Aquaman Respect

[Hellstormer]

Squidface is Orin, so why wouldn't you count him? The new guy's not Orin.

I know he's Orin I'm just saying that the hand is no longer on Aquaman, Orin still has it but Aquaman doesn't.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Orin's still Aquaman as far as I'm concerned. Amnesiac Aquaman but Aquaman nonetheless. The new guy's just borrowing the name for the time being.

I'm pretty sure we'll find out who Aquaman really is and the whole story behind it and I'm almost 100% sure that Orin will be involved with it all somehow. This may be One Year Later, but it's pretty certain that not all the mysteries will be solved in 52.

 

[Darthphere]

I want my Aquaman.

 

[Hellstormer]

I bet Orin used his real hand to clone the new guy with his magic one, but as to how he became Squidface......

 

[Anubis]

Or maybe Orin is dead or missing or something, and that squid face guy grew out of Aquaman's severed hand. How he would have gotten the water bearer hand is beyond me though.

 

[Tropico]

Pretty cool for a water based hero to rush into a burning building, face his weakness as it is.

A cool and BADASS use of the Waterbearer hand right there. I would never have thought I would say this, but: I miss the darn thing!!!

Yeah, because that whole talking to fishes thing...it's so VERY lame. Right, RIGHT?!

Is this comic late?

 

[SuGarRush]

Man I miss the real Aquaman...

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Is this comic late?

It seems that way, but I keep wondering if I've just been spoiled by 52 and Exiles.

What's really killing Aquaman is the fact that every writer who comes on board undoes everything the previous writer did instead of building on it. As a result, Aquaman is basically treading water, not really going anywhere.

 

[Dr. Fate]

Man I miss the real Aquaman...

When you say the real Aquaman, you mean Orin, former husband of Mera, etc, right?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Who else would be the real Aquaman?

I agree to an extent. Sub Diego was a good idea, but the fact that Pfeiffer basically ignored the water hand and mythological ties Veitch created was a misstep. Arcudi's developments with Geist and the patent on Aquaman's DNA was a good setup, but Arcudi never got to follow up on it and he also all but forgot about the water hand (he had at least a few cool uses of it though, unlike Pfeiffer). David developed Tempest really well, but then almost all of the writers for the next volume ignored Tempest entirely. There're a lot of instances of good elements being introduced and then ignored for Aquaman.

 

[Hellstormer]

How come the new guy never goes to Sub Diego or even talks about it and whatever happen to Geist?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

The new guy doesn't go to Sub Diego because the new guy doesn't care about Sub Diego. Unlike the real Aquaman, he has no vested interest in it, so why would he go there? He's also kind of caught up in the Atlantis refugees plot at the moment. Maybe Busiek will take him to Sub Diego eventually, but it doesn't seem like a priority at the moment. The new guy's still figuring out whether he even wants to live up to the legacy of Aquaman and stuff right now.

 

[Gogo Bananas]

What really pisses me off is that Aquaman can EASILY be written with a more traditional superhero slant and he gets all this fantasy crap piled on and it's well known it doesn't catch on with the general audience.

 

[Hellstormer]

The best Aquaman issues I ever read (IMO) are Aquaman 16-20 2004 'nuff said

 

[rnewbz]

DC needs to release Aquaman into TPB all I've been able to find was the waterbear storyline. Are they going to continue making the rest of the series on TPB. I hope so, It was my first comic expericnece with Aquaman and I have fallen in love with the character.
