I found this cool fan fiction in Deviantart:
I'll have to think on it more, but I don't think many modern writers remember that Namor does have a few surface world friends. They want to believe he only works best as an antagonist or thorn in the side of a team. And while that can be amusing, they completely ignore all the relationships that were built in Namor's own book and on some of the original teams he was on and that he does have friends. Instead we see them sacrificed, like that awfulness with Stingray in Aaron's Avengers, or even this mess with Jim Hammond in Zdarsky's Invaders, to show Namor 'over the edge.'
I think the only one I can remember where Namor's friendships played a more heartwarming role was in Fear Itself The Deep, with Dr. Strange and Loa. I'm sure there were other isolated scenes, but none come immediately to mind.
Of course, this basically comes down to Namor NOT having his own book.
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?
Gosh Thor- El that is beautiful to see (': you don't know how many people love to pull the Aquaman beat Namor card when it comes to them when its so clear that Namor has the advantages, and i hated that video that talked about Aquaman twice as long as Namor and didn't even include all of Namor's abilities. thanks for sharing! Namor would totally win in that fight.

not sure if anyone saw this yet but it says "angry fish king" in this preview for a black panther comic...link
ALL-NEW ONGOING SERIES!
From the pages of Jason Aaron's AVENGERS! Vampires. Aliens. Angry fish kings. Black Panther's hand-picked Agents of Wakanda can handle it all. And who better to lead them than the king of the world's most technologically evolved country? Wakanda is making waves on the world's map - and not everyone's a fan. With General Okoye's help, T'Challa will take Gorilla-Man, Ka-Zar and Wasp on a global fight for survival - to handle threats S.H.I.E.L.D. could only dream of!
"No one should ever question where my allegiance lies." - Namor of Atlantis
And fair enough if some writers want to have Namor come off as less endearing for the sake of showing their own antagonistic take on "the angry Atlantean prince." His capability to be endearing shouldn't be forgotten of course, but so long as he's primarily recognized as a character that can convincingly teeter-totter between both, then I think it'll be fine.
Didn't realize there was a variant cover with Namor out this week. It's Marvel Comics Presents #9 by RAHZZAH. Very pretty and clean cut Namor.

That's a beautiful cover Rev!!! I will have to check out the comic to see if Namor is in there!

"And you eater of world. May you taste our righteous fire, And choke on it. For my planet's sake, I spit my last breath at thee"
I thought it was a striking Namor.
Sadly, no, Namor isn't in it. It was all Wolverine, in an effort, I think, to wrap up his story since the book is ending early, I believe. This cover is a montage of some of the non-Wolvie stories that were in the series, which is why Namor is on there -- the Greg Pak nuclear bomb story.
