At times, Namor the Sub-Mariner has challenged even Apocalypse for title of “First Mutant.” So why is it that the King of Atlantis is *the* holdout from the X-Men’s mutant island nation of Krakoa?
In this Krakin’ Krakoa, the series where I dig into the most fascinating elements of the Jonathan Hickman written X-Men comics at Marvel, I explore why Namor’s refusing Professor X’s offer, his history with the X-Men (and Marvel Universe at large), and consider what it means for Professor X to be ready to involve Namor.
