Aquaman Appreciation Thread!!!

[liwanag]

this is just amazing!

and is that water splashing around them?

[Last Son of Krypton]

[Psycwave]

That actually looks pretty amazing. I’m getting excited.

As long a it isn't another "evil pretender takes the throne" run I'm very interested in seeing where KSD goes.

Man, Aquaman sure seems to lose it all a lot .

But bearded? Shirtless? I hope we don't have more Momoa synergy incoming .

No tats thankfully.
The comic book does NOT have to mirror the movie version!
Arthur is blonde. It's why he got the arse from Atlantis in the first place!

This brings more to mind the PAD Aquaman to me than it does the movie version. That and the PAD Aquaman was also at a very low and dark place after losing his infant son and Mera having a breakdown and leaving.

I mean, Momoa's Aquaman has always evoked PAD's to a degree, but I feel like this image is more hearkening towards Momoa.

Granted, that look and green pants definitely does look a lot like PAD's Aquaman. He's just missing the hook hand.

Let's not mention that last part . . . who knows if that might remind DC they haven't brought that back yet.

My first knowledge of Aquaman was the Super Friends cartoon in the early 70s. I've been a fan ever since.

I wonder who else Kelly plans to bring into her run.

Sidebar: Do you guys think any of Aquaman's most recent and newer villains from any of the previous runs have had real staying power? We've had the reappearance of Scavenger. But then from Johns-Abnett we've gotten the likes of: The Trench, Dead Water, Rath, Atlan, Aquamarines, etc. but do you think any of them have the staying power of say, Manta? Are there any who you feel should be brought back?

I've been thinking about Batman a lot and how his rogues gallery is so iconic and vast and there are so many villains to play with. I feel Arthur's rogues could use a boost.

I'm taking bets on how long it will be before he has a bunch of tattoos. I got less than 2 years.

I think Aquaman suffers with what a lot of characters do in that once a writer is gone the next ones ignore what they created. There are a ton of characters created over the years that just get forgotten. I mean look at things like Kordax, Noble, Lagoon Boy, and all the lost colonies from the 90's series. It seems like the only things that ever really get touched on Manta, Ocean Master, and whatever evil king is sitting on the throne at the time.

Writers need to dig deep into past runs and reuse some of the toys just sitting on the shelf.

I think the Trench will probably have staying power, especially since they're going to be in the movie.

[Flash Gordon]

Pretty much what I feared.
