Namor #12

The sixth and final chapter of "In Deep" arrives with a genuinely striking cover by Lee Weeks — Namor, bare-chested and standing waist-deep in a lily-pad-strewn pool, draws a golden-armored blonde woman close in an intimate embrace, their faces almost touching against a lush, stone-framed waterfall backdrop. The tenderness of the image makes a compelling case for this arc's emotional stakes, suggesting the Sub-Mariner's story is as much about connection as conflict. Writers Andi Watson and Bill Jemas, with interior art from Joe Bennett and Paul Azaceta, bring their six-part saga to its conclusion in this 2004 Marvel series.
