ShieldFish, ShieldMariner, OceanShield, Steve x Namor is a fond favorite. I definitely enjoy the ship, it's not in my top 8 ships for Namor but its def in top 10 but I actually like it more as Steve/Namor/Jim and this is literally my favorite dynamic for them, lmao

It's endorsed by Marvel Comics Writer Chip Zdarsky. In fact Invaders (2019) is very Steve x Namor heavy!

They became allies and friends during WWll when they fought side by side in The Invaders. It's a friendship that's lasted decades and there's a real deep bond between them, war brothers, and it really is an interesting character exploration as well when you factor in Namor's stance about America and how it handles itself vs Steve trying to believe in the Dream. I don't like how current writers handle the Steve and Namor dynamic in comics because it always ends up being really preachy towards Namor and paints Steve as the right one when it comes to conflict in their politics, like Namor is a King, he has his own laws, but its often swept aside so Steve can be right. More of my thoughts here.

But I will say they do have some of the most heartfelt moments in Namor's history, including the fact that they save each other all the time and even in death Namor vows to watch over Steve's tomb in Captain America: Fallen Son #5

one of my all time favorite moments is here! another great comic here. I know I'm just spamming random panels but they are really good. and I know there's so much more content for them, I gotta take more time than a quick reply, but there's also fan art of them too around, I think you can find alot if you browse my blog, its not a big ship but its been around for a long time!

I don't have a ship reading guide for them like I do for Namor x Jim Hammond, but I do think I could make one if people wanted it, currently working on other things but I can add it to my list.

I would def rec people read The Invaders comics but there's lots of stuff in different comics between them too in Steve's comics, in Avengers comics, etc. like the time Steve confronted Namor's mom, the time Steve made Namor wear an ugly suit, lmao.

Captain America: Sentinel of Liberty #3

I have a copy of a fan comic I bought somewhere in my hard drive, its basically a Steve x Namor comic with the serial numbers filed off, creators made it during the 2019 Invaders time bc of how shippy that series was for them. I will see if I can find it later. lol.

I fear there may be a pattern with going on with namor lowkey

Big day for NamorSteve enjoyers.

Chip Zdarsky really said #shieldfish rights
