Aquaman Rebirth & #1

[informationgeek]

"Aquaman is one of the sort of big six of DC. He's not a Batman or Superman, but he's absolutely one of the first division heroes. And I've always liked him for that reason. And I like him for the same reason, I think, that I like a lot of cosmic characters, because he's not just a guy who puts on a costume — he's a guy from another world. He's a guy from Atlantis.

He's not wearing a superhero costume. He's wearing royal chain mail.

And he's not just a hero who saves people and does good deeds. He's got this responsibility. He rules Atlantis. He rules a whole nation. He controls the sea, which is two-thirds of the planet. He's the most global hero" - Dan Abnett

Writer: Dan Abnett

It’s an honor when it’s your turn to add to that, and part of what comes with that honor is the responsibility to protect and respect the decisions of the incredible writers that came before you.

"Vision's entire fifty year history - his multiple deaths, loves, and families - will impact this title; hell they’re the backbone of the title. Now, obviously, you don’t need to know any of that history to read this book. My job is to introduce those elements in an organic and interesting way, basically to make them a natural, easily-understood part of my narrative without boring you with exposition. Really, it should be like your own backbone: you don’t think about it too often, but you’re glad it’s there." -- Tom King

Some problems can't be solved by overpowering them.

[thanekos]

Their magnitude makes that an impossibility, unless you're as much as they are.

They have to be solved in a way that works around, instead of against, what they pose to whatever meets them.

The Flash found himself so stymied recently.
