Was this in the King in Black/Namor mini? I join you guys in wanting Dorma resurrected. I always thought one could use Secret War 2015 as the means to bring back some characters that Marvel killed off. Battlleworld had the remnants of 7 or 8 different multiverses that Doom, Molecule Man and Dr. Strange were able to save before the Beyonders got their chance to wipe everything out. We never saw her in a tie in, but whose to say there wasn't a Dorma in one or more of those surviving remnants? It was never clear to me what happened to those pieces of Battleworld once Reed, Molecule Man and Franklin rebuilt the multiverse.
You are right about the trading card art being the source. I found an article about Joe Jusko on the Marvel site from July that announced that the month of October is going to have 22 variant covers featuring his "Marvel Masterpieces" trading card illustrations
I ask myself this EVERYDAY! I just know that if Marvel is going to use Namor in the mcu then we might get an ongoing! I'm hoping Busiek returns to pick up the threads here!
I'm enjoying it but so far it feels very cosmicy but the art is just beautiful. I will post here if any more og defenders show up.
Yes! From King in Black: Namor issue #5

Marvel won't give us any Namor appearances, so we'll have to make do with ... MR. NIMBUS!!
They even did the FF #4 cover homage!

This article says the book will drop tomorrow, but I saw somewhere else where it said October 6.
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?

A surprise appearance of Namor today!

Me shaking my fists at Marvel: GIVE BUSIEK A NAMOR SOLO!!!!
I love this cameo though XD

Seriously.
You know, the next time I get that lame a$$ excuse that Namor is better as a supporting character / foil, I'm going to point to all the knock offs of Namor that are doing just damn fine in the solo field. It just makes me so mad.
If Marvel would just invest half the effort they did, in their awesome original, Namor would once again be a top tier character.
It was a pleasant surprise, though I think we spotted the unlettered, inked page a while back. I wish Cinar had gone with his own interpretation of the "throne of Atlantis" as I think this is far too "inspired" by the Jim Lee classic, that Subby39 has.
I certainly wouldn't complain about a Busiek Namor solo, but I'm not sure he's got room on his plate for that. I was actually stunned he did the King in Black mini-series. It would be super cool if he actually followed up the mini-series with another one, set in the present, dealing with the Black Tide and bringing back our beloved Lady Dorma back. Patrick Zircher has expressed an interest in drawing Namor, and IIRC, something in the horror vein. I bet they'd knock it out of the park on that.

SERIOUSLY!!! Like the whole issue is they have zero confidence in the character even though they never once gave him the proper attention, his last solos were way too short and they keep waiting like 10 years between them? what's the deal with that? Are they only making a solo run so they can keep rights or something?

Not Namor related, but I’m being cover quoted on next week’s Defenders issue! It’s my first!
Yeah, I'm beginning to suspect the copyright thing be what's happening -- which is beyond sad. Though I think we got the 2002 Tsunami Namor because Universal was seriously trying to do the Namor movie. The 2010 and 2020 Namor books, look more like a copyright thing -- both spun out of 'events' so Marvel probably thought they could justify the sales with the event boost. Of course, I don't know for sure. But I have always found modern Marvel's lack of support for Namor baffling. It really is the writers who have been pushing for his use -- or abuse. ;p

I hope things will change with any MCU inclusion but then again it really just boils down to whomever is in charge picking and choosing what events/comics/characters they want to push. But yes, so at this rate we can expect Namor's next miniseries to be in about 10 years time :/ And why have they cute down miniseries from 6 to 5 issues? I know why Marvel keeps rebooting after 10-12 issues for series but honestly all these constant new series without sticking to anything does nothing to help characters grow a good fanbase again.
I just get so frustrated because I love this character so much but we can't seem to have anything that is long lasting with him but writers can use him terribly in their other ongoings with no care to the impact on the character.
There is just so much potential with Namor and his world and it's so sad that the Powers that Be cannot see this.
