I posted this news over on my Countdown to Namor the First Mutant topic on the Namor forum, but figured this was probably a better place for it. The contribution made by Garcia will be added at the end of the comic book series and will chronicle the life of Namor through the eyes of Namora, a female version of the Atlantean hero, who has had a lifelong crush on him.
Some new information about the first issue! It appears there will be a back up feature in the book! Keith Garcia will be writing, I believe, stories retelling Namor's life, but from Namora's point of view! Here's the pertinent part of the article I found in the Brownsville Herald. So, we'll be getting a little extra for the extra price.
"They have never been a couple," Garcia said. "They did kiss once but that was it."
Garcia’s chronicle of Namor’s life will include tales of his regular switching from superhero to super-villain. According to Garcia, Namor is a temperamental character capable of conquering a country one day and changing his mind the next to fight evil.
This is the first I've heard of this. Has anyone else more info? Like the artist? And can I just say, I'd LOVE to see a Namora back-up as a regular part of Namor the First Mutant. Something where she has her own adventures or fills in the 'missing years' when she got married and went to Lemuria.
