Namor is Kinda Useless in Next Week's Invaders #1

Published Sun, 13 Jan 2019 11:00:01 -0600

Next week sees the relaunch of Invaders, and a preview of the issue brings us back to World War II, the good old days when people still knew what to do with a Nazi. But Namor, the King of Atlantis, isn't really living up to his hype. The preview shows Namor, weakened because he's a little thirsty, try and fail to save a soldier. By the time his ally Captain America (who also used to know what to do with Nazis instead of being one back then) finds him, this is what Namor looks like.

What happened to Imperius Rex, dude? Get it together, Namor! It's only the first issue!

Of course, the cover shows modern goth Namor, so as you can see, the whole story won't be set in the past. AV Club had this one as an EX-X-XCLUSIVE. Invaders #1 hits stores next Wednesday, January 16.
