Aquaman Vol. 1: The Drowning
Aquaman Vol. 1: The Drowning | Dan Abnett
6 posts | 6 read | 1 to read
WAVE OF DESTRUCTION Part of the most critically acclaimed, best-selling, all-new line of volume one graphic novels, DC Universe Rebirth! He is Arthur Curry-Aquaman. King of Atlantis. Member of the Justice League. World leader. Superhero. A bridge between the surface world and the world below. And to far too many humans, the dictator of a rogue state. But Arthur and his beloved fiance, Mera, are determined to prove to humankind that Atlantis can be a force for peace and justice. Yet even as Aquaman strives to improve his public image, dark forces rise from the depths to crush his hopes and dreams. A cabal of Atlantean terrorists have declared war on their king and the surface world alike. And the killer known as Black Manta will stop at nothing to settle his blood feud with the hero he hates above all else. Can Aquaman stop the tide of distrust and bloodshed? Or to save the world, will he sacrifice himself? Rising up from the blockbuster DC Universe Rebirth event comes AQUAMAN VOL. 1: THE DROWNING, a thrilling jumping-on point to the new adventures of the King of the Seven Seas, from writer Dan Abnett (TITANS HUNT, TITANS) and illustrated by Scot Eaton (BATMAN & ROBIN ETERNAL), Brad Walker (ACTION COMICS), Philippe Briones (NEW SUICIDE SQUAD) and more! Collects AQUAMAN: REBIRTH #1 and AQUAMAN #1-6.

queerbookreader @Riveted_Reader_Melissa @readordierachel @julesG He is dead to me now but the positive bit of this article is that Amber Heard is bookish!! She loves to read!! How exciting 5y
julesG @queerbookreader What I didn't like about the article, talking Heard down. The bit about The Goldfinch being pedestrian to the author of the article but probably the kind of books Heard reads. It does not matter what she reads, she reads. 5y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @julesG Funny, I thought of that story immediately too! 5y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @queerbookreader I was thinking he better be replacing those books! Destruction of private property!! Really, what if someone went and smashed his phone because he wasn‘t paying attention to them, same thing. (edited) 5y
AWahle I always thought he was a bit of a "bro" but this confirms it. Respect me, respect my books. 5y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @AWahle Yes! Respect other people‘s stuff. 5y
Owlizabeth A friend shared this with me yesterday and I almost passed out with sympathetic rage. 5y
Susannah Because he wanted attention? What a douche. 5y
Soubhiville @Susannah perfect description- total douche. I‘d fight him over this. 5y
Bookzombie Agree @Susannah What a douche! #thankyounext 5y

I will never understand DC‘s fetishization of the popular disdain for Aquaman. It seems like every modern story has to be about how cool and misunderstood he is, porting over our real world attitude towards the character in a way that makes no sense in universe, where he is a beautiful blonde royal with an epic love story who chills with Superman. It is nonsense.

Also, I really didn‘t like the art in this one.

I had no interest in Aquaman until they released the pictures of Jason Momoa playing him. Yes, please. #Superheroes #SizzlinSummerBooks

Aquaman as ruler. Politics being played on the world stage and in the shadows. I enjoyed it and look forward to reading future volumes. Love that they take on the perceptions of Aquaman as well by regular people.
