Matt Cherniss and Peter Johnson really made this limited series pay-off and leave you wanting more. (I can’t wait to buy the trade). At the start of the series we find Atlantis in ruins and what appears to be Namor dead on his throne. Tony Stark has come to Atlantis to make Namor answer for the terrorist acts of an Atlantean sleeper cell. Every friend Namor had on the surface world has turned their back on him and refused to aid him in his quest to stop the cell, which is being lead by his banished son. Namor has to make some hard decisions for himself and Atlantis in this issue. The most shocking thing in the whole issue is who finally does come to his aid. The writers really make you feel the burden of being a King. This is a definite read for fans of Namor and Marvel fans in general because some of Namors decisions will have a lasting affect on the Marvel universe.

Just finished reading this. This whole series shows how good writing can be when stories are contained in 6-12 issue story arcs. I had never liked Namor, and this story arc has basically made me a fan.
