Cleaning out the Links

It's been awhile since I did a proper linkdump, and some of these links are fairly old and you've no doubt already read all about them. Still, it can be good sometimes to be reminded, so here's a nice linkdump for you...

Superhero Profiles: starting with Aquaman. If you like it, check out his shop, lots of Aquaman fun there.

Many versions of Mera.

Peter David on Writing Aquaman. Originally published September 21, 2001, in Comics Buyer's Guide #1453.

Dan Jurgens on Aquaman and the Others.

A review of Justice League: Throne of Atlantis.

The urge to smack Dave for this Sheldon strip is mildly overwhelming.

Bleeding Cool made a prediction back in February about another Aquaman spinoff... let's see if it happens?

DC provides Aquaman coloring pages for younger Aqua-fans. I like that there are really four different versions of Aquaman in the one file. Wow.

Link Attack! Run! Hide! Submerge!

Another positive review of Aquaman #31. And another from Comicvine.

Jeff Parker talks with Comicvine about his Aquaman run. You all already read the preview, right?

Parker also talks with comicosity.

Meanwhile, Dan Jurgens also talks about Aquaman.

Aquaman and Superman have a discussion about family.

How about a review of Aquaman Vol 4: Death of a King?

A bit of Aquaman art.

Fandom in Stitches has Aquaman designs. I almost wish one of my clever relatives would make me an Aquaman quilt...

I can't decide whether Scott Hilburn (The Argyle Sweater) loves Aquaman or hates him.

News on The Others

The Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo (C2E2) had a DC panel that included a bit about Aquaman and the Others from Dan Jurgens:

...the series will explore the mystic Atlantean artifacts that empower the team created by Geoff Johns and Ivan Reis. He noted that "We have some expansion going forward that we can build on a little bit" with more mystic Atlantean gold whose weapons have never been revealed.

At another panel at C2E2, Jurgens also mentioned the book and said:

...there are ten weapons, and not all have been revealed.

Let's see... The Trident, The Sceptre (destroyed in the battle against the Dead King), The Mask, The Key, The Manacles of Force, The Globe of Transportation and The Seal of Clarity. That's seven... However, the trident seems to pre-date the others by a bit and may not actually count as one of the ten.

What do you think?
