Aside from it...That two-page spread is spectacular! Aside from its huge scope the marine life is rendered realistically and with lots of attention to detail. In the past, this was seldom the case as rather simple, cartoony images were used.<br /><br />I love the dichotomy of a spectacularly built, flame haired goddess in a skin-tight emerald catsuit doing something so mundane as pushing a grocery cart. The bag boys must love it when Mera goes shopping.<br /><br />Also, I like the return of Aquaman's empathy for the sea creatures. Much has been made of Aquaman not fitting into surface or Atlantean culture. Perhaps, it's with the fauna of the ocean where he truly is comfortable.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00807010682929912588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35995922.post-19054326103244114192013-03-04T09:37:48.156-05:002013-03-04T09:37:48.156-05:00I admittedly miss Reis/Prado, but Pelletier/Parson...I admittedly miss Reis/Prado, but Pelletier/Parsons did a decent job. They were especially great with underwater scenes.

I thought it felt very much like a "place holder." <br />And what's the meaning of the cover? I thought it meant Aquaman would be thrown in jail/prison, but nothing like this scene appeared at all in the story.Russellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03712278452970289276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35995922.post-33246223891246775662013-03-02T19:24:36.888-05:002013-03-02T19:24:36.888-05:00Struggling with the deadlines?

That being said, I am hearing that Pelletier is struggling with DC's strict deadlines so its probably not likely.<br /><br />Geoff's Sea Devils were unremarkable but I'm sure we will see them down the road... and as rob said, the mentions of the Fire Trolls & Deep Six were noticed & appreciated. <br /><br />Looking forward to next issue and -finally- seeing Aquaman actually in Atlantis with the start of the Dead King arc. I am told it will expand upon Tula's character in some significant ways...Joe Slabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17830460003862069026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35995922.post-41923060275017141902013-03-02T12:07:21.333-05:002013-03-02T12:07:21.333-05:00A great issue that really propelled the overarchin...A great issue that really propelled the overarching story forward. And lots of great bits: Aquaman addressing the creatures, Murk, and the return of both an old foe and possibly a new one. Way more than I was expecting from an epilogue.
