Now THAT should be a celebration to the max! Of course, we fans will have to do it, cause it ain't going happen with Marvel.

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 of the net.

Jim Lee does draw a pretty Namor, and I do appreciate that.

And there's the counter-earth Lady Dorma. Boy, she sure changes her tune.

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

I do enjoy them when I catch them. And yes! Love how the water moves. His pose and that remind me of those WWII, in the periscope view pics of Namor.

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?

There's a lot of speculation that pre-cataclysm Atlantis will be in Eternals, so they can show the Celestials drowning it (and the Deviants).

My understanding is that the rights situation with Namor is very similar to the Hulk. IOW, Marvel owns the rights to use him and make movies, but they don't wholly own the distribution rights. And because they are greedy, they won't make any solo Hulk movies anymore, because they don't want to share the profits with Universal for distribution.

Spider-Man is a completely different rights situation, i.e. Sony owns the movie AND the distribution rights. Not sure why Disney Marvel is willing to share, but Spider-Man is a HUGE character in the MU, whereas Namor is sadly, no longer such.

Yes Indeed. Happy 82nd Marvel Anniversay of Namor Adventures!

And in just under 6 months Namor will celebrate his 100th Birthday!

I'm already working on a little something for the fans, 100 icons of Namor over the last 80 years, hope I can finish it in time for his 100th!

Lol, well it can be considered his birthday in a way, but it is really Namor's Anniversary appearance of 82 years.

Namor's "real" (100th) birthday will be in about 6 months on 02-22-2022.

That is awesome! Can't wait to see them. Once again, the fans come through, when Marvel FAILS utterly in these anniversary celebrations.


Marvel.com had a few things for yesterday, including 82 comics for 82 years ... with like 75% of the comics from 2000+. Some is seriously delusional over there if they think 75% of their "most influential" comics are from the last 20 years.

Been thinking of a bit on the X-books. Do you think Namor and the Atlanteans should vacate Earth for a while? It just can't be that pleasant of a place to live anymore, with the climate change and pollution and constant attacks from the surface.

Hmmn. That could be interesting to see "Atlanteans in Space"! Certainly, we would see more of their super-science and some new inventions!

If anyone is reading Dark Ages for Namor, don't bother because spoilers:

Atlantis is destroyed again! YOU WOULD THINK A CIVILIZATION THAT HAD THE MEANS OF TECH THAT ISN'T HUMAN AND ARE MORE ADVANCED THAN HUMANS WOULD BE EXEMPT BUT NOOO JUST ANOTHER AU WHATEVER EVENT WHERE NAMOR IS REDUCED TO ONE PAGE OF HIS CITY BEING DESTROYED AGAIN. i hate it here!

end of spoilers anyways I'll keep an eye out for any more Namor but I am not hopeful at this point. :/

Maybe another reason that the Atlanteans should go into space for a while....?
