Aquappearances for May 21 2025

I found two (plus) Aquappearances in the DC Comics shipment for the week of 21 May 2025. If you found more, please leave a comment.

A very minor appearance of Black Manta (Grade 5) was in Batman/Superman: World's Finest #39:

Atlantis and Atlantean tech are mentioned (Grade 6) in Titans #23 as items being stolen by Orca (who is not an Aqua-character, technically). That's the "plus" appearance.

The main appearance this week is Aquaman himself (Grade 4), showing up in Superman Unlimited #1:

Looking to next week, there's no specifically Aqua-related book on the list, but Aquaman might appear in Justice League Unlimited #7, which is a continuation of the story from this week's Batman/Superman: World's Finest, "We Are Yesterday," which involves both the Justice League and the Legion of Doom, and Black Manta is on the main cover.

DC Solicits for August

DC Connect #61 has been released, and that means we have solicits for August.

Aquappearances for May 14 2025

I found one (plus) Aquappearance in the DC Comics shipment for the week of 14 May 2025. If you found more, please leave a comment.

The only actual Aquappearance was in, you guessed it, Aquaman #5. This issue had four variant covers, including one that's a Superman/Aquaman mash-up. The story of Aquaman's quest to find his family and people continues in this one, which has the funniest title I've seen on a comic story in a long time.
*(Yeeaaah! Aahhh! Oh God! Oh God It's Eating My--! Ahhhh! is the actual title!)

Aquaman sort of made appearances in two other comics this week. In DC vs Vampires: World War V #9, Aquaman is part of the plot and is mentioned, but doesn't make an actual appearance. There is action in Atlantis, as well. So, yeah, it probably qualifies. Atlantis is also mentioned in Fire and Ice: When Hell Freezes Over #2, but it is not in the context of Aquaman.

Hey, another post! What a surprise! Eh, maybe I'll keep it up. Who knows. I doubt anyone is reading after so many years of silence.

Aquappearances for 7 May 2025

I found two Aquappearances in the DC Comics shipment for the week of 7 May 2025. If you found more, please leave a comment.

First up, in Justice League: The Atom Project #5, Black Manta makes a tiny appearance (Grade 5), visual only:

And in the original graphic novel, DC's Misfits of Magic, Aquaman makes an excellent and very funny cameo appearance (Grade 3):

I know it's been years since I updated, but maybe I'll start posting again. Who knows.
