Namor makes his graceful(ish) exit from the team this issue. It's been a strange few issues of his being a member. I don't feel like much happened. There was the Secret Wars 2 stuff, the weird Kang arc, and his introduction. I don't even think he was in a couple of the issues. This quick wrap-up to his story really feels like it might have been a larger plot that had to be hurriedly finished. It's a pity, as Namor added to the team a bit of a foil for Hercules, whose disdain for the Wasp, regardless of chain of command, is going to get him in trouble soon. Namor at least recognized the Wasp's ability as a leader, and was able to keep a lid on the Prince of Power.
So the Avengers help Namor and Alpha Flight rescue Marinna, who, now monstrously transformed, swims off, and the Sub-Mariner after her.
There's a couple of annuals coming up next, a favourite crossover story with the West Coast team. And then we start what I think is one of the best superhero stories I've ever read. I've very excited, and a bit trepidatious that it won't live up to my memories. Guess we'll see soon!
To be continued.
