The previous issue of this series was reviewed recently and in terms of
Namor content, it was basically a throwaway. This one is as well so we'll get through it and move on to something else for a while.
Kang likes to screw around with time and in doing so has created a number of alternate timelines. As a result, he has also created copies of himself in those timelines. He is now attempting to destroy those copies and be the one and only.
What does that have to do with
Namor? Precious little, I'm afraid. But the issue starts to hint at things to come for the Atlantean monarch.
Back in
issue 263, a couple of cops showed surprise at seeing
Namor with the
Avengers. You try to destroy the surface world a few times and some people just can't seem to let it go.
Writer Roger Stern provides us with a reminder of this attitude by the general public towards
Namor as
The Wasp arrives at
Avengers manor to be greeted by protestors.
Namor doesn't give a carp's ass though because he's out with
Captain America and the
Captain Marvel of the time, Monica Rambeau. They're testing out the team's new sub so of course he'd prefer to hang with them.
Cap suggests that being an
Avenger will help bring out
Namor's good side as opposed to his ego and arrogance. Gad, let's hope not! He also recognizes that Rambeau doesn't quite trust the avenging son. That might be a little nugget to file away.
The other team members have been abducted by
Kang and thrown into his scheme so presumably this bunch will head off for the big rescue in the next issue, but for now that's it for
Namor. Hopefully he starts throwing some fists in the next one, I can only read about the
Wasp and the
Black Knight so much!
