Four scans from Brightest Day #1.
Arthur and Mera attack a boat full of child slavers.




He calls up a shark to defend himself. The shark is also dead.
What I find more interesting is not that he's able to control dead aquatic animals, but that he seems to have lost the ability to call live ones.

Date: 2010-05-06 12:17 pm (UTC)But like I said, the true magnification of this, to me, is that he seems to have exchanged the ability to call dead aquatic animals for the ability to call live ones, which could be a problem. This has yet to be confirmed, but it's weird that he would just happen to call two dead animals right next to each other, otherwise.

And then put up with Atlantian News Sources criticising him for leading his troops into death, again.

Date: 2010-05-06 12:36 pm (UTC)On another note, Aquaman, still super fine.

Date: 2010-05-06 01:43 pm (UTC)Awful: Bullets bounce off Atlanteans. Super strength, good, invulnerability also is too much.
Headdesk: Concentric circles from Arthur's forehead. Vuu vuu vuu is so lame.
I'm trying to get a good look at Mera's feet, whether she still has flippers. Not too important, but I kind of like the idea that Merpeople have a look that's a little alien.
