  I never really considered or was a fan, per se, of Namor. I always though of him as a little silly, a fish-man with bird wings on his feet, but I overlooked his metaphoric significance, and am glad that I picked up this volume. It helped explain the significance of this characters complexity, and storytelling potential. It would be interesting to see how other writers over the years have used Namor, and how writers in the future will. Theres a lot to write about considering his complexities. Read Full Review
