It's been mentioned in solicits I know. Like the Nightwing ones that say "with Blackest Night imminent" and stuff like that.
And you know this how????? You have a link?
Dude...Im just asking where? I'd like to read it.......that is all. calm downSo you quote me again a month later interpreting what I said correctly?
I knew at the time because that actually makes sense. And since that post Johns has stated it to be so.
I didn't become a fan of this character with Peter David's work. I was a fan before then. But I think it's cool considering how many PD fans have *****ed about his characters and concepts being thrown out the window that Johns figured away to reintroduce them into the New 52. I enjoyed the twists and subversions to familiar tropes (Orin now being the name of Arthur's ancestor, Atlan now being his great great great great great great great great uncle, the different united kingdoms making up the nation of Atlantis etc.) I also think it's cool that now Arthur has to deal with making up for the ****** actions of his ancestor and redefining his lineage's legacy.
Eh, I don't see why he can't just have two names. He's half human and half Atlantean, so he has a human name and an Atlantean name. That would work just fine. that sort of thing isn't uncommon in mixed families.
As for Atlan, I figure a better way to fit him in would be to make him Arthur's father in a more metaphorical sense. As in, he's taken an invested interest in him and has subtly guided him along the path he's on in order to fulfill some ancient wizardly agenda of his.
Maybe have him be the source of Aquaman's telepathic powers. So not his biological father, but he created him in a sense.
I loved this issue. I hope Parker can keep the quality this top notch.
Actually I can see how it's very confusing. Especially due to an event of Forever Evil showing up in the end of the story. But it actually makes sense if the entirety of Trinity War and Forever Evil took place between scenes after Mera returns to Aquaman in the end but before the Orm scene. I hate fitting things between scenes, but that's how this one works.
So it goes:
Geoff Johns' final Aquaman arc
Trinity War
Forever Evil (including the Aquaman issue with Orm)
Final scene of Johns' final issue
In that way it chronologically makes sense.

It could also come across as confusing because technically the 2 issues of Aquaman 23 (I think it was 23) were Forever Evil tie-ins and read as if they took place somewhere around Aquaman's 6 month coma when they actually read after issue 25. Add that to the Orm scene in 25 feeling like it's taking place about the same time as the rest of the events o Johns' final arc, and I can easily see the confusion. Honestly, I think DC and Geoff Johns specifically did a crap job of laying out the two stories. The way it was laid out, it feels like Forever Evil should have fit in the 6 month gap, which of course doesn't make sense.
This is why I prefer a cohesive universe and not a "well, we'll figure out the timeline once everything is written" because there is always confusion. I'd rather they just remove Aquaman from Trinity War and Forever Evil and mention that he'd gone missing (like how Flash was missing from Throne of Atlantis to deal with Grodd). Have Forever Evil take place during Aquaman's 6 month coma, and then have him wake up and see the result of Forever Evil after dealing with the rest of Johns' final Aquaman arc. Then it reads linear and is easy to follow instead of this bouncing back and forth "WHERE DOES IT FIT?!!!" storytelling that Marvel and DC both do these days (particularly Marvel).
Mmmh thanks a lot dude. I may read those comics again with this in mind. Because frankly, that was confusing. I mean they just created the New 52 Universe to make thingsmoreaccessible, it yet already confusing ><Actually I can see how it's very confusing.

Agreed, they could have explained it this way, it would have made sense and have been cool.This is why I prefer a cohesive universe and not a "well, we'll figure out the timeline once everything is written" because there is always confusion.

Edit: This serie rocks, and has displayed such a big potential, I hope they will deliver...
