why does Jackson (in the comics) have blue eyes? I just realized both of his parents have brown eyes. I kinda want them to retcon them away, or at least make it a different color if it's supposed to be a magic thing; blue eyes don't really scream "otherworldly" to me.

Blue eyes often do act as fictional visual shorthand for being "otherworldly" or "ethereal", especially certain hues of blue. Jackson's blue eyes are rooted in his powers, which give off a similar color when used.

All roads lead to Xebel! Jackson Hyde's made some daring escapes in his time on the run, but there's no avoiding the reunions that his underwater motherland has in store for him. Both surprise family time and a long-awaited romantic interlude leave Jackson questioning his life on the surface. And with all the problems Jackson left behind in Atlantis, it's getting harder not to ask himself—is Xebel where he really belongs?

Superman has recovered from the devastating attack against him. After the life-changing events of issue #5, Jon Kent and his new ally Jay Nakamura are ready to strike back. They are on a collision course with the type of power that is used to swatting problems out of the way. But Superman is not so easily swatted.

Xebel formal wear? And Jackson making the rounds with other legacies.

Happy to see Jackson on the cover with Jon.

Aquamen is coming to DC in 2022

[Frontier]

Arthur and Jackson team-up book...?

Aquamen is coming to DC in 2022

looks like DC is starting to realize Jackson/Kaldur coulda/shoulda been their "Miles Morales" for some time now. I wonder if they intend to make this a ongoing/seasonal and doing the dual Aquaman thing indefinitely like Marvel's doing with Spider-Man, or if this is gonna be a passing of the torch type of deal after Jackson "Becomes" in his mini.

either way, I'm excited for whatever is coming. Aquaman's roll from the last decade seems to be going strong into the 2020s.

This bold right here. Them sleeping on both Jackson and Jaime as DC's Miles Morales is just ridiculous, so them potentially finally acting on at least Jackson is extremely sensible to see.

I was expecting they'd give him an ongoing solo book or maybe this is just an event where he takes over 100%? Guess we'll see.

[Factor]

Ideally, the Aquafamily could be able to support two books Aquaman Legacy (Jackson) and King Aquaman (Arthur), but since that's basically impossible, I'm perfectly fine with a team-up book between the 2.

looks like Jackson might link up with Manta's pirate crew for a sec.
