While the Sub-Mariner scours the surface for answers, Tony Stark, Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., tries to prevent a seemingly inevitable war between Atlantis and the surface world…but even Iron Man can’t stop the government from unleashing their secret weapon on Namor–the Thunderbolts!

PREVIEW: SUB-MARINER #3

900 Americans are dead and S.H.I.E.L.D. is pointing the finger at Namor! In Sub-Mariner #3, Namor races against time to find the location of the rogue sleeper cell agents before they commit more heinous crimes in the name of Atlantis. But is he ready to battle Wolverine? Writers Matt Cherniss and Peter Johnson (Powerless) and up-and-coming artist Phil Briones (White Tiger) are making waves with the new limited series about Marvel's first mutant and his constant struggle against the "weaklings" of the surface world. Also, this action-packed issue features magnificent cover art by Young Guns Reloaded star Leinil Francis Yu (New Avengers).
After plowing through Iron Man and his armada of S.H.I.E.L.D. submarines, Namor searches for his old ally, Charles Xavier, only to find the Canadian berserker ready and waiting for a scrap at the gates of the X-Mansion! Meanwhile, sinister figures are lurking in the shadows; the rogue Atlanteans make plans to murder their "traitor king," but the vicious Venom might beat them to the punch if he develops a taste for seafood!
The conflict heats up in Sub-Mariner #3; will all of this tension lead to an inevitable war between Atlantis and America…and more importantly, will that war result in Namor's death? One thing is certain, the monarch of the seas won't go down without a fight – Imperius Rex!

Terrorists have attacked the American mid-west and the fingers point to…Atlantis? Namor the Sub-Mariner is lord of Atlantis, so is he the man behind these attacks or is it the actions of a sleeper cell within his own nation? Those questions and more will be answered this June in Marvel’s brand new Sub-Mariner #1 (of 6) limited series, written by Matt Cherniss & Peter Johnson (Powerless), with art by Phil Briones (White Tiger). This is Namor like you’ve never seen him before, fighting SHIELD—and Iron Man—to make sure those responsible pay in full!
Marvel urges retailers to check their order on Sub-Mariner #1 which not only features one of Marvel’s most enduring heroes, but also ties into the wildly popular Initiative storyline and comes directly out of Namor’s pivotal appearances in the mega-hit Civil War. Now Namor must defend himself from both those who seek his crown and those who seek to control him. It’s the world against Namor—and the world better watch out!
