In his most up-to-date Forbidden Planet vlog visitor spot, Marvel EVP Tom Brevoort talked to Andrew Sumner about what’s behind the brand new Namor The Sub-Mariner: Conquered Shores comedian e-book collection launching in October, alongside the Black Panther 2: Wakanda Forever film.
“In a way, it’s more of a Dark Knight Returns for Namor, it’s set in the future but for Namor who is long-lived, it almost doesn’t matter. In a world where thanks to a pre-attack gone wrong, the polar ice caps have melted, and the seas have risen, and most land masses have been swallowed up by the ocean. Humanity is dying out and the Atlanteans are doing great because they’ve got everything, and it’s an older but no less vital Namor going on an adventure and a quest to potentially save the human race and the human side of his heritage, possibly at the risk of the loyalties of the Atlantean side his background. It’s a fun story that uses a lot of those classic Marvel connections, but it’s also super clean so that if you’ve just encountered Namor for the first time on the silver screen in the Wakanda Forever movie, you can come into it pretty cold and just understand who the character is, particularly in this context.”
Dark Knight Returns, by Frank Miller and Klaus Janson, famously confirmed an a lot older Batman returning to the function in a grimmer, darker universe, and stays an iconic comedian e-book. But that is Namor The Sub-Mariner: Conquered Shores.

As to Namor’s look in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,
“I can’t say much about it but he’s a big part of that that film and people in the same way that all of a sudden people know who Groot is, everybody’s going to know who Namor is and have some understanding of him and hopefully have some interest in in him as a character. We’re putting this project to capture some of that interest and if you were intrigued by that guy that you saw in that movie, here’s a whole stand-alone, complete beginning and middle-end story about him, that tries to drill down to the essence of who and what he is and and thematically what he’s about.”
