Aquafamily? Sure the end of this issue isn’t exactly the most encouraging set up to a future ongoing story with this group BUT… we can’t let a little thing like being disintegrated at the bottom of the ocean stop us from speculating away.

This issue (Brightest Day #20) showcased an incredibly badass display of heroics from Mera, a first meeting for Aquagirl (Lorena Marquez) and Aqualad (Jackson Hyde), and a nice little happily-ever-after moment for Aquaman and Mera (pre-disintegration of course). It made me, for the first time, interested in following an ongoing Aquaman story. Not for Aquaman alone, mind you, but for the entire group featured here.
