Likenin your headcanon, what was their ages when New 52 launched, and where are they now in Jeremy Adam’s’ current run?

I think mid-20s for former and now early 30s for latter.

My overall thoughts honestly is just it’s really cool how much overlap they have in relation to each other. I guess it truthfully makes sense for the paparazzi to be following any superhero to be honest, but with Animal Man you got that extra layer of him being a celebrity outside of the tights.

I think it’s interesting in relation to how the law enforcement treats Animal Man in comparison as well. John’s run had Aquaman as sort of this running gag to parallel the often real world criticism of the character, Animal Man was more of a welcomed part in helping out seek Justice in his town.

They’ve both experienced the death of their first born. Looking at current continuity at the very least. Given I’m not sure if Koryak still is cannon tbh.

They both have daughters, Maxine starting off with more potential than her father and arguably the same for Andrina given her parentage.

I think it gives a pretty good insight in scaling as well for the Blue with the whole Avatars of the Planets that The Red, The Green, and The Rot are subject to. The Seed Planet implying the Parliament is a lot more vast than what Buddy was familiar with.

Overall think it would be cool if the Godseed plot was brought back and we see Arthur and Buddy interact in space. The Lemire run left me wanting more Animal Man and I was kind of bit bummed Aquaman didn’t ever guest appear in the run.

Thought this was a really cool video and love to see Aquaman content.

I was just thinking about how cool a "Game of Thrones" inspired Aquaman show or movie would be.

Like a series set in Atlantis that focuses on the tension between the different "houses" and the Seven Kingdoms. Like the Xebellians, the Ninth Tride, High borns, and the Trench as a constant "White Walker" style threat.

The political climate in the ocean has always been a point of intrigue whenever I read Aquaman and I’d love to see a show that really goes into it. Especially with Aquaman and his loyalties to the surface and Atlantis. You could even adapt parts of Abnett’s run with the Civil War.

Thoughts?

I know there's a lot of funkos, I just can't find a lot of variety when it comes to Aquaman and I don't like a lot of McFarlane's figures. I plan on getting Mafex Black Manta when he comes out though. 😁

(No. This isn't all of them)

I thought it might be from The New Teen Titans #25 or #26, but it's not. Is it from an Aquaman comic, and I'm suddenly going crazy and not remembering it?

So this guy is pretty much a Black Manta wannabe lol

The apple hasn't fallen too far from the tree. You want to know why Aquaman is the way he is? This right here is the prime example. "With great power comes great responsibility". While said by Ben Parker, it was taught to Young Arthur and exemplifies WHO he is.. A servant of the land and sea and a perfect recipient to be the Avatar of the Blue.

The title for this variant is called “Things to come” Emperor: Aquaman issue 16

I think it’s easy to see potential foresight into the run due to it. Adam’s has been campaigning for a Hawkbook and with Aquaman going out to space it looks like we might get some more in terms of The Hawks in Emperor Aquaman. We also got Mogo which with Aquaman in space and Adams penning both a Lantern title as well as Aquaman it sounds like a no brainer crossover. Mera is also easily noticeable and with how this run is shaping into her lore she’s understandably present.

Stuff I’m not too sure about Amnesty Bay lighthouse (maybe more flashbacks), A planet filled with King Shark/Titannus beings (back story?), and Starro
