Screw Namor
So I just got Sub-Mariner #1
Kind of spoiler, for those sensitive people out there.
Whatever Namor, I miss Aqua-man! But I am not a big gan of his water hand.
This issue is all about tying the Initiative stuff up. Iron man once again looks like a douche bag, Namebore is a dick and hates land people, kills a guy no one knows, and we have a #1 book I could care less about.
Who do you like more Prince Nimrod or Aqua-man?
-Pete
Just so i'm 100% clear, is the team done updating the videos? That's sad, watching pete get railroaded was the highlight of my every-other weekday.

sub-mariner was the first marvel character. he is one of the first if not the first anti-hero in comics. he is a very complex character. i guess modern comics writers find him too difficult to write or perhaps modern comic readers have difficulty relating to him because he is not morally black and white. namor has a true personality. he has a temper. he pitches temper tantrums! he acts before he thinks. he speaks without thinking. he is arrogant. he falls in love with the wrong women. he gets his feelings hurt. he wears his heart on his sleeve. he is torn between two cultures. he doesn't feel that he fits in anywhere. he has all the personality traits that we can all possess or display at times. marvel is very inconsistent about his powers as well. some times he doesn't weaken on land, some times he possess all the powers of marine life and can command all the animals of the sea, he can control water...and some times he can't. the earth is covered in 2/3 water...it is namor's world, he just lets us live in!
overall i liked dc best, but here as of late i have to admit marvel is kickin' dc's butt! namor is my favorite marvel character. overall he is my second favorite comic book character. namor is the origianl. aquaman is the rip-off...and a lame rip-off at that. he didn't even have a personality until they made him moody and brooding...like namor. that harpoon hand was the lamest thing ever...until they gave him a magic water hand.
God I hate Mr. Fantastic. They can't even make him cool in the movies. And its not just that hes a dick Its the way he looks at you very arrogant
Interestingly about Superman, a line written in a very recent issue: he didn't choose his powers. He DID choose what to do with them. In my book, that makes him the best of the best. As opposed to Marvel heroes, many of whom (just ask Pete) are now dicks: Mr. Fantastic, Iron Man - all jerks now. Silver Surfer - big crybaby. Spider-Man - love him, but big crybaby - guy's got a supermodel wife - I can no longer relate. Wolverine, Punisher - cool characters to read about (go Pete) but they'd kill you as soon as look at you.
The road to hell is paved with people trying to do good. Good is too subjective. Batman does what needs to be done, whether its perceived as good or not. Thats far more interesting than some infinitely powered boy scout rescuing the same cat out of a tree over and over. Meanwhile Batman cuts down the tree, and then puts the old lady with 23 cats in the looney bin....
Of course Wolverine just kills them all and lets God sort it out, and the Hulk smashes the whole neighborhood.
lol What about Sentry a clear rip off of Superman
Clearly you're not reading Marvel's new superhero book, "The Philanthropic Sunshine Man."
Superman is the most interesting character out there. His capaicty for good is greater then anyones in existance.
"Your plea might work if there were actually any DC fans. Batman is the only interesting superhero they have"
[quitley looks around]
No DC fans? That must be why Supermans been around since 1938?
I prefer DC but I still think Namors cooler.
Yeah! Talking trash I love it!
I would say there are a fair number of super heroes who wear there underwear on the outside, I don't think David actually knows them though. I see your point cubsmodano, but I still think Aquaman is better.
Namor's the first Marvel Hero (or at least the first one anybody remembers). That's gotta count for something.
Hey, I know a LOT of people who wear their underwear on the outside of their pants. It's a fashion statement.
Your plea might work if there were actually any DC fans. Batman is the only interesting superhero they have. The rest are just wimps who wear their underwear on the outside of their pants...
THem's fightin words, footsore! How 'bout it DC fans? Is DC for wimps??!
Aquaman is just a suck up to the Man, like most of the DC gimpy heroes. Namor is pissed off and not gonna take it anymore. That pretty much sums up DC vs Marvel right there...DC is for wimps!
Namor because he rules
His series a few years ago rocked [I'm not picking this up though, its just using Namor to promote Civil War]
