Ratings and reviews

Reading this story reminds us what good Namor writing is. The art is just breathtaking with vibrant colors symbolizing the past in contrast with the darkness of the future of Namor's life. The mixture of Atlantean cultures is phenominal and an all womens elite force that Namor looks up to is wild. Seeing Dorma is a balm for my soul. And young Attuma looks like that punk classmate who's a really cool guy to hang out with. There needs to be more world building for Marvel's Atlantis that doesn't include it being destroyed every five seconds event.

Hmmmmm i didn't like it
