Aquaman #14 By @Robkixx

Aquaman issue 14 by Geoff Johns finally gives Aquaman justice. The story is a prologue to Throne of Atlantis and a Justice League cross over. It starts off in the 1700s where Aquaman's great grandfather gets captured by pirates and are going to gut him. But he gets revenge when the Atlanteans rescue him and drown the Pirate Captain and his crew. Then in another part of the issue Aquaman calls a meeting with his brother Ocean Master to confront him about their families magical powerful trident that has destroyed an island which he denied. The story also mentions Garth aka Aqualad as well. Its about time Johns starts answering questions about Aquaman and his relationship with Atlantis in the new DCU. Its a great comic series.

What sank the 'Aquaman' TV series?

Arthur "Aquaman" Curry may be the King of the Seven Seas, but even he was a casualty of television network politics and profits. That's the message in an outstanding post by Michelle Ealey at sciencefiction.com

In short, the CW in 2006 ordered an "Aquaman" pilot starring Justin Hartley. Two of his co-stars were Ving Rhames and Lou Diamond Philips. The pilot was well-received.

And that was the end. Hartley went on to star as Oliver Queen/Green Arrow on "Smallville." Rhames can be seen next in "Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol." Phillips had a run with "Stargate: Universe."

In her post, Ealey explains exactly what happened. It's worth checking out to learn a little about how things work - or don't work - in Hollywood.

Happy Birthday, Aquaman!

We're not sure how old 70 is in fish years.

How do you light birthday candles underwater?

Well, if you missed Aquaman's 70th birthday party on Sunday, you'll never know. And we're not telling. (OK, we weren't invited, either.)

His waterlogged friends at The Aquaman Shrine, though, planned a party worthy of the King of the Seven Seas at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles (maybe Sea World was already booked). Among those expected to attend the celebration, according to Hero Complex, were aqua-luminaries Dan Abnett, Tony Bedard, Kurt Busiek, Nick Cardy, J.M. DeMatteis, Ramona Fradon, Pat Gleason, Dan Jurgens, Paul Levitz and Joe Prado.
