It's very refreshing to see some John Buscema inspired Namor. He's definitely one of my favorite Namor artists.

Did a great job channeling John Buscema's take on Namor.

Makes me wonder if we will ever get Namor back in the speedo in comics?

This is nice! Haha, we can only wonder, wait and see!

That expression just says to me, "Do not call me "Spock", surface dweller!"

Agreed. Truly a legend (IMHO):

The classic Buscema years are my favorite. Byrne wasn't bad, I liked it more than now though. I didn't like the Savage subby arc, the art doesn't work for me. But I read them.

I always forget that this is by Big John -- in part because he's gone for the flat top triangle head look. I wonder why he went in that direction? Anyway, they even made this Sideshow statue out of the image -- which isn't as good as Big John's version, IMO.

No, Byrne isn't even close to Big John, IMO. Byrne draws Namor very wirey, and he doesn't come across as powerful.

LOL! Poor Namor. I'm sure he wondered who the heck was Spock?

I'm contemplating a pre-order. I know Gamestop carries FigPins, even if they aren't on this retailer list from FigPin.

So, while wondering WHERE the heck is my new Namor book, or next appearance, I realized it has been 30 years since we got Saga of the Sub-Mariner. That was a 50 year anniversary, but half of it, covered the 30 years of Namor's appearances since his return in the Silver Age. So, if you were doing a Saga II, how would you do it? Would you make it a 12 or 6 issue run? Who would get to for the creative team? I don't think writer wise, there's actually anyone who has kept up with Namor to the present. What do you think should be covered?

It would, of course, have to start off where the other ended, so there would have to be a couple of issues, at least, dealing with the 1990s run. After that, it gets a bit murky, IMO.

The first series ended with Marrina's death and Namor vowing to seek out her lost progeny. That's where I'd begin with the 2nd series (IMHO):

Waiting on him to be 100% confirmed to be in Black Panther 2, and then they will start pumping out books like usual.

I think Namor appearing in the BP movie is a bunch of hogwash, myself, as it is from the usual clickbait sites, and I haven't heard anything from the trade sites like Hollywood Reporter or Variety. It also makes little sense, as well as pretty much admitting they have run out of ideas for the Wakanda movie. Namor is a major character and Atlantis is another well established MU culture like Asgard and Wakanda itself. It would end up taking up too much of the movie and it's resources to put it and Namor properly on the screen, especially since they need to differentiate from DC's Aquaman.

Given who IS getting the push now, with books and comics, I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out Huerta is playing Ka-Zar or someone from the Savage Land. There could be a confrontation over the Savage Land vibranium.

I don’t know man. Those plot descriptions seem like it’s inevitable that Namor will be in the film. As much as the mere idea of a Wakanda vs Atlantis show without T’Challa makes my blood boil.

I agree somewhat. Black Panther has an actual Rogues gallery might as well use that, and let heroes stand as heroes either in their own films or in balanced crossovers.
