New-Look Namor?

Oh, boy. I don't know about this...

CBR.com highlighted a new design for The Avenging Son based on a cover for Avengers #9. Check that out below.

AVENGERS #9 

JASON AARON (Writer)
DAVID MARQUEZ (Art/Cover) 

WORLD WAR BELOW! 

With the underwater world on the brink of war, the Avengers go aquatic to save the day, but air-breathers are no longer welcome in the undersea city of Atlantis. And Namor, the Sub-Mariner, lord of the seven seas, has a bold new plan that will change the balance of power on Earth forever. 

32 PGS./Rated T+ …$3.99

The new look might debut in issue 8 of this series based on the following portion of its solicitation.

Behold the wonders of Avengers Mountain. But someone who doesn’t seem impressed is Namor, the ferocious lord of Atlantis, whose rage may turn the oceans red with blood!

I may end up being surprised but I can't help but be reminded of rockabilly Lobo from a few years ago which went over like a turd in a punch bowl.

Issue eight should be available at the end of September, nine in early October.

For all that the big reveal takes place in the Avengers book, it appears that Namor will continue to appear in the X-Men Red book based on that book's September solicitation.

In the wake of an unprecedented assault on Atlantis, the X-Men must react and recover…while at the mercy of a world that grows more hostile to mutants every day, and a foe who is determined to keep it that way!

No matter what he happens to be wearing, at least our boy's in rotation!
