Aquaman #14 Discussion/Spoilers

[Brave Sir Robbin]

Set Up Issue.

That is how I see it. I thought it was too much set up. I would go for two issues of set up rather than it all crammed into one with almost no action. It was OK but I have come to expect so much, it was a little bit of a let down.

I read this issue and kinda got lost.

Anyone reading this book pretty closely, can you please explain what kind of timeline he's running on? I thought this book continued Brightest Day, but now I don't know. Didn't this Mera reveal she's from Xebel and her family still tried to kill Aquaman, which also involved Jackson Aqualad, and Black Manta cutting off Aquaman's hand again and all that? I feel like this book just continues all of that.

But on the other hand, we have mention that Garth is alive(blah), and Orm doesn't know who Black Manta is(a lie obviously)...Or at least we're led to believe he might not know, which is weird considering Black Manta has plagued Atlantis for years.

I guess I just don't know where this book sits anymore. I understand history tweaks, but if this current book has so much of his Brightest Day story intact, where's the cut off? I swear the first issue picks up with Arthur and Mera trying to rekindle their relationship after he returned from the dead and learned of her actual origin and purpose.

Again, lost. I can't move forward in a book unless I know what came before it. I just can't care about what's going on right now unless I know the history.

I'm guessing his history has been completely rewritten, including Brightest Day.

for a set up issue I thought it was good Im looking forward to the throne of Atlantis

I am quite new to the Aquaman mythos so excuse my ignorance but who is Blackjack?

Pirate villain of Aquaman.

I was hoping he'd be the third villain johns was talking about. Everyone wanted Scavenger.

With the character he can be brought back through mystical means or something Johns already has in place: Black Lantern.

I like the reveal of the Trench at the end and how the identity of the person (it's Ocean Master ) who freed them isn't shown.
