Review/plot:
All the water is sucked off of planet Earth by space aliens.

The Sub-Mariner is blamed. Namor responds by, umm, digging up a geyser that blasts him into space.

He meets the aliens...

...and it turns out they just want to borrow a little water for their crops, and the Earth will get the rest back via gravity when their planet passes the Earth.

Namor intends to let the aliens keep all the water...

...until he is reminded, at Namora's request, by Princess Fen, via telepathy, that the Atlanteans will also die without water.

I have never read a more awesome story in my life.
