Aquaman sent Mera to make a treaty with King Brion aka Geo-Force (of the Outsiders in the main universe). He also sent some fake assassins for Mera to beat to make it look good.

This was just so he could have Brion scanned so they could capture him and make use of his earth-control powers.

Diana and Arthur are basically playing a Royal Superhuman game of Whose is Bigger.

They were to be married, which worried all of Europe to think of the two united.

Turns out they didn't have to worry about them uniting their power. Because Arthur had Hippolyta assassinated on what was supposed to be their wedding day.

At some point in time Britain was conquered and all non-metas were put in concentration camps. Themyscira was devastated.

Brion tried to ally with what he saw as the lesser of two evils, Aquaman, only to be double-crossed by Mera in Orm's scheme and turned into a battery for their Geo-Pulse weapon.

New Themyscira(probably in occupied Britain) was targeted for destruction by Atlantis with the Geo-Pulse, sinking most of Western Europe but not the pillar on which the actual city of New Themyscira sits, which is shielded against the weapon. By Tara Markov.

Why did Aquaman have Hippolyta assassinated? Is that clarified in the issue?

No, it's not. It kinda feels like we're only getting bits and pieces of the story that the writer intends to fill in later. But both sides look pretty bad.

Not to mention, at some point something terrible happened to Mera that still honks Arthur off, and seems to have some bearing on why he sank Europe.

Well, the way it always seem to work in the comics, Atlantis is basically populated by assholes, and unlike his current origin, where Arthur lived on the land most of his life, it looks like Atlantis was able to keep him around, despite having the blond hair that signals doom to their people, and he thus, became a major asshole.

I find it hilarious that Johns spent so long fucking around and rehabbing Aquaman in Brightest Day, only for this to become the first proper series the character has held for a while. Imagine some kid picking this up and thinking this is the way the character's meant to be.

I am. And I'm also worrying they'd dig it. But this isn't the reboot Aquaman, this is just the leadup to INFINITE ZERO HOURS REBORN in September.

But yes, whatever effort they've gone to in the past few years, don't matter. Sorry if you liked SECRET ORIGIN.

However, they are, apparently, mostly leaving the Legion alone. Which they'd better.

You mean the Superman story Secret Origin, right? I'd hardly worry about that, since the general theme of the DCU restart seems to be 'Everything Johns sticks, everyone else can go fuck themselves'.

So because Barry Didn't become the Flash this happens....I know for want of the nail and all that but I want to see point A to b for this type of thing.

Barry's not the cause here, I believe the Reverse Flash has been messing around with time here and there all over the place, to prevent a lot of heroes coming into being. For example, Barry not becoming the Flash would have nothing to do with Bruce and Martha Wayne being the victims of the mugging, whilst Thomas survived, sicne it happened years before BArry's accident.

However it will be interesting to see if we DO get to see all these threads. I'm a little curious how Professor Zoom could have kept Abin Sur from ever coming to Earth until after Nekron rises and the Red Lantern Corps are created.

If this was a Tangent style standalone series, I'd be more invested in it, but since everyone is OOC, and I know the majority of things will be undone (I doubt Aquaman will remain a neo-Nazi in the DCU) I just can't bring myself to care.

THE TRUE EVENT OF THE CENTURY: HATEBALLROCKET

Just wait till Fantagraphics does their massive relaunch in October, HATEBALLROCKET. A few highlights:

Jimmy Corrigan wakes up to find out he has a dad, but no MOM. He develops an unhealthy fixation on a chubby actress playing Wonder Woman. At the Olympics.

Maggie is now married to Izzy, and Hopey is not only straight but a religious fundamentalist who visits them every day to give them tracts about why they're going to hell. Then Speedy comes back from the dead, cholo.

Oh, and Stinky is still alive, and has just been incubating under that Seattle beach all this time. Into what? Unspeakable.

Dan Pussey still sucks, but now is the foremost artist of America's favorite genre, pirate comics.

Roberta Gregory will be rebooting WENDY WHITEBREAD. It will be slightly different.

This is all completely true. You should buy lots of Fantagraphics publications before it all changes.

From: [personal profile] sethgray
Yeah. I think the implication is that Diana killed Mera in retaliation for having Hippolyta assassinated. Not that I actually know for sure as I'm not buying this, but from what I've seen around places it makes sense to me. There was that alt cover of Diana holding Mera's head.
