Namor comes back an X-Man


Good news, everybody! Namor is coming back in his own series! Yay! And it will be closely tied to the X-Men and their battle against underwater vampires...wait, what? Marvel announced the new Namor: The First Mutant #1, and the description is just plain stupid if you ask me.

First off, I don't care that Namor helped out the X-Men in Dark X-Men, Namor is not an X-Man. Technically, he isn't the first mutant either, but I guess calling the book Namor: A Really Old Mutant #1 doesn't have that catchy ring to it. Secondly, what happened to :The Sub-Mariner? And third, since when do the X-Men fight vampires? (oh, right, since Twilight ruined everything)

Bad form, Joe Q. This could have been cool. At least we know it will be cancelled after 6-12 issues anyway.

How do you solve problem like the Rulk?

Attention True Believers! This is a call to action. As may already know, the Marvel Universe is under siege by a horrible blight known as the Red Hulk, or 'Rulk.' This monument to stupidity has destroyed any goodwill that Greg Pak created within the Hulk titles after the fantastic Planet Hulk and World War Hulk. Incredible Hulk #600 came and went, and we are none the wiser as to who the Red abomination to comic-dom is. And now, in an effrontery to common sense and good taste, the Rulk family is being expanded with the edition of the Red She-Hulk. (wait for face twitching to subside...)

We, the offended comic buying fans, need to do something to bring this horrendous nightmare to an end. This is an open call to all who are put off by the ridiuclousness of the Rulk, and to those of you who have subsequently dropped the title, to post in the comments of this very blog entry your feelings, protests, or detailed descriptions of solutions to the 'Rulk Problem.' Have fun with it. Maybe Jeph Loeb or Joe Quesada himself will wake up and smell the gamma rays and give us back the old Green Goliath! Let your voice be heard!
If the response to this is good enough, I'll repost the best ideas later. Make 'em good!
