I hope we get to see their friendship in the MCU! They’re one of my favorite friendships in comics.

Submariner Summer 8

Hey Namor Nation, its time: part 8 of #SubmarinerSummer read through--Tales to Astonish #77, To Walk Amonst MEN! Hulk gets the cover, and frankly from here on Hulk and Namor will alternate the covers pretty much. Should I not post the Hulk covers? Let me know if you think so!

Still, it may not have been a Namor cover, but the title page is a banger. Regal af frfr, Gene Colan ate, etc etc. Clearly Stan was inspired to get fancy with the words when he saw that page

Anyway, Namor informs his council he's going to the surface to take care of the disaster at the source. The Council isn't thrilled, worried about the danger to him from the surfacers, though Vashti backs him up. Only Namor alone can save Atlantis! Imperius Rex!

Meanwhile, the people continue to suffer, crying out for their Prince to act. But not Dorma, she wants to go with Namor; Namor, of course, says no, firstly because he doesn't want her in danger, but also because she has to watch for The Behemoth, a mysterious weaponized monster created by Atlantis for a doomsday scenario

So off to the surface Namor jets, soon encountering a massive drill that's causing the destruction. At least it wasn't nukes this time 😀👍

Then we cut to the surface and...oh oh oh of course. Dr. Hank Pym, the human science disaster himself. (also Jan!)

At any rate, Namor makes sure the drill stops hurting his people, then goes to tell the surfacers to *not* destroy the indigenous people of the place. Which, of course, means its time for the US to attack; nobody tells 'Merica what to do

And, lets be serious: Namor is always ready to let the surfacers fuck around, because he will let them find out. Oh, sorry, I mean: "If it is battle they seek...it is battle they shall get!"

Even still, he actually slips into the US ship rather than just destroy it outright, but he's in no mood for diplomacy; its his way or the seaway and he commands a halt. Dr Pym isn't having it though, he's got a job to do. And...we've reached our cliffhanger!

This issue is cooking for sure. A touch of Atlantean politics, a bit of exposition with Namor and Dorma foreshadowing a threat, and then a classic "the surface goads Namor into hostility" scenario with a reveal of Avengers Ant-Man and the Wasp themselves in their civilian identities.

The title and end pages are both especially good, great book-ending. Colan really continues to deliver on this series. And so come back for the next installment--Tales to Astonish #78: The Prince and the Puppet!

do you have any reccs for antman and wasp comics? seeing you post abt them has made me interested in getting into their stuff :)

Hi anon! I'm really glad you got interested in them via my posts! I'm going to focus on Hank and Janet together as a specific duo with a certain branding, theme and vibe, rather than them as separate characters, or even as a specific timeline on their relationship, but if you want something more like those then let me know and I can write something out!

Tales to Astonish #27 is the debut of Hank Pym, with #35 being the first official appearance of Ant-Man and Janet debuting in #44. If you like 60s comics and themeing, and are endeared to the LeeKirby style, start here. You can basically read this series consistently from these issues on to #52, or #70 if you don't mind the A-stories featuring the Hulk. If 60s comics aren't your speed though...

Avengers Origins: Ant-Man and the Wasp. A single issue retelling of their origin, which is a perfect modern jumping off point if you aren't up for the original comic run.

I won't recommend too many Avengers issues because there's a lot of moments interspersed in the original run, but Hank and Jan are in #1-#16, and return in #26 and appear pretty consistently from there. They're married in #59-#60, which is a weird arc I have a lot of thoughts on, but there you are.

Marvel Team-Up #59-#60 is a team-up series with Spider-Man which is weird but fun, which to my knowledge is the only time Claremont has ever written Janet and he immediately tries to give her more powers which I find funny.

Marvel Feature #4-#11. A series that attempted to recreate the vibe of Tales to Astonish and reestablish Hank and Jan as solo series that didn't quite pan out, but I find it a very endearing little series. They have a dog!

Tales to Astonish V3 is a strangely endearing series post their divorce, which I have a lot of affection for. It is really weird, though.

Ant-Man's Big Christmas probably isn't strictly canon but it's probably my favourite Hank and Jan issue ever, I reread it every Christmas because it's just so fun and sweet.

Avengers Fairy Tales #2 is an AU but I think it's cute, so I'm rec'ing it as a little extra thing you may have fun reading.

Aaaaand you can probably read the Busiek run of Avengers (volume 3), which is #1-#56 of the run. Hank and Jan are sharing space with a lot of other characters (Wanda is really the driving force of this run, if you're asking me), but Janet and Hank get their own arcs throughout so if you're jonesing for a longer run, this is it.

Hope this is what you're looking for! Let me know how the reading goes :333

reread ff today. I miss them so much but I do think it’s absolutely tragic that they broke up scott and darla before the advent of stan twitter. can you imagine. she’s the in universe superhero taylor swift. she’s everything. but not only is he divorced and an ex con, not only is there a not insignificant age gap between the two, not only is he antman, but they started dating after she broke up with johnny storm, who must have just a truly astonishing number of thirst trap fan edits and stan accounts. like they were the #it couple people were planning the “storming” wedding pictures of them just standing next to each other were getting a million likes and then they break up and darla shows up with the most divorced man in the world on her arm. the death threats scott would be getting would be classified as psychological warfare.
