We all knew Wonder woman would kill Mera ( i mean you have to be pretty dense if u didnt get that part from all the covers and Bedard interviews). I actually got the othe cover, because, an i agree with everyone else here, it was a " oh, no you didn't" moment when i saw that cover. Too far, Mr. johns, too far.<br /><br />still getting Emperor, also. I just love Aquaman too much to pass up on this (even if i KNOW Geoff Johns, and the entire flashpoint story as a whole, will favor Diana over Arthur in this war).Jacksonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35995922.post-49187818449137512042011-06-04T14:22:52.950-04:002011-06-04T14:22:52.950-04:00My book has totally different cover art relating t...My book has totally different cover art relating to the main story in the the book not the upcoming showdown between Aquaman and WW.

I just don't want to play in this sandbox. <br /><br />Geoff Johns is very hit-or-miss with me, and with this it's another miss (his Avengers, later JSA, etc) instead of a hit (his Flash, his STRIPES, his Hawkman).Russellnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35995922.post-32280955678990811352011-06-04T10:36:31.503-04:002011-06-04T10:36:31.503-04:00Guys, it's a dystopian alternate reality; it&#...Guys, it's a dystopian alternate reality; it's an excuse for the storytellers to play against type. Comics, TV shows, they do this all the time. I don't think we have to worry that Johns is going to make Aquaman a bloodthirsty tyrant in his ongoing series because that's how he's presented here.Ryannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35995922.post-45211873492581146632011-06-04T09:47:22.315-04:002011-06-04T09:47:22.315-04:00Must...say...something...positive...

This and the overall super bloodthirsty portrayal of both Arthur & Diana is making me have serious doubts about Geoff's upcoming Aquaman series, does he really think THIS is what readers want? Plus Diana holding Mera's head on the front cover! This is just wrong on so many levels. :(JDnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35995922.post-20852272415207260952011-06-04T08:59:04.173-04:002011-06-04T08:59:04.173-04:00I'm with Frank and Joseph above...when this co...I'm with Frank and Joseph above...when this cover image first appeared I was momentarily taken aback, like in "WTF...?!?" shock. <br /><br />This is just....offensive.

Nothing too different, just updated. Then again, let Ivan Reis redesign it, since he did the Brightest Day costumes.Ryannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35995922.post-38144220328723390532011-06-04T01:16:34.689-04:002011-06-04T01:16:34.689-04:00Yeah, I'm not a gorehound in the least; the co...Yeah, I'm not a gorehound in the least; the cover is just too much, by a head. On the other hand, I'm a sucker for these alternate Earth, post-apocalyptic tales wherein you see the ruins of famous landmarks. Tough choice.<br /><br />Question about armor: I get the helmet, shoulder pieces, etc., but why is it you never see anything around the neck? Seems like that would be a major target for a slashing stroke and definitely an area you'd want to protect. Just ask Mera, there.Joseph Brian Scottnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35995922.post-652978395426145912011-06-04T00:54:14.653-04:002011-06-04T00:54:14.653-04:00How rude!

I don't need to read "What If... The DC Heroes Were All Rob Liefeld Characters?" The only way I could get off to Diana holding Mera's severed head is if she also wore some guy's testicles as earrings, 'Nam style. If you're going to set out to be offensive, it should be an all or nothing proposition.<br /><br />Word Verification: Brain. I have one, and it's telling my hands to not even bother picking up that ten foot pole to whack this comic with.
