This would also explain why in Blackest Night Mera told BL Aquaman that she "never wanted children".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35995922.post-1615193339233508612010-07-10T11:26:34.980-04:002010-07-10T11:26:34.980-04:00Loved the issue even though if like Tegan I'm ...Loved the issue even though if like Tegan I'm not sure I like specific developments...<br /><br />One line felt very out of place for me: Mera thinks her life with Arthur up until now has been a fairy tale ?!?<br /><br />Also, if Siren is either Hila or V'lana, wouldn't Arthur have recognized her?Joe Slabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17830460003862069026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35995922.post-54235377686596714912010-07-10T10:56:52.540-04:002010-07-10T10:56:52.540-04:00Enjoy, folks...

David--I agree, I ...Tegan--I bet you're right.<br /><br />David--I agree, I think this is a fun, very old school comic book-y plot hook.<br /><br />Dan--Yeah, any time we can get a solid new addition to Aquaman's Rogues Gallery, that's a net +.<br /><br />Josh--I like the idea of Aqualad being the son of Manta, but not by Mera. I really would've hated that. Plus...ick.<br /><br />Randy--Jeez, kinda dark for a Saturday morning!<br /><br />Joe--Like I said above, I think its a good hook. Clearly Mera loves Aquaman, so the whole "turning against my programming" thing can work if executed well. As long as Arthur and Mera are happily together by BD, that's all I care about!

I like them destined to be together but various wrenches keep getting thrown at them. This feels like a great wrench to me, and something that sort of (SORT OF) explains how big a vengeful witch she seemed to be in PAD's Aquaman run or after Arthur Jr. died. If she secretly betrayed her people to be with Aquaman and then it all went so poorly her freak outs are a little more justified in my brain.<br /><br />Also, what great villains Mera's people make. Great stuff.David J.
