caiusbackupA few of you may have heard that I've been reading a lot of Aquaman lately, particularly Peter David's run. Because PAD's Arthur is hot, blond, angry, bearded--and mostly shirtless. Not to mention badass and telepathic. And raised by dolphins. And...so forth.
Anyway.
Today, I got round to the annuals. And came across a scene in the fourth one that I couldn't bare to keep to myself. Context: perhaps due to the Annual Theme of the Year, Atlantis' ancient notables are returning. And, for the most part, making trouble.
The black-haired man is the *first* King Orin, Aquaman's ancestor and namesake and generally a good guy. The woman is Queen Lorelei, who was married to King Konsu the conqueror, and apparently enticed him to invade the surface world. Not such a good guy, and very probably another of Arthur's ancestors. (ETA: Actually, she's Aquaman's paternal grandmother...!)
They're all in the Aquacave together. Arthur thinks he should go do something about the mess his ancestors are making of his kingdom. Lorelei...has other ideas.
At which point words fail. And, after a scene change, continued.
