By namtab29@comcast.net (rob!) Blackest Night continues, and I initially was going to skip writing about this issue because, after reading it, I saw how little Aqua-content there is. Zombie Aquaman doesn't appear at all, and Mera for only two pages. and that's it for Mera and The Atom, as they disappear into one of the Blac...

By namtab29@comcast.net (rob!) Aquaman, Mera, and Aqualad return to Atlantis to see the fighting right there on the streets of Atlantis. Aquaman orders everyone to stop fighting and to go back to their homes. As if that wasn't enough, a minor earthquake begins to hit!

By namtab29@comcast.net (rob!) I have to say, I loved this bit--The Atom using his powers to drag The Flash and Mera across phone lines with him! While my feelings about this whole storyline haven't changed, this was a good old-fashioned, Crazy Superhero Comics moment.

By namtab29@comcast.net (rob!) Comics Weekend "Come the Revolution" by Steve Skeates and Jim Aparo. Let's just start with the first page, since you really can't beat a shot of Aquaman and Mera by Jim Aparo: Meanwhile, Aquaman and Mera find Aqualad, fighting a giant monster!

By namtab29@comcast.net (rob!) This beauty--the second half of the Aquaman/Mera set--was waiting for me when I stopped in for my weekly visit at All Things Fun. So I like I did with the Mera bust, I took ol' Arthur here down to the nearby lake--on another beautifully breezy, sunny day--and snapped some shots:

By namtab29@comcast.net (rob!) So I took Mera down to the lake down the street--on a beautifully breezy, sunny day--and snapped some shots: Its a beautiful piece, well designed by Terry Dodson and well produced (of course) by DC Direct. I can't wait to get the matching Aquaman one--they're going to make great bookends fo...

By namtab29@comcast.net (rob!) Comics Weekend "Blackest Night" by Geoff Johns, Ivan Reis, Oclair Albert, and Joe Prado. After getting the assistance of some "Purple Lanters", Green Lantern, Flash, and the Atom make their way to JLA HQ, as well, where Mera tells them the bad news about Aquaman and Aqualad:

By namtab29@comcast.net (rob!) Well, much to my surprise, not only did we collect enough shells for Arthur and Mera, we also got enough to buy the upcoming Ocean Master action figure, as well as an Aquaman t-shirt Ed had already ordered on Rob's behalf, and we had some money left! I suggested we tip Ed for all the help he had g...

By namtab29@comcast.net (rob!) Speaking of, this week also sees the return of DC's long-running Adventure Comics title, which was of course Aquaman's home for many years. The book is currently featuring Superboy as the lead and the Legion as the back-up, but man would I love to see Classic Aquaman (along with Mera!) back...

By namtab29@comcast.net (rob!) Comics Weekend The Super Friends versus "The Spacemen Who Stole Atlantis!" As Superman does his thing, Aquaman forms a plan to free him and his friends: any story that ends with a Ramona Fradon-drawn Aquaman and Mera is a darn good story. The end!

By namtab29@comcast.net (rob!) Comics Weekend A (nearly) solo Mera adventure in this issue of Aquaman! We then flashback to Aquaman, Mera, Aqualad, and Arthur Jr. caught in the middle of an undersea whirlpool. The force of it is so strong it separates Mera from the rest of them, and she is then grabbed two men aiming to kidna...
