These are decidedly NOT fill-ins—they’re by the new creative team—but they sure feel like them. Issue #44 is a retelling of a classic work of literature titled, “The Rime of the Ancient Sub-Mariner.” It also re-tells Namor’s first meeting with Johnny Storm, in a weird way…
Then issue #45 is an out-of-continuity done-in-one featuring some Inhumans and explaining why Triton left them to join up with Sub-Mariner several issues ago.
Both stories connect to old Namor lore.
