NRAMA: Joe, last week, you said that there'd be more to talk about this week, in regards to Namor, specifically considering that image by Mike Turner.
Before we hit that - Namor is one character that's gone through a bit of a revitalization thanks to Civil War, perhaps making his hostile attitude toward the surface world understandable for most readers for the first times in a long time. In terms of the Civil War "Big Board" – was "revitalize Namor" even on it?
JQ: No, Namor had a question mark over his name. He was just one of many characters that we could elevate during Civil War, but we didn’t have a completely concrete plan for him yet. He was someone who we could possibly bring into the limelight, but it wasn’t a certainty. Namor had begun popping up more in more in the Marvel Universe, so the idea of doing something with him had been percolating slowly.
From the Illuminati to Civil War to Front Line to Black Panther, it just seemed like Namor was starting to reared his pointy eared head. The Atlantean sleeper cell was really one of the things that got us thinking more and more about Namor and his role within the Marvel Universe. Then one day we received a pitch and suddenly, it seemed like the time was right.
NRAMA: Given his role in Front Line, and this week's Civil War #6 - where is he, as a character in your view? As a character, what's it time for him to do?
JQ: Yeah, we’ve all been feeling this way about the Sub-Mariner for some time now. He’s a great character and he’s been out of the limelight for some time, so let’s see how much fans have missed him [laughs]
NRAMA: So - that image - you wanna talk about it some more? Got a creative team? A set-up? A reason why the surface world is on fire?
JQ: Nope, can’t tell you more than I have at this point, but news is forthcoming.
-----------
I hoped for more informations but it sounds very promising.
