Namor: The First Mutant #5

The cover of Namor: The First Mutant #5 captures the Sub-Mariner mid-rescue, sweeping a blonde woman into his arms for a passionate kiss while a warship erupts in flames and gunfire behind them — a striking contrast of romance and destruction rendered with painterly polish by cover artist Mike Mayhew. Stuart Moore's "Faces" arc continues here, with interior art from Ariel Olivetti and Brian Ching bringing the story to life. It's a confident, cinematic issue that leans into Namor's dual nature as both a lover and a warrior of the seas.
