One Perfect Moment: Jimmy Woo

[ficticons]

This is 2 pages from Agents of Atlas: Dark Reign #7. In the previous issue, Namora and Namor decide to get married.

But before going through with it*, Namora feels she needs to settle something with Jimmy. I like his response because it shows he understands something important: the difference between wanting and needing.





Aww shucks perhaps indeed, but this one action won Jimmy a little bit more of my respect. Having read through most of the series now (this issue was only the second one that I had ever read), that respect has been increased and a healthy amount of admiration added. Jimmy Woo is now easily one of my favourite Marvel characters.


* ETA: for various plot-related reasons, they don't actually get married...and seem rather unlikely to do so very soon in the future too, IMHO.

Namor marries himself with tits.

Yeah, that seems about right.

[akodo_rokku]

*Blonde* himself with tits.

[protogarrett]

And then he joins the X-Men and promptly leaves her behind.

[long_silence]

They decided not to marry in this arc, and I think this was set before Namor joined the X-men.

[geoffsebesta]

well put.

[nezchan]

Now if only we could get that ape guy to shut up, it'd be even better.

[akodo_rokku]

Aw be easy on Ken, he's just sad about his buddy leaving.

[uadlika]

Granted all that I know of Namor and Namora are from Marvel 1602, but aren't they related or something?

[akodo_rokku]

They're cousins, but not blood. Her dad was adopted into the royal family.

[glimmung]

The banjos are still playing in the background though.

And as Ken says in the previous issue, "...I guess they even got hillbillies under the sea." :P

[keeva]

is "an Atlantean consummation ceremony" as sexy as it sounds?

[falseaesop]

When Namor's involved? Yes.

[icon_uk]

Namor makes even the "Atlantean cleaning out the crud from the back of the shoe cupboard ceremony" sexy...

[yaseen101]

As long as he is in his undies....

:dreams magical dreams:

[selke]

Okay, now I need to look for these books. Very sweet and I like the art.

There haven't been many issues of the Agents of Atlas comic that haven't made me smile after I've finished reading them. The issue this scene comes from is in the TPB called Turf Wars - but it's also part of a short arc covered in two issues of Agents of Atlas: Dark Reign (#6 and #7, although there is a reference to something that happened in #3), if you want the single issues.

And I like the art too! ♥ It's something I noticed in particular reading through this issue and the one before it. The colouring is particularly nice, although good pencil and ink work does help that a lot. :D

Wow. When NAMOR pays you a compliment, you ARE somethin' else.

[rordulum]

Isn't this the same guy that Namor gave such a hard time to in The Order a couple of years back? He ended up respecting him at the end, I seem to recall.

Anyway, I just wait for the day when Reed is asked to give Sue away in an "Atlantean Consummation Ceremony". Heh.

[psychopathicus_rex]

It'd have to be under pretty drastic circumstances, given that they're, y'know, married with two kids, and as far as I know, Sue hasn't shown any romantic interest in Namor for quite a while.

I love Jimmy Woo

[jazzypom]

I wish he'd get more love in the Marvel U. He's hella fantastic. :D

I'ma need me a jimmy woo icon. Can anyone make me one? :D

Re: I love Jimmy Woo

[ficticons]

He is! :D

And ooh, just maybe. I probably should make some more AoA icons anyway...

Oooh *flails*

[jazzypom]

If you do make any more icons, call me. :D
