Reception
Reviewing Namor: Conquered Shores, Nicole Drum of ComicBook.com wrote: "Namor: Conquered Shores reads like the start of an incredible story and is easily one of the best Namor stories so far in a long history. By honoring the character's history and roots, Cantwell and Ferry are bringing this beloved character to life in a manner that is accessible and thoughtful all in the furtherance of a story possessing real questions about the human condition, reflection, and compassion."[8] Sergio Pereira of Comic Book Resources described Namor: Conquered Shores as "a much better version" of Kevin Reynolds' film Waterworld (1995), explaining that the post-apocalyptic setting present in the series is better developed than the one seen in the film.[9]
