A radical new take on Marvel's Sub-Mariner is bound to capture new and old fans alike.
You know how in comic book movies, every once in a while, it feels like we get an absolutely perfect pairing of character and actor? Robert Downey Jr. and Iron Man are now inseparable. Deadpool is forever Ryan Reynolds. You'll never bring up Wonder Woman and not talk about Lynda Carter. The actual comic books can be that way as well, at least from the perspective of a character and the writer behind them.
That's literally how the all-out battle for oceanic dominance is referred to in the issue, and the smile on my face could not be contained when those three words appeared on the page. Seven kings have staked a claim for the throne, and the world on land is just waiting for an excuse to hate the water-dwellers. With so much at stake, Namor is challenged to get over himself and realize that, problematic or not, he is the only hope Atlantis has at this point.
Even in the middle of two great art styles, what really sticks out here is Aaron's pitch-perfect characterization of Namor. Namor is an anti-hero who has no problem taking the low road. He's also charismatic and wildly likable, but not in the"wink at the camera and flash a sexy grin way that lets you know he'll always eventually do the right-and-hot thing." Namor can be a bad guy, but there's always a noble element to his actions that can't help but seem endearing.
