How soon before they bring up the "you never told him?" (whatever it was that WW was alluding to) that Mera was hiding from the BN: WW mini. You just know that sequence wasn't an accident or just Rucka's whimsy.
I know that most of the BN tie-ins had some editorial input, but it wouldn't be the first time a side mention got dropped after the writer who wrote it was gone.
What am I saying? It's potential for angst and disharmony, of course it'll come back.
Oh, dammit. Now I've got a plot seed for some sort of metaphysical "closure" or something regarding this concept: Arthur will continue summoning dead sea animals until he comes to turns (ETA: terms) terms with being resurrected, and Arthur, Jr. not.
Aaron "The Mad Whitaker" Bourque; I just wanted a tasteless joke! I didn't expect an actual plausible explanation for what's going on with the guy!
Well, in the panel where the orca (sorry, I live in Seattle, it's the law to call 'em that here) attacks him, it almost looked like his arm had been torn off, so I felt I was on familiar ground... ;)
"2) Aw, man, why do the creators love to fuck with the married couples? Stop it, just stop it!"
How are they fucking with Aquaman and Mera here? From what I've read of the character, this is probably the most blissful period they've had as a couple since they were introduced.
I don't miss her being insane--though she did make an awesome Red Lantern--I miss her kicking ass. Now that Arthur's back, she seems stuck as being written only as his wife, not as an awesome person in her own right.
I dunno, I'd be more afraid of a giant zombie whale coming after me (One who probably vomits zombie versions of everything it had eaten in the last few days) than the usual standard not-dead-one. However, it's a LAW! Aquaman can't be cool! He must be lame!
What, a happy Aquaman who is both king and hero and beloved by all? One with a FULL and happy family that is not at all either dead, undead or dead undead?
I like Mera's body language and facial expression in that first scan. It looks like she's thinking "Oh boy, here we go again. I have a thousand other things I could be doing right now."
Look on the bright side. Aquaman tore that thing apart in the water he's in right now. So zombie bits/particles are going through his lungs as he talks to Mera.
Interesting timing to both bring Aquaman back, and to make him like this, now. Reminds me of how I thought it was a weird coincidence that the collapse in FINAL CRISIS coincided with the economic collapse in real life.
Now I get it! DC's BEHIND IT ALL! THE MOST EVIL PUBLICITY CAMPAIGN EVER!
Oh no, you remind me of the time my college lab making a dolphin specimen. D: The smell pervaded the whole lab section, three stories in total and it stayed there for like, at least a whole week!!! And the next year, they got a dead whale body and they left it rot in a cement cell outside the campus to collect the bones. But we still need to walk past that area to field research for botany class.....
.... where is Garth? .... and his wife and kid? And wasn't there another Aquaman running around... at least 2, one from Final Crisis who was from another world and another who filled in after Infinite Crisis?
Garth despite all the time spent setting him up to be leader of the Titans and Atlantis didn't make it through Blackest Night. His wife Dolphin(?) and their child were not among the resurected during Brightest Day. And the Final Crisis Aqauman was quickly retconned into being from another Earth.
One scene I really liked in this issue was J'onn's. We find out the dog from last issue survived, and it looks like he's wiping the trauma out of the poor dog's head and putting him with a nice family. :)
So has Atrocitus popped up yet? Shouldn't he be sending her flowers? Cards? Those clown things you squeeze when you're mad? "Dish The Fish and go with the MAN!" He could stand under her window and shout romantic things to her (With the aid of Dex-Starr, master of kitty rage and a self-proclaimed master of romance!)
Atrocitus: "Um..er.." Dex-Starr: "MEOW MEOW!" Atrocitus: "YOU HAVE A BEAUTIFUL CHAIR!" Dex-Starr: "MEOW!" Atrocitus: "ER. HAIR!"
