Okay, I know this issues been out a few weeks, but I just got my monthly comics this week, so bear with me.
The big head scratcher; Why does Meltzer portray the new Aquaman as the original, Arthur Curry/Orm, JLA founder, partner to Aqualad, husband to Mera Aquaman we all know and love? Didn't Aquaman I just die as the "Dweller of the Depths"? Not that I expect him to stay dead anymore than I expect Steve Rogers to be permanently pushing up daisies. Did someone at DC make a HUGE continuity mistake? If so, the whole issue has no point at all. Or is DC planning on somehow revealing this guy was the real deal all along?
This issue had some nice character bits, although I think Meltzer forces things a bit much. Telling us constantly that these guys love one another and are really good and have camaraderie makes you feel like you might have a sugar overdose after awhile. Show us. Don't tell us.
All in all, not much happened in his 12 issues. 20 years from now when the big decompressed comic movement is talked about, this will be a prime example.
