I was hoping the next arc would have Namor rejoin the Invaders as a hero. My main interest in this series was Namor just like in the Squadron Supreme defunct series. Both times I've been left underwhelmed. First in Squadron Supreme I was hoping for Namor to be handed a much better conclusion. While Invaders has been much better than SS for Namor, the way he is being drawn By Carlo Magno is really not my cup of tea as the character visually is almost unrecognizable. Guice makes a better Namor but still too slender IMO, even with the hated blue leotard Leonard Kirk draw a much better Namor in the SS.
link I've sent messages to Zdarsky and Magno but still no reply, if anything changes I'll let you all know. Hope he does give an answer otherwise we are stuck waiting until it's announced. I wish Marvel had promoted Invaders more, that's always their problem, they never promote anything like Invaders! I haven't seen any bad reviews from articles or anything and alot of people are enjoying the series.

Namor the Sub-Mariner, Marvel's oldest character, will have been published for 85 years in 2024. So where's my GOOD Namor anniversary ongoing, Marvel?
Carlos Magno confirmed that 12 is the last issue. ):

I hate Namor in X-books. It robs him of his uniqueness and makes him just another one of the endless array of mutants. He should always be an outsider, unable to fit into any world, with completely unique hybrid biology. (which is why I also dislike the Namora/Namorita knockoffs)

You're welcome and yeah, we might as well enjoy it while it lasts, who knows where Namor will show up next. I really think that this is the best time to for him to get a solo, he just got rid of Xavier's influence and it might be the best we have at good picking up point for him, if only Marvel would see that. ):

Carlos Magno last tweet seems to hint that there will be another project down the line with the Invaders or am I misunderstanding?
"About #INVADERS #marvelcomics: We saw that everybody loves the series... as we do. But Chip, Butch, Alex, Tom, Alanna and myself still have a lot of work to do. Keep the eye on the news and don't miss the end of this incredible book. Best."
Bruce Timm Namor vs Iron Man! Would love a Bruce Timm Namor animated series.
I think Magno just means that he and the team still have three comics to put out before its wrapped for good and im sure they are working on issue 11 and 12 right now. thats how i saw that tweet. But oh i loved the batman animated series, imagine if we had gotten something like that for namor? or any animated show would be good.

I think John Buscema drew what I think is one of the most definitive images of Namor.
It’s funny they haven’t given Namor a child yet. They did with other golden age heroes or a child/father type relationship
Actually Namor had a child, but that wasn't a good relationship, the boy was a bit mad at Namor for being absent and was a heavy human hater who organized some terrorist attacks against a small country and tried to overthrow him. In response, in what I felt like an OC moment for Namor, he just killed him.
And now I think about if is a bit ironic since that what Kamar (the son of Namor) did was actually extracting the air of a small town to let them get asphyxiated.
Well to be honest Xavier is a jerk who has manipulated anyone who trusted him, I also prefer Namor in defenders but I don't think that we should blame all the X-men for the actions of a single person, also thinks that all that trash who was given to Scott for accidentally kill him was stupid if something it should have counted as a good action.
Well I actually like him as a mutant (as a guest member) because that actually give him a group to belong and a large cast but I can see your point.
