Issue #2 ended on a pretty sharp cliffhanger as Namor fought the Griffin in the waters outside the statue of liberty. Its final panel was of the Griffin emerging from the water, prepared to maul Namor's current budding love interest, Carrie...something.
Issue gives us resolution.
The Griffin was unconscious and thrown out of the water so he was never a threat to Carrie Whatever. What a friggin' letdown.
Namor then flies this Carrie to visit her dad in the hospital since pops had a heart attack in the previous issue. Little does he know he is being watched.
Namor uses his access to the Avengers files to track the Griffin back to Roxxon oil. He believes that his foray into the business world has drawn the wrong kind of attention so he's off to make a point.
He starts by taking the Griffin, whom he'd caged nearby, and uses the beast as a sort of wilder Pegasus.
He crashes into a Roxxon board meeting and questions one of the fat cats there but gets no answers. He shrugs off the failure to gather information but leaves them to deal with Griffin as a "reward". We also find out that the creepy Marss twins are still keeping tabs on him.
Aside from the dud resolution to issue two's cliffhanger, this moved moved things along nicely and began to build interest in another character in this Headhunter chick. Not a bad read on a Sunday afternoon.
