From the first issue of a recent Namor mini-series, written by Jason Aaron, we find Namor serving out a voluntary prison sentence to atone for his sins. One day, a gang of Atlantean thugs break IN to the prison and attempt to take out the exiled king. Unfortunately for them, Namor goes full Imperious Rex on their asses, though he gets knocked out in the encounter. Upon waking up in the prison infirmary, who should Namor find waiting for him but the Aquatic Avenger himself, Stingray!!! The good doctor is the bearer of bad news, alerting Namor to the fact that seven pretenders to the throne of Atlantis that he may want to do something about.
The conversation continues on the fourth page in the sequence and we see some of the aftermath of the Atlantean violence. I love the net with all the sea life poking out including, but not limited to: people, dolphins, lots of fish, and even a sea lion! The real attraction on this page for me is that last panel. Namor is looking thoughtful while Stingray stands with his back to the camera, face shrouded in darkness as he removes his mask.
