I grabbed up three copies of this when I saw it but when I actually sat down to read it I was a little bit disappointed. <br /> <br />As Will Battle pointed out, the JLA attack scene is an obvious swipe from the Throne of Atlantis cover by Ivan Reis. The pose of Aquaman and Mera shown first is also very obviously a swipe from that valentine card by Dick Giordano. The rest of the art is very static and...well...dull. <br /><br />Don't get me wrong. I love how this is the first time Arthur and Mera show Atlantis off to the JLA, and how they're all about to simply hang out when Black Manta & Killer Shark show up. But then the bad guys get away! Boo, hiss. The bad guys don't get away in Batman's and Superman's books, do they?? (I guess I need to find that out....that's my homework assignment for the weekend, I'll get back to you....)<br /><br />Shame on you Rob for cutting my favorite part, the scene with Aquaman and Topo. :-) <br /><br />I Russellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03712278452970289276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35995922.post-69945377506508647832013-06-25T15:24:07.535-04:002013-06-25T15:24:07.535-04:00This is great; I like the art, the attention given...This is great; I like the art, the attention given to Aquaman's supporting characters, the homey situation of the JLA sitting down to a meal in Atlantis, all of it.
