The end.
I liked how Arthur was trying his best to solve this peacefully, while everyone else just kept screwing up

oh god. Mera is such a fucking cunt

thanks, guy

>>85113286
It ain't easy being Aquaman

>>85113233
>tfw have the new Inhumans something something storytime open in another thread, and people are asking if Medusa is the most incompetent queen in the MCU

Mera's pretty great.

>>85113136
>fighting Atlantians underwater
How retarded do you have to be to think this is a good idea?

>>85113299
Honestly, while she and everyone but Arthur got played pretty hard, I think she did the best thing she could have under the circumstances.

Her being in some cell at a different facility from Arthur wouldn't help solve this problem.

>>85113052

I like sarcastic Arthur.

>>85113163
Excuse you bitch
How many kids have you murdered again? Oh that's right

>>85113257
>Aquaman and Mera are effortlessly bullet proof
>Wonder Woman needs a shield or bracelets to deflects bullets

>>85113286
damn son

>>85113074

If it makes you feel better Mera, about half of America wants to do that at any one time too.

>>85113299
she did nothing wrong besides breaking him out like right when they might have agreed to let him go

>>85113085
>>85113099

Is that Aquagirl?

>>85113286

This is good shit. I'll have to buy the trade when it comes out.

>>85114694
Yeah its Tula

Black manta is gonna kill her and the whole NEMO retards, or will take their resources at the very least.

I can't see him working as a underling of anyone, even in forever evil he was side-by-side with fucking lex luthor, sinestro and black adam like if it was nothing.

>>85113052
Really wish he didn't let go of the bit and later had a tank with a turbot in his cell.

>>85114835
This, is definitively shaping out to be a great Aquaman run.

>>85113034
I wish the variants were a bit more dynamic, because I love the overall style of them.

>>85113299
She's always been hotheaded. Of course, it doesn't help that everyone else is being so trigger happy as well.

>>85116609
He's going to subvert it from within. Making Manta in someway a counterpart to Aquaman as a leader would be a great place to take the character.

>>85113175
I hope the Fisher King isn't Orm, I'll be upset.

>>85117463
Well back during the ice king arc there was a statue that looked like The Fisherman along side Trench Xebel and Atlantis statues so maybe it's a new take on him

>>85113052
>bottom panel
Artist forgot about the handcuffs.

>>85113099
Really don't like Tula's new costume.

In Arthurian legend theFisher King, or the WoundedKing, is the last in a long line charged with keeping the Holy Grail. Versions of his story vary widely, but he is always wounded in the legs or groin and incapable of moving on his own.

>>85113074

So Mera, you would say that you find this whole situation to be... outrageous?

>>85117651
I doubt it would actually be him if that's the angle being presented. Probably somebody inspired to use his moniker.

>>85117586
No??

>>85117586
I think he just overestimated the slack

>>85113286
The other Atlanteans didn't really fuck up. Murk's crew had shit timing, but they *had* to do something. Probably would've worked better if they waited until Arthur/Mera arranged for them to work together.

>>85118475
They should have surrendered. Tula fucked up telling them to withdraw instead.

>>85118475
Probably should've arranged a joint op.

>>85118475
The chief was right about Mera playing the royalty card. In modern politics, that doesn't usually have much weight, especially with Americans.

Yes.

>>85113151
>Atlanteans win
>Americans cry that it's an act of war
>Literally every Atlantean points out the hippocrisy
>Americans don't listen
How I forsee the rest of this issue

>>85118664
That's a strong point of this comic, the US isn't being evil or unreasonable, from the information available to them, those are justifiable actions. And I always disliked how the underwater monarchy ravaged by constant civil war wielding pointy laser sticks and trying to punch their way out of any problem had this air of superiority against "primitive" surface dwellers.

>>85113017
Why does every American in this book act like a complete and utter fucking retard? I really want to like the book and do for the most part but every time any American is on the page they're just complete fucking idiots.

>>85118779
>>85118929
nice to see these posts back to back

>>85118664
The problem being is that they just arrested a foreign head of state with zero evidence. This is coming immediately after Atlantis' embassy was attacked by a presumably American citizen and known international criminal who received a pardon from the US government not that long ago. Any justification the US is using applies equally well, if not better, to the US itself.

>>85113074
Mera is really just so hot, I can't understand why Arthur has not make her pregnant yet...

>>85113286
Thanks OP

>>85113233
Mera nominated for best queen, she is the loving, beautiful, superpowerful partner every king needs.

>>85113085
wow what the fuck is Tula wearing

>>85113286

seems like a pain to be the king

>>85120288

One murdered baby is enough.

>>85118929
They are justifiably scared of Atlanteans after they wrecked every major coastal US city on a whim.

>>85122480

Makes me wish I'd saved that, "I don't always kill children, but when I do, they're Aquaman's" edit.

>>85117651
I don't think the character's origins will be inspired by the myths but just in case: aren't Atlantis and Camelot related in the DCU's magic system? Something about Camelot being mostly populated by Atlantean refugees, and Homo Magis originating from Camelot? Did I dream that bit of lore?

>>85114287
And half population of the world too

>>85113233
Learn Medusa, this is one True Queen

>>85113064
Aquabro is a bro.

>>85124409
Hellyeah

>>85113175
>1872
It's Captain Nemo.
Nemo founded Nemo.

20 000 leagues was published in 1870.

>>85124695
I sure hope not. That seems way too obvious.

>>85113286
>Arthur, I tried to make peace but that guy won't let me.
>Yeah? Him and what army?
>The US Army.
>Ohhhh that's a good army.

>>85124776
It makes sense.
"Nemo" was always a code name.
And the agenda of "NEMO" is the same as Nemo's.

They'll have some bit as when the original Nemo died, he passed on the title to the subordinate.
And now it's expanded into a whole organization of Nemos. NEMO.

Then Black Manta will kill the leadership, take control, and then say "If anyone asks who did this, tell them Nemo did".

>>85124776
>>85124695
Or someone used his name as inspiration.

>>85113286
America had no intentions of trying to cooperate. Hence why they never let Arthur even speak to the President and kept talking down to him the whole time.

>>85124899
The "real" Nemo was alive in 1872, though.

>>85113286
Arthur's life is suffering.

>>85124940
It's been a while since I've read The Mysterious Island, so I may have the timeline messed up, but I'm pretty sure they were on Lincoln Island for less than five years, and they landed on it during the Civil War. Nemo dies at the end of it, so he shouldn't be alive in 1872 unless I've completely underestimated how long the book lasts.

>>85125418
>they landed on it during the Civil War.
You must have messed up the timeline since 20 Thousand Leagues begins in 1866.

>>85125602
I'm not talking about that, I'm talking about The Mysterious Island, the book where Captain Nemo dies. The cast of that book are prisoners in the South that steal a hot air balloon to escape and end up stranded on an island. I'm almost sure that they only go through two or three winters.

>>85125957
Yeah, but I'm saying since the Civil War ended in 1865 and Captain Nemo is at his peak in 1866, after the War, then the castaways must have been on the Island for many years.
Especially since Nemo is evidently described as an old man in Mysterious Island.

>>85113074
>Muh surface-dwelling, air-breathing, uncivilized primitives
That's racist.

Where is my Sark?

>>85114926
>What is Diplomatic Immunity?

Something that doesn't exist during wartime?

>>85118664
A head of state is a head of state, whether they got there by election or birthright. Foreign heads of state get treated with a certain level of respect, even the ones we don't like.

>>85113163

When did DC turn into Marvel?

I'm really, really liking this book. It's a fun read, has an interesting plot mixed with international politics and Aquaman and Mera are well characterized and likable. Dan Abnett is doing a great job IMO.

I've read every aquaman rebirth issue in here so far, and I have to say, I fucking love it

this is the first contact I've had with good aquaman stuff, but can I be an aquafag now? I like it here

>>85132977

>>85132977
Only if you admit Mera into your heart as best waifu.

>>85113299
Yeah, and it seemed he was right about to make a deal with them to let him out and find who had done it. Then she had to interrupt it and probably caused more aggression while doing it. I wonder how well it will improve Atlantis's case that they didn't hurt the ships when those dehydrated soldiers regain consciousness

>>85126164
I've been thinking about it, and I came to the realization that it was a retcon or sliding timescale thing. The castaways recognize Nemo because they've read 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea before the events of the book. If it didn't happen until 1866 that couldn't be possible.

>>85113034
well variant sucks ass, with the unimaginative anatomy

faces look generic almost girlish for the emperor of the depths

he's too close to the surface for me to care

Actual cover says: fish scale tits strongest 1 there is

>>85113112

did this JUST happen?

bodies nowhere near this state of not tasty monkey chunks inside shark or crab bellies

bodies nowhere near this neutral bouyancy

this is a book for kids, right?

The end

>>85113233
When are they actually going to get married? Arthur better lock that shit down.

I get the feeling that maybe some higher ups in the US government are going to turn out to be a part of NEMO as well. Would explain why they're acting so hostile to someone they know wouldn't attack the US for no reason.

>>85134359
Perfect

>>85120288
its a birth control called black manta

>>85113052
Aquaman always comes off so salty in these comics.

>>85133843
This makes me think that this will make the black manta that hates aqua man just out of spite or because he is insane. I mean, aqua man killed his father and he had dedicated so much to killing aqua man that he has nothing else in his life anymore, if aqua man killed black manta he could go on living and have a meaning and purpose but black manta really couldn't.

So this is all Obama's fault so he can throw the election to Hillary Clinton.

When will we get to see Mera punch him through a window?
