I hope so, but it could be Aaron too. It seems whatever Aaron is doing with Namor has gotten Editorial to actually do something with Namor that has consequences that we should see. I'm just hoping it will lead to better things for the character.
There's definitely something going on with Namor. However it gets fixed / explained, it better bring back Stingray. I hated when Robinson killed off Namor to prop up Squadron Supreme -- I certainly don't like it when it's done to Stingray, even for Namor. Such a waste.
I hate the stubble, also. It is just wrong. I think you'll like the Defenders and Invaders with Carlos Magno and Butch Guice. Namor looks more muscular.
Oh dear. That costume and pony tail. O_O
And Namor being carried off like he just made the winning touch down pass. LOL! But it is nice to see Namor having a good time with friends and to see his cast of regulars, like Triton and Diane Arliss and STINGRAY! Thank you for posting that.
And no, no. Can't agree. The business with Hyperion was in no way justified.
