It was announced at Megacon & mentioned on Geoff Johns’ Twitter over the weekend and since confirmed by Robot 6. Aquaman is set to be getting a new #1 issue later this year. Details are a little sketchy at this point. It’s unknown if the new series is a mini or an ongoing. Given recent events over in Brightest Day, I guess you can consider it a apoiler that Arthur Curry is not, in fact, dead again. Speaking of Brightest Day, it did its level best to bring re-establish Aquaman and his family/supporting characters, so the framework is in place for a compelling series already.
Say what you will about Geoff Johns, but no one can deny that his guiding hand has re-vitalized many flagging DC properties, and Aquaman will be no exception. One can only hope, anyway. After many short-lived series and the ridicule the character faces from the public at large, it will definitely be an uphill climb for Johns. After all, what other hero can inspire two songs with the exact same title regarding his depression?
