Submariner Summer 27

Hello friends, time for #SubmarinerSummer part 27, and we are reading Tales to Astonish #93: The Monarch And The Monster! Hulk clashes with Silver Surfer on the cover. Title page puts us right in the fight of Navy vs Namor vs IT. And look...a certain Roy Thomas now scripts

The sub's torpedo causes a rockslide; Namor deftly avoids it, but IT does not. Believing his foe crushed, Namor heads for the sub, but he is very wrong.

As IT rises from under the rubble, Namor finds he can't bring himself to just destroy the sub. Instead he damages it to try and force their retreat, causing panic in the crew inside who thought the radioactive IT was Namor

IT now returns to the fray, so Namor punches IT in the face, because that's how he do. However, he's starting to get weaker though he doesn't know why, but we do: IT's radioactivity is starting to poison Namor. And as he weakens, IT counterattacks

Though quickly getting desperately weak, Namor manages to dodge a full-strength lunge from IT, causing IT to collide with the sub and crash through! The crew peeps IT, realizing their enemy WASN'T Namor. Namor though barely manages to get off the sub as it surfaces, near death

Once in the deep and away from IT, he recovers enough to swim again, just in time to avoid a giant octopus. NOT TODAY, OCTOPUS. He returns to Atlantis essentially victorious, and gets medical treatment for his radiation poisoning.

However, having clashed with the U.S. Navy after it crossed into his territory and caused havoc yet again, Namor has finally had enough. It's time to DO something about it: it's time for a Council of WAR! And thus ends this issue!

A high-octane battle issue, with a couple fun turns, and Adkins still doing a good job on art. Roy Thomas slid in smoothly into Stan's slot, a specialty of his, and this won't be the last time he gets his hands on the sea prince. So all in all, really good stuff.

NEXT time, though, the drums of war beat as we join Namor in Tales to Astonish #94: Helpless, At The Hands Of Dragorr!

I'm a sucker for back shots of Goji and for shots of massive amounts of water falling off kaiju, so this shot made me happy.
