After half a decade, the DCEU Aquaman is finally back for a new solo gig in the highly-anticipated Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom !

Before you see Jason Momoa’s latest (and last? ) big-screen adventure as the Aquatic Avenger @JusticeLeagueBookClub, be sure to check out this one-shot that is absolutely worth diving into:

Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom Special #1

Afterward, check out Lost Kingdom’s main villain in his first appearance:

Aquaman (1962-) #35

Ready for more of Manta? Of course you are! Swim into his first solo gig:

Black Manta

An entirely different (yet very entertaining) take on Black Manta:

Ame-Comi Girls #24

Lastly, the first appearance of Kordax:

Atlantis Chronicles #4

Enjoy Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, the above reads (especially the movie tie-in ) and have a VERY Merry Christmas and a Happy 2024 that are worthy of Atlantis, Aqua-fans!

[Aquaman]

To this day, Atlantis Chronicles might still be my favorite comic book series ever. Atlantis Chronicles #1 was my first actual comic book about 30/35 years ago.

@Vroom if you’ve made that gif, I gotta say I just love it! Right now I’m reading the first appearance of Black Manta! Can’t wait to see the new movie tomorrow!

I’ve never read Atlantis Chronicles in-full, but since Kordax debuted in it, I think now is the perfect time for me to finally read the whole shebang from start to finish.

@Aquaman

Atlantis Chronicles #1 was my first actual comic book about 30/35 years ago.

My first comics from 33 years ago were reprints of The Untold Legend of The Batman #s 1-3, as offered through the Batman cereal in a mail-in promotion in 1990.

I still have 'em to this day and they’re still among my favorite childhood comics.

@Reaganfan78

@Vroom if you’ve made that gif, I gotta say I just love it!

Nope, not a work of mine. Just something I pulled up in my Google net a few days ago.

It bears the Pop likenesses of Art, Orm and Manta, so I’m guessing it was made by Funko or a licensing partner of theirs that had permission to use their Pop designs.

I’m glad you like it, because I enjoy it, too.

I have read this, though AFTER I saw the movie, and it was quite fun! Man, I wish they’d give Tim Seeley an Aquaman run…

I’m glad you enjoyed it. Was there any one part that stood out to you?

Speaking of Seeley, have you read Hack/Slash?

[millernumber1]

@Vroom

I thought the Mera/Arthur stuff was very sweet.

@Vroom

Speaking of Seeley, have you read Hack/Slash?

I have not - not a huge horror guy, though I know it has Buffy vibes and I am a Buffy fun.

Agreed, as that was one of my favorite parts, too.

Then again, you know me and my AHM fixation.

@millernumber1

I’m not big on horror either in most respects. However, the 2007-ish Hack/Slash was introduced to me at my then-regular comic store when it came out.

I read it for a few issues and thought it was decent-enough for what it was.

@millernumber1

I am a Buffy fun.

A fun, eh?

You just reminded me of The Return of the Pink Panther, which is my favorite Pink Panther movie.

Slides Cool Points across the table.

You earned 'em, Chuck.

SN: “Chuck” is not, AFAIK at least, millernumber1’s name. I just randomly chose it from the top of my head.

It is not, though my brother and sister-in-law did just meet Captain Awesome from the Chuck tv show at the airport!

[Vroom]

@millernumber1

“Super, Jeff!”

I loved Chuck when it was on NBC…at least for its first two seasons.

Once he got all James Bond-y on a full-time basis, the gig lost some of its mojo.

You know…the Chuck comic published by WildStorm is in our library. I suggest reading it if you haven’t already.

I was kind of the same way. But my brother and sister-in-law adore the whole show, so it was a real treat for them this morning

Interesting…

[Vroom]

I might re-watch Chuck at some point. Maybe then I’ll like the latter episodes.

Anywho, what was your favorite part in Lost Kingdom (blur if spoiler-y please, so we don’t anger the Karathen)?

You mean “Super, Jeff!” ala Chuck himself.

An excellent question! Hard to pick - I think I need to make a podcast about it to try to sort out my thoughts. So many parts were just so much fun. I loved seeing Topo a lot, and I thought the growing brotherly relationship was really well done. Aquaman as a dad was great, and I was so relieved that they didn’t go as dark as I feared with either Papa Curry or Aquababy. Gimli the crab king was really great, and I was surprised and pleased at the Mera and Atlanna we got!

What about you?

[RG02]

This Is awesome @Vroom! Thanks for the recommendations.

[Aquaman]

I saw Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom at the first available showing yesterday, and I loved every second of it. Don’t listen to the critics or the naysayers, go see it for yourself. People like to point out that it has a 36% score on RT, but I would like to point out that it has a 77% audience score on the same website.

You’re welcome and thank you for checking them out. Have fun!

@Aquaman

Huzzah!

I heartily enjoyed Lost Kingdom as well, and am seeing it again tomorrow (i.e. Saturday, depending when one is reading this).

@Aquaman

QFT. Surface-dwellers should find their own flow and not let others do it for them.

Have you read the movie tie-in one-shot yet?

[Aquaman]

@Vroom

Have you read the movie tie-in one-shot yet?

Of course I have, what kind of Aquaman die-hard do you take me for? lol
I read it when it was published a couple of months ago, and I re-read it about an hour before I saw the movie.

It ties into the film quite well, and makes a certain callback to the Peter David run during the Aquaman story

Different strokes for different die-hard folks, you know.

@Aquaman

I re-read it about an hour before I saw the movie.

I’m planning a re-read of it prior to heading out to the theater tomorrow, especially since I re-watched Aquaman tonight for a refresher.

[Aquaman]

Ah, so you haven’t seen it yet. You should enjoy it, it’s a blast. I’m going to see it at least one more time before it leaves theaters
