Marvel Comics certainly does not overuse Namor these days, as he does not seem to pop up as often as one would think Back in those days, though, Namor was all the rage He was everywhere, including this awesome book by Roy Thomas and John Buscema Up for auction and taking bids until the end[...]

We're trying to space this stuff out so we don't spend all our Remender stimulus money at once, so today let's look at Remender's rejected pitch for a Namor series. Found a bunch of old notes and series pitches for Lobo, Namor, Silver Surfer, Iron Fist, Guardians of the Galaxy, and Ka-Zar All declined between 2006-2009[...]

The current Namor-starring comic book series from Marvel, Invaders, may be coming to an end, but don't expect writer and Sex Criminals co-creator Chip Zdarsky to be done with the Sub Mariner. I am told that after his announced once-or-twice Fantastic Four/X-Men mini-series with Terry Dodson, to look to Chip to write a Namor X-Men-related book, part of[...]

We've got a preview, finally answering the question: what if Namor and Captain America spent an entire issue hanging out topless on a beach? Sure enough, Cap and Namor have been stranded on an island without their powers, which means it's time to take off their shirts (well, Namor is never wearing one anyway) and get[...]

FoxNet Games announced five new characters on the way to Marvel Strike Force, as we're getting the complete Fantastic Four and Namor You can read the full details and see the trailer here, but essentially they're coming in with a bang and in time for an 8th Anniversary event Best of luck to all of[...]

In this preview of Invaders #6, we see that old Captain America in action. Of course, this is literally the old Captain America, as this scene takes place in a flashback to 1943, with Cap taking on Master Man on the battlefields of World War 2… But unlike the social media services of today, Cap knows exactly[...]

A lot of things can be said about Namor He's kind of a dick He looks good in a speedo But most importantly, he's always known exactly what to do with Nazis, as we see illustrated in the flashback in this preview of Invaders #5 No talking No debate No playing dress-up Just a good[...]

Namor the Submariner is known for being a curmudgeon of the seas, always scowling and shouting "imperius rex" and trying to start wars with the surface world and whatnot But underneath his gruff, chiseled exterior, is Namor just a big softy on the inside? This preview of next week's Invaders #4 shows another side of[...]

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,[...]

For example, Namor was still kind of a grouch, and in this preview of next week's Marvel Comics Presents debut, taking place back in the Golden Age, he just wants to be done with the surface world and all their wars. Unfortunately, the Americans have other ideas Hitler may be dead, but there are still Nazis[...]

We already know that Namor the Submariner is an fervent environmentalist, but the King of Atlantis's affinity for liberal politics knows no bounds In next week's The Best Defense: Namor, Namor endures an argument with his xenophobic advisors over his plans to allow exiled ethnic group the Vodani into Atlantis… But regardless of their objections, Namor[...]

And contrary to some nonsensical online arguments that comics from the 1980s didn't feature blatant political messages, this wordless story makes a big statement about environmentalism. It begins with the King of Atlantis merrily frolicking throughout a scenic natural landscape in nothing but his bracelets and his tight green speedo — Imperius Rex! It's a lovely[...]

It takes guts for a 79-year-old character to rock fishnet, but nobody ever accused Namor the Submariner of lacking fashion courage The King of Atlantis makes an appearance in a preview of Avengers #9, breaking up the latest squabble in the long-running family drama of Stingray and Tiger Shark, and, well… Perhaps Namor has gotten jealous[...]

Jean Grey, Storm, Gentle, and Namor are on the scene to respond Above the Atlantic, Trinary, Wolverine, Gabby, Nightcrawler, and Gambit are in the process of stealing the phone of the deceased British ambassador However, one of the men aboard the plane is activated by a Sentinite and begins firing into the cargo hold One[...]

Hulk and Namor were both members of the original team of Defenders alongside Doctor Strange, as they first appeared in 1971's Marvel Features #1 Soon after, Silver Surfer joined the team, but we'll have to wait until the rest of the teasers are revealed before we see who else is on the lineup. Check out the[...]

Namor, Nightcrawler, and Storm don't get much to do, but future issues will likely spotlight them more. Cassandra Nova is further expanded upon (yes, I do know she's an older villain) in the context of this story Her mutant hatred is motivated by her near-death at the hands of Charles Xavier This doesn't mean that it's[...]

X-Men Red finds the team doing whatever possible to fight the Sentinites while the world fears mutants more than ever before. Is it a good read?

Once more, the story flows well, the characters are entertaining, and the social allegory is interesting. While it does touch on the idea of social media influencing mass opinion, it actually takes a step away with a new concept to X-Men comics, "the Sentinites." While the name is a bit pained, it does serve as an[...]

Then they meet Beatnick Namor. When Kamala refuses some wine, Namor invites her to an orgy, which she also refuses Namore calls her a square and offers to get her high in any number of ways Blink is kind of into it, but she's concerned about the time-eater Then things take a dark turn when an[...]

In X-Men Red #2, the X-Men are holding out in Wakanda after the apparent murder of the UK ambassador at the hands of Jean Grey. Plus, a mutant named Trinary is taken into custody in India. Is it a good read?

There are some exterior plot details that details that appear looked-over in this first issue like why is Namor even getting involved with the X-Men again That being said, wanting to tell a precise X-Men story cannot be praised enough when considering this book's X-peers of the moment Kicking things off with a tight first[...]

A worthy redo. #gallery-3 { margin: auto; } #gallery-3 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 50%; } #gallery-3 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-3 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */ Next up is a classic Namor I was really worried about the wings on his feet, I have read reports of them breaking off in the package[...]

Joining team leader Jean Grey, the first character to be revealed via clickbait article, is Wakandan mutant Gentle and Atlantean super-jerk Namor the Submariner! Marvel revealed the news on Twitter: The Wakandan mutant Gentle returns alongside Namor the Sub-Mariner in "X-Men Red"!

Secret Empire #8 has more high points than low, but it’s badly hindered by the mounds of padding. That said, it’s one of the best issues of the series.

It reflected a self-consciousness; the story seemed afraid that its character could not bear the weight of the title on her own. I was apprehensive at the idea that we were getting yet another one in Namor, the Sub-Mariner I thought that this was beginning to resemble a Marvel Team-Up title more than one about Jean[...]

Rayshaun takes up the offer and, the new Patriot is born. And then the second story is a random tale about Hydra Bob and a few other lackeys trying to arrest an Inhuman woman. The final story is a continuation of the "Sanctuary" story, where the Torch and Toro attempted to find a place to hide out[...]

Everything I've seen of it looks amazing, but recently IGN suggested that some of the nods within the ride could mean possible future movies. From the picture below (from IGN), it's clear that this "Asgardian Hammer" is based on Beta Ray Bill's hammer. #gallery-1 { margin: auto; } #gallery-1 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-1 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-1[...]

They still speak with a familiar optimism and idealism even when the chips are falling into the sewer. Namor on the other hand, doesn't give much in the feelings department He's still the cold, straightforward, rude boy that we all know and love Namor clearly has a lot of gears turning beneath the surface and when[...]

We're talking about beloved heroes like Namor the Submariner and Human Torch we think, and, wait, why is Captain Marvel on the cover? Doesn't she and a bunch of those other heroes already have their own series? Screw it In Secret Empire: Brave New World, you can finally stop wondering what Black Panther, Miles Morales, Carol Danvers,[...]
