The end.
I think the best thing about this ending is that Arthur totally saw it coming, but the reader couldn't do the same

Also, pic related.

>>85545522
>They'd gun us, two superpowered suspect terrorists who may be starting a war against them and are right in the middle of a jailbreak, down like animals?

I love Mera, but her self-righteousness is really getting to my nerves.

>>85546024
It's like she was a typical american action movie hero...

>>85545641
>Arthurrrrr, you have to be all right with me starting a war against the US and ruining everything you've worked for DON'T YOU WANT TO GET MARRIED ANYMORE?

Uhh...

Time for politics
Im gonna read the rest of next weeks releases after work tomorow but aquaman i want to take part in the storytime before i go to bed.

>>85545456
I like this cover costume damage needs to be more common

>>85545479
A nice varient to.

>>85545495
Ouch not even aquaman can stand up to that sort of firepower for long this is gonna be good

>>85545541
>>85545549
Im really loving arthurs commitment to peace here.

Another great issue with a badass Mera! Abnett's run has been amazing so far! Rebirth is firing on all cylinders!

>>85545574
It feels refreshing to see the word terrorist used correctly after so much recent misuse of the word in comics (looking at you war machine)

Wait is it correct dident they only atrack a military sub that might have been more of an outright war action.

>>85545724
Mera will punch Superman on a whim next issue and escalate a fight. Cap this.

>>85545574
This exposition about his leaping is somehow really natural but also feels really forced.

>>85545595
Fuck yeah the battle damage was not just for the cover

>>85545641
Daaaw
Again whens the fucking wedding special

How far in advance were the supes and green arrow specials anounced

>>85545653
Damit your all playing right into the deluges hands

Still i would have mobilised the fleet in her situation to.

>>85545662
Fuck i cant wait for the payoff

>>85545679
Im glad to see british lady is staying part of the cast.
I hope that paper tells as sark is all better.

>>85545724
Holy shit i did not see that coming.

Still it was wise of the u.s to call him in.

Overall another great issue a few lines seemed a little off maybe but it was otherwise great. Set up some nice plot threads to.

>>85545836
>>85545883
Its gonna be cute


But hes superman he would have heard them talking about the wedding during his flight there

>>85546641
Keep the flame of Sark alive in your heart, Anon. You're doing God's work.

>>85546763
As i said when he first got injured they wanted to see what readers thought of him before deciding if they should bring him back.

That piece of paper has the answer.

>>85545534
Mera is perfection

>>85546575
Few days after the proposal issue released, at least for Supes. Can't remember for GA

>>85545561
Mera is the mos badass super wife of the comics-verse

>>85546823
Arthur is one lucky man.

>>85545534
Mera is best, strongest waifu

>>85547081
>Mera is the mos badass super wife of the comics-verse

When did they give her powers?

>>85545653
Now This is a declaration of War

>>85545690
For some reason Angry Mera look really sexy

>>85545574
How long until this faggot is revealed to work for the bad guys?

>>85547251
Kek are you serious? Shes always had powers of varying degrees. Johns just gave her an upgrade.

>>85547328
She's always angry.

>>85547088
>implying she's not lucky, too

>>85545587
Fuck this guy, seriously.

>>85547951
Pretty sure he's a agent of NEMO

>>85547585
surprise ending of next issue.

>>85548017
Hail Hydra!

>>85546704
The minute I saw the phone call from the President I knew superman was on his way.

I bet Manta kills the NEMO leader and takes over the organization

How is it possible that these five issues of Aquaman are better than the last five issues of Moon Knight?

>>85548343
Rebirth Magic

>>85548343
Im starting to think the New Gods are real and finally heard our prayers

>>85548719
That would mean that Darkseid is real as well though. Amazons Attack II soon.

>>85548771
Darkseid is

>>85548870
Darkseid is event comics.

>>85548343
What the fuck is obsession with Moon Knight lately? First that autist in Win-O going WHERE IS MY MOONY, I WANT MY MOONY, then people saying how it's comicest kino to ever kino, now it's shit. What's the deal?

>>85548903
So he runs Marvel

>>85548938
It started really strong, but then everyone saw where it was going, and the comic did zero swerves on those expectations.

>>85549059
Probably leaves the day to day operation to Godfrey.

>>85545653
>oh man, de-escalation is EXACTLY what we nee--

>....

>Mobilize the war fleet. NOW.

>>85545662
You know what this is starting to remind me of? Game of Thrones.

>>85549112
Ah, shame. I wanted to get into current Moon Knight after I finish his older run.

>>85548343
0/10

>>85545724
IIRC, next issue's cover has Aquaman and Superman fighting, so a big part of me thinks that they actually won't fight. It'd be a classic DC move to make Superman more of threat on the cover than he is within.

Although, admittedly, pre-Flashpoint Supes has mostly been written to be "punch first, talk later" thus far in Rebirth, so.....

>>85549341
Pre-Flashpoint Superman has so far mostly been seen defending his family from the Eradicator and Doomsday. Valid response.

Goddamn Mera, stop being such a murderbitch.

>>85549541
Are you an idiot? The American govt clearly had no plans to play ball from the moment Mera and Aquaman walked in. The secretary is clearly working for NEMO.

anyone have download links for the other issues?

>>85548938
You're better off not listening to anyone who uses the term "kino".

>>85545662
Santa Claus?

>>85549659
That still doesn't excuse Mera's actions against soldiers who are NOT working for N.E.M.O. She keeps saying "talking won't work" while refusing to even try to talk, and tossing tanks around. Even Arthur's going "Can I get even a SINGLE word in here?".

>>85549188
Well yes she got new information

>>85550192
kek they are firing upon her and have orders to shoot to kill her King. Aquaman isn't just some guy, this is an open act of war. They are lucky she is not killing them.

>>85550169

It's Antarctica, so it is obviously the Anti-Claus.

>>85545534
waifu

I love Mera. One of my favorite comic book characters.

>>85546506
because even though it makes sense you know it's there just for the reader's benefit

>>85545724
>shitty blue boots Superman

dropped

>>85551368
then you may as well drop all rebirth titles while you're at it because this is his universal suit right now

>>85551653
He's not in every book though

I just don't understand why DC hates the red on Superman's costume. First the trunks and now this. Next his cape will be blue.

>>85547853
Is that her secret.

She sure is

>>85548244
Im honestly impressed anon.

>>85548196
I might go through and see if i can find some place to insert hail nemo later.

>>85549059
Darkseid runs everything darkseid is

>>85550632
>Forcibly breaks US captive considered dangerous out of prison
>"HOW DARE THEY SHOOT AT US?"

>>85552139
How dense are you mate? Do you not know how world relations work? If Obama went to Russia because a rogue group of Americans attacked a city there, and peacefully submitted himself to prove America wasn't involved and they incarcerated him, mockingly used his title, insulted Michelle Obama, refused to let him leave and then opened fire on him when he attempted to do you not consider that an act of war? The USA has been clearly depicted as being in the wrong this entire arc.

>>85552201
To be fair there's actual evidence that Atlantis officially was involved, since they had the fancy weaponry and shit (even though it was probably stolen). And Obama isn't a Russian citizen.

>>85545629
Looking a little malnourished there in that bottom panel, Arthur.

>>85552430
Regardless the clear disrespect and aggression on America's part has been evident throughout the arc and is clearly leading up to the reveal that the secretary is an agent of NEMO. America in no way is depicted as being in the right.

>>85545456
Regular cover is fairly forgettable.

>>85545479
Variant cover is at least slightly better.

>>85552631
How they have acted so far is understandable to me even though they're being played. Like it's just a clusterfuck rather than right/wrong. If Mera doesn't try to break him out they likely let him leave without all this anyway.

>>85548343
One is written by Lemire, the other is by Abnett.

>>85552774
No they wouldn't have. Again go back and read the previous issues. The secretary is being extremely aggressive and disrespectful from the jump. He isn't even addressing Arthur by title and is dead set on framing Atlantis as the enemy.

>>85545641
this shit ain't logical

The Rebirth arcs have been reeeeeeeaaaally drawn out.

Thanks, OP.

>>85553224
Of course they're linked narratives but I think this is the second arc of this book. I feel like it's well paced compared to most of the others still on their first story with the #5.

>>85552201
Aquaman willingly turned himself in and was set in resolving matters peacefully, he clearly didn't care one bit about the mockery and disrespect, it's not like he couldn't escape by himself at any moment if he wished to do so, Mera jumped the gun and fucked everything up.

>>85553412
It doesn't matter if he was willing to let it slide, Mera wouldn't allow it and thats on the US for handling the situation so poorly. You can't repeatedly disrespect a world leader and not expect the future Queen of his people to get pissed off. Mera is not a surface dweller, all she sees is the representative of the head of a country refusing to cooperate while insulting and imprisoning her King. The US wasn't within its rights at all to imprison a world leader on suspicion.

>>85553520
Her king gave her a direct order not to do anything and instead she attacked a sovereign nation. She was wrong. Whether or not the US was within it's rights was not up for her to decide.

bumping for others.

>>85557023
How did I not see this before.

>>85545574
I wonder if they're going to asspull something at the end that doesn't make President Obama look like an idiot for agreeing with locking up and now shooting Arthur.

>>85558645
Obama was going to shut down the suicide squad.

They clearly dont care

>>85559992
He was made to look like the goodguy in that.
