Jason Aaron returns to Marvel to turn Sub-Mariner soggy

ComicBook reports one of the worst social justice-advocating writers is returning to Marvel to script one of the first of their creations from the Golden Age, Prince Namor:

Jason Aaron and Namor are reuniting for a new Marvel series. Aaron may no longer be a Marvel-exclusive writer, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have more stories to tell in the universe. After taking Earth's Mightiest Heroes to the farthest reaches of the multiverse in Avengers, and expanding the God of Thunder's mythos in several Thor series, Aaron is taking on a different challenge with Namor the Sub-Mariner. Namor played a prominent role during Aaron's Avengers run, but this time the former King of Atlantis is getting the spotlight all to himself.

Marvel announced Namor, a new eight-issue miniseries by Jason Aaron, Paul Davidson, and Alex Lins. The publisher is promising some major changes by the time Namor concludes, stating, "The eight-issue epic will forever reshape the seas and bare the dark history of Atlantis and its fiercest, most infamous defender. Stay tuned for more information." The cover for the first issue by Alexander Lozano shows Namor in a torn, orange inmate costume with several probing devices plugged onto his stomach, chest, and arms, as well as bandages covering various parts of his body. You can also see the bruises on Namor's face. For those that remember, Namor was arrested for his crimes in Aaron's last Avengers comic, Avengers Assemble Omega #1.

Sounds like Aaron's decided to blame prince Namor for questionable writing of the past, not the writers themselves. Or, Aaron's exploiting past writing to justify any bad directions he's taking currently. If anything, all he's doing is running the gauntlet of making past storytelling better than his look bad. Back in the Silver/Bronze Age, if and when Namor engaged in mayhem, he usually refrained from killing innocent people, and did have a sense of honor when it came to the human world on the surface. If Aaron's made things worse in modern times, he's humiliated Namor along with past, better storylines from up to the turn of the century.

It's so sad we have to have a writer as awful as Aaron continue to tarnish the remnants of Marvel, and make a mockery of veteran artists and writers' hard work of the past. Let's hope nobody buys this horrible project that's coming about.
