Ok next up is Sub-Mariner 19

"Support your Local Sting-Ray"

Writer Roy Thomas, Artist Marie Severin, Inker Johnny Craig

Namor wakes up on a beach not knowing how he got there but surrounded by people at first he is cool until some cops show up and it get's tense he decided he needs to leave but some clowns in a beach tower throw rescue rings at him trying to trap him. The Sub-Mariner gets pissed and knocks down the tower while the cops shoot at him. As he tries to leave he discovers he can't fly so he leaps into the ocean. When he get's there he finds out he can no long breathe. He does a flash back (I assume last issue) and remembers an alien did something to him and he is not sure what. As he swims away he runs into this character called Sting-ray who tries to stop him. Combat ensues and Sting-Ray knocks out Namor. When the Prince of Atlantis wakes he discover that Sting-Ray is Walter Newell someone he thought and ally. The government wants to experiment on Namor but Newell does his best to prevent it. When a clumsy worker spills water on the Atlantean he regains strength and goes wild. He fights his way out with Sting-Ray behind him and they fight around the water in New York. Sting-Ray while trying to get the Sub-Mariner damages and Namor swims over rips up a pipe coming into the water and props upthe weak spot. There vows Sting-Ray not to help the chase on Sub-Mariner and calls him friend, they part on good terms.

Overall I liked the book and I really didn't have any of my scratch the head thoughtd except wondering how strong the pipe was. I did forget to tell how triton was with warrior on the alien planet and thought he should look for the monarch but it was so small so I figure it did really matter. If you can get a copy of this book do so. If it really is how the book was written in the long run when I get all of the 239 or at least a good portion this title will be worth picking up.
