T’Challa and Namor form an unlikely pairing in the new Black Panther/Namor: Doomed five-issue series by Ethan S. Parker and Griffin Sheridan.
The series spins out of Avengers: Armageddon, as T’Challa and Namor embark on a journey to Hell after both Wakanda and Atlantis are attacked by demons to confront the only person that they both dislike more than each other: Doctor Doom.
“Truly, we feel like the most fortunate writers on Earth to get to tell stories with any of the iconic heroes from the limitless sandbox of the Marvel Universe, let alone icons as monumental as T’Challa, Namor, and Victor Von Doom,” Parker said. “Black Panther is one of the coolest and most inspiring figures in all of fiction, and the Sub-Mariner’s iconic rivalry with him as one of the founding members of Marvel dating back to 1939 is the most hilarious and compelling dynamic we could hope to put our own personal spin on. We can’t wait to show readers the unimaginable dangers that lie ahead in this bold new era.”
“T’Challa, Namor, and Doom are among the richest characters comics have to offer,” Sheridan added. “Not only are all three of them iconic in their own right, but the interpersonal relationships they have with each other seem to be an endless wellspring for enthralling stories. These are colossal characters, so we’re throwing a story with colossal stakes at them – a story that finds Black Panther, Sub-Mariner, and Doctor Doom all in unique, new roles within the Marvel Universe. For those reasons and many others, working on Doomed has been a real privilege.”
