There's room for more than one member of the family to take the stage in this issue. Four pages under the cut.


Ten-cent recap: Namor set up the treaty-meeting as an excuse to kill the other Atlanteans because of an oral tradition passed down in the royal family that indicated they were going to try to take over everything, and use Susan as a sacrifice.






I will love Sue's expression there for all my days.

(In observance of my icon) I shall call this incident... "When an Undersea Ruler was Laid Low By That Which He Cannot Have!"
Outrageous!

As someone who hates the idea of Sue/Namor - that was quite enjoyable. Brava, Hickman!

...This is one of the few times a comic feels like it was written by a member or members of s_d.

You can just see her weighing the value of just letting someone skewer him and getting it over with.

"The Adventure Where Susan Storm Became The Invisible Lantern!"

She is sooo...nnmf. You know, I could list off half a dozen DC heroines I find hot, but when it comes to Marvel, I can only list off the heroines I either don't care about at all or who transcend hot unto a place where my awe of their coolness destroys any sexual lust I may potentially feel for them.

Have to admit, did not see that coming.

if this is a political ploy of these ancient Atlanteans to divide and conquer their opposition, it's a good one.

And oh yeah, Doom is gonna love this turn of events.

I suspect the matter's been left open for now, she doesn't want to damage those nice marble floors.

It's magic. We don't have to explain it.

Wait, sorry. Wrong book.

As I said elsewhere, Hickman is one of the five writers who I truly believe understands the machinery comics as a story form and a world, as a writer and as a fan, as parts and as a whole, so your description of him writing as a member of SD is, in my opinion, quite a good one.

Doesn't totally make up for her just like standing there watching the king get killed, BUT, pretty good.

TBH it makes her standing there watching the king get killed look pretty sinister.

I would actually kind of prefer if it were that since a sinister, agenda-driven Sue Storm is way, WAY more interesting than a weak, helpless one.

I believe that is correct.

On one hand I want to roll my eyes with Sue.

On the other hand...dude's completely right in that one line.
