Namor takes on Black Panther in new Marvel Rivals one-shot

The world of the Marvel Rivals video game expands in a new one-shot that pits two kings against one another in Marvel Rivals: Duel of Kings.

Marvel Rivals: Duel of Kings #1 by Paul Allor, Salvador Espin, Jethro Morales, Dee Cunliffe, and Joe Sabino sees Namor (with Jeff the Land Shark) make a play for Wakanda's vast resources. Obviously, King T'Challa isn't on board with the Sub-Mariner's efforts and will try to track him down and take him out before it's too late.

Marvel Rivals: Duel of Kings #1 features main cover art by Stephen Segovia and Rain Beredo, with series artist Espin providing a yet-to-be-revealed variant. Check out the main cover below and text solicit.

THIEF OF THE DEEP! Namor and Black Panther have a long history of bad blood between them, but when Namor shows up at the Galactic Empire of Wakanda with nefarious goals, there's no hope that diplomacy will win the day. The king of Atlantis has secretly brought Jeff the Land Shark along in hopes of stealing Wakanda's Chronovium! Will T'Challa and Shuri catch these fishy thieves red-handed?

Marvel Rivals: Duel of Kings #1 arrives at CaptCan Comics on April 1st, 2026. Pre-order the issue now to ensure you don't miss out!
