Marvel today announced a new ongoing series starring "the first mutant," Namor the Sub-Mariner this August. Stuart Moore is writing, with art by Ariel Olivetti.

With Namor having joined the X-Men after first being pulled into Norman Osborn's dark version of the team, his new ongoing series will have close ties to the newest team book in the X-stable. The full press release is below:

Namor Must Save The X-Men From The Curse Of The Mutants

Vampires are hunting mutants and the only hope for the X-Men may be the Sub-Mariner, as he boldly launches into a new ongoing series with the extra-sized Namor #1! In this “Curse of The Mutants” tie-in spinning out of the hotly-anticipated X-Men #1, fan favorite creators Stuart Moore and Ariel Olivetti set the world’s first mutant on his most dangerous mission ever! Namor may be able to end the vampire threat, but is he willing to sacrifice Atlantis? And what can stop the threat of…the Atlantean vampires? With covers by superstars Jae Lee and Joe Quesada, Namor #1 marks the beginning on a new chapter in Namor’s life…or his death.

This August, dive into an all new ongoing series with Namor—and the X-Men will never be the same!
