Moment of the week: the buildup to the last page of Sub-Mariner.
Wow. Easily my favorite book Marvel is publishing right now, and I've always thought Namor was the lamest character ever.
I'm curious as to what you didn't like about Namor before (apart from his old speedo costume). I've always thought of him as Aqua-man done right.
I think it boils down to me never seeing how an aquaman/namor character really fits in with a bunch of normal super-heroes. The "king of the seas" character either comes across as a dork out of water whose power is to boss around trout except they're standing in the middle of Manhattan, or you'd have to have a bunch of heroes in scuba gear fighting a shark-themed villain because Dr. Doom took a vacation that month.
Namor flying and being super-strong doesn't seem to have anything to do with being an aquatic king. Why would you evolve to have little ankle wings on the bottom of the ocean?
Also he needs a new beautician, because his current eyebrow plucking needs to calm way, way down.
Having said all that, I was shitting bricks when I got to the last page of The Depths #5. I don't even have a guess as to how the last issue is going to wrap up. I mean ... do they go to atlantis? Do they all die? What about the film reel?
Black bolt - Wilson...Oh, Wilson
*turns to see Fisk eating some woman*
Fisk - What? I eat when I'm upset.
Machine Man was rad as always in most of that too. I'm going to have to get the trade for this one for Zombie Deadpool and all the Aaron Stack kick-assery.

Namor's the original Marvel super-hero, and the first modern super-hero. Hell, he fought in WW2.
I think the super-strength is from being a humanoid thing living at under incredible pressures, and the flight is because I don't know, he's a mutant.
The whole memory erasing thing. I have no idea where the fuck Matt Fraction is taking this story, but I'm gonna be there every step of the way. Oh and Norman Osborn is a dick.
I thought it was kinda weird that it opens with a long, dull expository monologue about how Extremis and all his tools means he can access his brain like a harddrive and then immediately turn round and say "Only, not." and if wants to blank any of it, he has to blank all of it. But, okay, accepting he can't just remove specific parts of data from his thinkmeat and has to e-lobotomise himself, why not just get a telepath instead and do it that way? "Telepaths can't do harddrives" is a total none-answer.

My guess is that tony is
really placing some kind of virus in his head or something and he is expecting to be captured at some point and will jack with whatever tech Osborn tries to use on him.
I was pretty lukewarm on the previous Marvel Zombies books. Though I thought it was innovative to focus on the zombies as protagonists, it wasn't especially interesting. But using Machine Man and Jocasta as the stars of this one, and letting them pulp a ton of zombies in true splatterhouse horror fashion was a stroke of genius.
Even if you disliked the previous Marvel Zombie books, I have to recommend this comic to you. It's a wonderfully dark, funny book packed to the gills with mayhem and dusted off B-list heroes.
I loved the first Marvel Zombies, and the Army of Darkness crossover was indeed quite good. Really didn't care for what I read of the second series, though, and I'm not sure I'm sold on the third based on that scan. I do hear it's good, though, so maybe I'll check it out.

How was she alive? I didn't see her in any panels.
It was explained in an earlier issue that he'd been protecting her from the others, keeping her hidden in his home.

I will hopefully be getting it today or tomorrow. I'm really looking forward to it.

He hated it when Namor actually showed up in the comic.
