UGO Aquaman Interview!

UGO has a great interview with Geoff Johns and all he talks about is Aquaman! I especially liked this part:

Before he disappeared into the crowd of people at New York Comic Con, Johns briefly talked about scenes that we'll be seeing in upcoming issues, including a touching scene of Aquaman remembering his father on the ocean's shore. Aquaman's father was a lighthouse keeper, who fell in love with an Atlantean and Aquaman was the result of that forbidden relationship. Once separated, he on land, she in the sea, he promised to go to the same spot on the shore every day and wait for her. Aquaman recalls his father going to the beach every day to look for a "whale," he says, that just never comes. Touching stuff for a superhero everyone has slammed over the years.

I'm so glad Aquaman is finally getting his due! Reviews of the first issue have been largely favorable. In fact, I haven't read a bad review yet!

NYCC Aqua-News!

According to this link from CBR,

Switching to "Aquaman," Johns brought series artists Ivan Reis and Joe Prado to show off pages from issue #5. "He's fighting in an airplane and he falls out…and when he looks up he's in the middle of a desert," said Johns as the audience gasped. John also said that issue #6 would be a Mera issue.

Well, that explains issue five's cover! And Mera spotlights are always welcome!
