Aquaman is getting a Second Ongoing Series

From the Article

We live in a world where Marvel's Quicksilver is going to appear in two competing film franchises, as many as four new DC Comics TV series could be on small screens this fall… so why not a world where Aquaman has two ongoing comic book series?

Aquaman and the Others is a new ongoing series written by Dan Jurgens with art by Lan Medina and Ed Tadeo, DC Comics announced through IGN Tuesday afternoon. The team, featured periodically in the Aquaman solo series, will take on new threats to their Atlantean artifacts in stories parallel to that book. Aquaman, Ya'wara, Sky, The Operative, and Prisoner-of-War will all be returning for the series, if the cover by Ivan Reis and Joe Prado is any indication.

The series is notable not just for being a second Aquaman ongoing, but also because these characters, The Others, are characters brand new and unique to the New 52 DC Universe. They were not imports from a former version of the DCU, and represent the publisher's commitment to, and confidence in, new concepts and characters in this two and a half year old version of their world.

Aquaman and the Others #1 hits shelves April 2014.

Thoughts?

Nice to see Aquaman getting the attention he deserves.

Still pissed that they killed off The Seer and Vostok

@fallschirmjager

Yeah, thanks man.

This was actually posted a few days ago in the Aquaman forum though! :)

Still awesome news. Almost brings a tear to my eye...2 ongoings?

And these characters are basically 2 years old too (and people bitch about DC not giving them enough variety)

Barely recognize Dan Jurgens or Lan Medina though. Hope the stuff is good.

I loved Dan Jurgen's Booster Gold I just hope this will be good too, I'm excited.

Would have thought Ostrander would be writing this

Sounds cool. This is way more interesting news than the Secret Origins series.

Meh, somewhat disappointing news, when compared to all the other characters DC could have brought. On the other hand if the sales arre there it is certainly their prerogative.

Good decision on their part.

Lan Medina is a great artist, this should be good!

Praise Neptune!

Super cool!

It's good that somebody other than Superman and Batman is getting more than one book.

Got to admit that this surprised me. Aquaman has certainly been one of if not the best book of the New 52. John's run was awesome and I hope Parker can continue it. I hope this does good as well. It will be interesting to see if there is a sizable enough market for it.

His Thor is worth checking out.

Sure but i want a Shazam comic.

Yeah. I think he actually wrote a few Aquaman issues in the 90's, though the fact that I can't name them isn't promising to me.

Medina I know did a few issues of Venom, so I'll have to skim the ones he did to see if I liked the art or not lol

Awesome! I thought the Man of War character was pretty interesting now we can see more of his backstory

Sweet! It's nice to see Aquaman get the respect he deserves

Good news for Aquaman fans, bad news for my wallet.

I'm glad. Aquaman is one of the two (three maybe?) best books that the New 52 are doing. I've quickly come to respect him as a character. So, I guess I'll be getting another series. Sorry money....

Very cool. I'm glad Aquaman is getting the attention he deserves.

Very cool news!

as much as i like aquaman , im gonna pass on this , the others never really appealed to me and aren't half of them dead?

I'll read it. I'm happy for Aquaman.
