Why not? There were copies of it printed, just very few distributed. And although technically first officially appearing for Timely in Marvel Comics #1, Namor was created and put on paper in April 1939. So if they were going by the creation date, it's accurate. If we're going by the date Marvel published it, then Oct 1939 would be the right date, and it would be Human Torch who was the first, Namor second. Really depends on who you ask, and what would qualify for a "birth" date.

No I was thinking of Aaron's run, Mighty Thor #10. Two SHIELD agents look through Jane's phone and discover she and Sam have been sending each other "unseemly"" texts. At the same time this arc was going on, Spencer had already had Sam and Misty get together in his title. So either way they made Sam into a cheater.
So is Starbrand dead? As one of the five people who read Starbrand and Nightmask, I am disappointed.
Well, I liked the read, I imagine most people would have a bit of a better impression if it wasn't for all the leaks, well... I just find it weird that this is just a one-shot teasing story-lines, cause it reads like it was all part of a greater scheme meant to come together on later issues... And I also expected more of the B.C Avengers, but I ain't mad that we didn't got that really.
