Aquaman Appreciation!

[BlackClaw]

Specifically intended to subvert something for which Arthur has been ridiculed for decades. God, I love EVERYONE involved in making this movie! Arthur's days as an object of ridicule are about to come to a swift and violent end!

Amen! Aquaman is about to finish what Wonder Woman started and permanently set the DCEU on the right course.

First look at the Sea Dragon ridden by the people of Xebel!



"The idea was to turn on its head the idea of Aquaman riding a seahorse, take something for which he was mocked and turn it into something terrifying and impressive," says Producer Peter Safran

Damn, Storm got an upgrade!

Looks like Kelly Sue DeConnick is taking over Aquaman with Robson Rocha and the first arc will deal with Atlanna. Unfortunately no release window was confirmed.

I was hoping that most of the generic New 52-era artists had been filtered out of DC's stable...? Oh well.

KSD is a cool choice. Heard as well she's focusing a lot on Mera, while keeping Arthur an undersea Robin Hood/Cowboy type.

Arthur will be waking up on a mysterious deserted island populated by “sea gods” who have been thrown out or otherwise forgotten by the world that once worshipped them.
That sounds good to me. I will be looking forward to this.

More Mera means I'm 100% on board.

I think KSD is an interesting choice for the book. I'm curious to see how her run unfolds.

I'm guessing an arc about Aquaman re-discovering himself is meant to tie-in to the movie and as a "jumping on point" for new readers.

Same. KSD is a fine writer. Never been blown away by anything of hers but I'm hopeful sine Aquaman has been one of the luckier DC properties for creative teams over the last few years. Not counting the Bunn run lol.

I could do without Arthur re-discovering himself for the umpteenth time but I'm happy to see Atlanna again. Definitely movie synergy at play.

RIP Arthur Curry.

Yup! This book is about to become a stealth Mera lead book. First he loses his crown now this.

I wonder if they bring back Orm too. I remember Atlanna telling Arthur not to tell Orm (that she is still alive), because she wants to do it herself. That could be a tense family reunion.

I mean, I love Mera getting the spotlight she's due, but it's inevitable Aquaman is going to become king again.

Now that they're bringing Atlanna back, I'm curious to see if they'll do more with her presence this time.

And Mera will suddenly become a horrible person.

Excited. Absolutely loved Abnett's run, might be my favourite, but I feel like he's said what he wanted to say on the character. Now lets see what KSD has to say!
