IMPERIUS REX! Namor the Sub-Mariner Appreciation 2021

[Phoenixx9]

One of my absolute fav reads and story arcs involving Namor was from late 80s John Buscema drawn Avengers . The story takes place post Hercules beat down causing coma lmao by the Masters of Evil , Zeus blames the Avengers and makes them prisoners on Olympus . I mean everyone including the power house God of Thunder . The only one not captive was Namor he proceeds to rescues our heroes. The whole story combined my fav characters, art and mythology all in one . It’s so good!!!!

Isn't that Neptune on the cover holding Namor? I would think Neptune would have a closer bond with Namor than Hercules, but perhaps not?

Pretty sure...This is him being angry about what happened to Hercules. He blames the Avengers for what happened to him especially Namor.

IIRC, while Neptune wasn't happy about Hercules, it was Zeus who was making him "turn" against Namor. This also resulted in Neptune and the other Greek gods being forbidden to interfere / communicate with the mortal world.

My impression was that Neptune was reluctant to capture Namor because it was Zeus who was angry and commanded his brother to bring Namor to him.

This was my favorite Avengers team.

*Just add She-Hulk.

The Roger Stern era was awesome! So many great stories.

Okay, I knew it was really Zeus' fault. ;p

I was looking for something else and I came across the old 90's Marvel Team ups...

Oh no. Is this the prelude to .... Captain Atlantis??

I also love how Wong comes in and immediately assumes Namor did something to Doctor Strange. LOL!

Yeah, going from villain to anti-hero to hero and back again you never know what Namor you are going to get?

Ah.. memory is fuzzy.

I recall that era of Avengers, Namor and Marrina were in newlywed bliss before Namor was snapped up by Neptune and taken because of what happened to Hercules. Speaking of Hercules I need another broship team up with Namor and Herc, they are so entertaining together!

I think most of the run is being ignored and forgotten. Aaron is a good writer. But his Avenger run ... I just don't know what happened. His Namor is going to be bad, because he's mostly using him to make other characters look good -- and I don't think he's read any Namor books.

Of course, Pak does. He's biracial, himself.

I wish Marvel would give Pak a chance to write Namor in a series.

Yes, Marvel Team Up (1997) #8 Namor goes to Doctor Strange for help and in issue #9 Steve finds Namor and also the Captain Atlantis suit appears XD

Once Marvel releases the Namor movie and he becomes the most popular MCU character EVER, then we can have a second Namor ongoing, sort of an anthology book, concentrating on his amazing team - ups! Herc and Namor! Namor and Jim Hammond! Namor and Emma! Namor and Magneto! Namor and Hulk! Namor and Doom! The possibilities and fun are endless!

I wish Marvel would give Pak a chance to write Namor in a series.

I'm not sure he's interested, but I'd settle for a mini-series, at this point.

My eyes!!!

Mine too. But I blame 80 plus years of Namor's history. ;p

I wonder how many times Wong has had to clean up the mess Namor (with the help of his fellow Defenders) have made of the Sanctum Sanctorum?

AMAZING photoshoot of NamorCosplay.

Heroes Reborn Fantastic Four , The 90's version, Jim Lee art and words, I think, though, the words may be Lobdell... Haven't read it in a while and I just snatched this off the net.

NamorCosplay's works are the highlight of fandom! I love seeing all their new photoshoots and honestly this one is so cool! It's just like the covers when Namor rushes an unfortunate enemy XD

Not really keeping up with things, but interested.

Will Atlantis be mentioned in Eternals, anciently or otherwise?

I know, probably from some wrong-youtube.
They will probably build Namor/Atlantis through some other movies, until they work out a deal for buying him back or similar to Sony/Spiderman?
