SPOILERS: On Why Aquaman Was Absent in Justice League War

Justice League: War has already been released (a tad early too) and people are loving it. I for one love it but there seems to be a little beef with to the roster change for the League. I mean come on, Aquaman is and will always be a founding member so why is he absent from this animated flick?

 There's actually a specific reason for the absence and that it also ties into whatever's coming next for DC's animated movie. Here's the description from Newsarama...

"After the devastation to Earth due to the attack by the forces of Apokolips, a shot of the ocean is shown. In the water lay swathes of dead fish and other sealife – and then waves start from the middle of the water. A vessel rises, and with what sure seems to be the helmet of Orm, Ocean Master (Aquaman’s brother). In his arms lie a dead old man. Ocean Master says, “The Surface Dwellers have killed our king. This is an act of war. And they will pay.”"

Ocean Master carrying the body of what appears to be the elderly king of Atlanti? Waitaminute...

Are we really going full Throne of Atlantis here? That'd be awesome. I liked that storyline written by Geoff Johns.

Aquaman # 25 Spoilers

One of the top 10 consistently entertaining books from DC Comics' New 52 initiative has got to be Aquaman by Geoff Johns. It's made the guy cool and relevant and more importantly, erased the whole notion of the superhero as a laughingstock. Issue # 25 is Johns' last run on the book and while this spoiler is a bit old, it did let slip a couple of things.

So basically what happens is Aquaman finds the Dead King's scepter which he uses to control the creatures called The Trench. He leads them to Atlantis where he rescues Mera from prison where she got thrown six months ago. The ensuing chaos gets thick when Arthur and the Dead King find each other. Aquaman gets the upper hand and the Dead King tries to sink Atlantis but Arthur stops him.

The fight goes to a volcano where the Dead King's scepter melts and the icy king melts due to the extreme heat.

Aquaman returns to throne and together with Mera (that's the short of it) and though this chapter ends we get a peek into whats coming next for the King of the Seven Seas and it involves Ocean Master.

Apparently, he's taken refuge in the house of that family he rescued back in the Villain's Month special...

So the next crisis for the Geoff Johns' Justice League would be "Rise of the Seven Seas" after "Throne of Atlantis".

10 Thoughts on Justice League # 15

DC Comics has released parts 1 and 2 of the crossover arc "Throne of Atlantis" which pits The Justice League against Atlantis with Aquaman caught in the middle. Here's a look at the first part which is Justice League # 15 written by Geoff Johns with art by Ivan Reis. 

Also Jim Lee departs from the book that he started but he did leave a nice variant cover...

Check out my thoughts on this book after the cut. 

Aquaman # 14 - Ocean Master Reminds Arthur Why Atlantis Should Be Respected

In as much as I liked Aquaman, I'm a bit bored with this month's issue featuring the semi- appearance of Arthur's brother Ocean Master. 

Oh and this issue also happens to be the prelude to the Aquaman/ Justice League crossover entitled "Throne of Atlantis". 

The Other Justice League moments from Issue 14

Here are the other noteworthy moments/panels/pages from Justice League # 14 by Johns and Tony S. Daniel.

Superman and Wonder Woman's first date:

It's cute that Clark decides to bring Diana to the Smallville Diner. It's also nice to know that even though they are considered as 'gods' by some, they still like to have pancakes. 

Another Great Moment for Aquaman in Justice League # 14

Leave it to Aquaman to catch the Cheetah in such a cool fashion in Justice League # 14.

The book is written by Geoff Johns and features art by Tony S. Daniel...

In this new issue, the Justice League tries to capture Barbara Minerva aka The Cheetah and they manage to do so with some serious badassery courtesy of Aquaman...

Yeah, that's Aquaman summoning all the flesh eating piranhas he can muster and holding Cheetah as bait.

It's clever bits like this that make me want to stay on the title even without Jim Lee. This single page alone indicates that Arthur is not one to be trifled with especially as we officially begin the next JL arc which crosses over with Aquaman and is entitled "Throne of Atlantis".
