A century into the future, not much land remains on Earth. A combination of a worsening climate and a devastating war with the Kree has left the plant’s surface mostly inhospitable, with an ever-dwindling population of air-breathers and a profound lack of super heroes to protect them. Enter Namor, the Sub-Mariner, who is no longer King of Atlantis but ruler of the entire world! He may only have few friends left — but does Jim Hammond, the original 1940s Human Torch, yet live? Could Hammond hold the key to the salvation of Earth’s human refugees? King Namor seeks to find out. Accompanied by Luke Cage, the Sub-Mariner sets off across what little devastated surface of Earth remains, following traces of his oldest adversary-turned-fellow Invader — and looking for answers to save his adopted subjects! Collecting NAMOR THE SUB-MARINER: CONQUERED SHORES #1-5. 112 PGS. Rated Teen +

There’s no mariner like the Sub-Mariner — as you’re about to see! First, our undersea hero must take on the bloodthirsty Tiger Shark, but the truly epic confrontation begins when the man called Destiny returns! His “Helmet of the Ancients” is revealed to be the powerful Serpent Crown, and its evil influence threatens the lives of Namor and everyone he loves! The drama ratchets up another notch when the alien Stalker robs Namor of his ability to fly and breathe underwater. Stranded on land, the Avenging Son of Atlantis becomes Public Enemy No. 1 — and even Doctor Doom is aiming for the target on his back! Also featuring a tooth-rattling fight against the Thing — and the touching return of a love from Namor’s past! Collecting SUB-MARINER (1968) #4-27. 512 PGS. Rated Ages 9 +

Prepare yourself for one of the most epic eras in the history of Namor, the Sub-Mariner! It’s a string of Marvel classics that have defined the Atlantean’s life forevermore. There are team-ups, gladiator battles, the return of Attuma and Prince Byrrah and the founding of the Titans Three (A.K.A. the Defenders to be). But the heart of the drama is Prince Namor’s and Lady Dorma’s wedding and the scheming Lemurian Llyra’s plans to destroy it all! In the aftermath, Namor is on a rampage, and in his pursuit of vengeance, he learns that his father – the long-thought-dead Captain Leonard McKenzie – is still alive! If that’s not enough, Namor, Doctor Doom and M.O.D.O.K. battle each other for the Cosmic Cube! Collecting SUB-MARINER (1968) #28-49, DAREDEVIL (1964) #77 and material from KA-ZAR (1970) #1. 512 PGS. Rated Ages 9 +
