Saga of the Sub-Mariner #11

Penultimate issue of Marvel's twelve-part limited series, The Saga of the Sub-Mariner arrives in 1989 with a cover teasing "The Coming of Namorita!" — and Rich Buckler and Bob McLeod deliver a dynamic underwater brawl to match, with Namor lunging sword-in-hand through a swirl of bubbles while a blonde woman brandishing a firearm fights at his side against a press of armored, green-skinned opponents. With Roy Thomas and Dann Thomas steering the story and Rich Buckler's pencils firing on all cylinders, this is a satisfying chapter in one of the most thorough retellings of the Sub-Mariner's history Marvel had attempted up to that point.
