Welcome to a Namor Advent Calendar! Have a bit of Namor cheer for each of the 24 days till Christmas! This year I’ll be highlighting Namor Team-Ups!
DAY 19: THE THING
To be honest, there really isn’t much love lost between Namor and Ben Grimm, the Ever Lovin’ Blue Eyed Thing, so finding panels, much less comics, where they team-up.
Marvel Two-in-One 28 is one of those rare comics. It starts out with Namor actually being nice, instead of a misunderstanding or slug fest.
Namor is attacked by a group of Piranha Men-Fish (don’t ask) and when Thing, pushed by Alicia, goes to help Namor, both are captured (don’t ask) who force the pair into gladiator games (don’t ask).
Namor is unusually nice in this issue, trying to avoid the slugfest, and suggesting plans to save Alicia.
