In fact, Mera and Dolphin look pretty great too! :)<BR/><BR/>I like how Perez placed Dolphin with Arthur and Mera. I realize this was done after the Peter David Aquaman series (so it wasn't a case of amazing precognition), but it was still a nice touch.<BR/><BR/><BR/>The Irredeemable Shag<BR/>http://firestormfan.com<BR/>http://onceuponageek.comThe Irredeemable Shaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01620741461584124844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35995922.post-47484635349993641432009-03-04T20:59:00.000-05:002009-03-04T20:59:00.000-05:00Tula may have died... but check out that butt!

Tula's death carried weight in the small space it was given, and the effect on Aqualad was powerful, but I feel it was utterly unnecessary. Taken in context with the later state of the Aqua-family, it was wasteful. His supporting cast has been whittled away slowly in the last twenty years.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35995922.post-1225857029278706122009-03-04T14:46:00.000-05:002009-03-04T14:46:00.000-05:00Benton Grey, That's supposed to be the point of de...Benton Grey, <BR/>That's supposed to be the point of death in fiction. If they only killed off the stupid characters, it wouldn't make it "good." <BR/><BR/>I believe Paul Levitz called this "The Karate Kid Syndrome." Sometimes you *have* to give up one of the good ones. I think the deaths of Tula and Barry were very, VERY well-handled. (In fact, I am not reading current DC comics because Barry has come back. Until he or Dan Didio are gone, I read only non-DCU DC books)<BR/><BR/>mmmMan, compared to this Crisis, the recent Final Crisis sucked eggs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35995922.post-65323259704175800262009-03-04T11:42:00.000-05:002009-03-04T11:42:00.000-05:00Poor, poor Tula.
