“In a year when the public spotlight has cast its fickle beam along the dizzying and exciting world of superheroes, one such defender of truth and justice has broken away from the pack to become more than just a hero: he’s become a pop culture icon. Buzzscope sat down with the much-maligned and slowly emerging star for a face-to-face to get his thoughts on this new Atlantean awareness and the years of slow, simmering resentment.
BUZZ: You’re a founding member of the Justice League but have had an on-again, off-again relationship with them. In the early eighties, in fact, you disbanded the League and re-formed the team with a group of younger members. You also relocated the League to Detroit, Michigan. Why Detroit?
AQUAMAN: Well, one of the members, Hank Heywood, was based out of Detroit at the time and his fath—
BUZZ: Can you support co-founder Green Lantern’s claim that you moved it to Detroit out of personal motives, to be closer to the Great Lakes?

BUZZ: Confirm or deny that you relocated to a state surrounded by lakes for the sole possibility that you’d have more water-related cases?

AQUAMAN: I’m not depressed!
BUZZ: Is that why Mera left you for a seahorse? You can tell the Buzzscope readership.
Check out the rest of the interview to find out the truth about the Super Friends, the dirt on his love life and all the inside Hollywood dirt on the King of the Seven Seas.
The enemy never sleeps. Neither does the comics industry. Let's get some licks in.
