User blog comment:20thCentFopp/A Hymn To Democracy: Fantastic Four vs. Sub-Mariner/@comment-1458758-20131206170159

My major issue is, that while M(G)P has certainly done his part in dispelling the inaccuracies of the ideas presented, these inaccuracies were likely the basis for this story.

While yes many people are infatuated with the idea of monarchy, it is what many 20th and 21st century Americans seem to associate with Britain as much as their own Democratic superiority to the rest of the world. The fact that Namor has gone and developed beyond just some womanizing king of barely a kingdom into Atlantis' greatest hero and a character who honestly manages to amuse and intrigue me in the majority of his appearances (AVX not withstanding) greatly impresses me.

So yeah, except perhaps some of the more outdated "Freedom Lovin', Apple Pie Eatin', American can-do" being the basis behind this issue, It does seem to be a solid story and what came of it, Namor, the Invaders, the Defenders, all the stories that followed are well worth it.
