DC Rebirth: Aquaman Rebirth #1

[@reefa2931]

Aquaman and Mera vs Superman was awesome. My body wasn't ready for that epicness.

[@OMlN0US]

same, that whole escape was great. Aquaman fighting the US Army with Mera and trying not to kill anyone. At the same time arguing with Mera on how it wasnt right for her to try to rescue him. The US government throwing mad shade at Aquaman. Than ending with the Fight with Superman and warning them to fix this mess or else. Whats not to love about that. Aquaman Rebirth completely underrated. i just started reading Aquaman at the end of New52

[@chrismcdonald2947]

Its scary to realize how dangerous Aquaman really is if he doesn't hold back.

[@OMlN0US]

Chris McDonald yeah, and his trident is pretty much Mjolnir. He can control storms, create lightning strikes, it's indestructible, and he can manipulate water with it. I read b4 that Aquaman could mind control anything that came from water even if it once evolved from there. So anything and anyone from earth. he can't do that anymore. he is still pretty strong and even scarier w/his trident

[@chrismcdonald2947]

OMlN0US And in new 52 its shown that his trident is based in magic so it can do some damage to Superman.

[@reefa2931]

Chris McDonald Exactly. But what is very interesting (and important) to note is the fact that Aquaman didn't have his trident when he was throwing down with Superman. Whilst it was pretty obvious that Superman was holding back, the confrontation was clearly written to demonstrate how even without his signature weapon, Aquaman is a serious threat (Mera too). The way he was going straight fisticuffs with Supes, without missing a beat, and then of course the display of military might at the end. Masterful writing. Sure, Supes made the threat towards the end, but that was probably thrown in there so that it would be made clear that Superman is still undoubtedly the stronger of the two. Even still, the point was obvious: Superman wouldn't just body Aquaman with ease in a fight, in fact he'd get a decent challenge.

[@TheAnimaAnimal]

Love Aquaman, thank you for doing this :)

[@TORULEZ10]

TheAnimaAnimal I've started to read comics with Rebirth expecting Superman and Batman to be my favourite titles but it turned out to be Aquaman, Titans and Green Arrow (and the new Green Lanterns). Glad he did a video for Aquaman!

[@chrismcdonald2947]

I love the new Green Lantern story. Baz and Jessica are very well written.

[@ejjohnson6792]

TheAnimaAnimal me Aquaman is that dude

[@batfreeze56]

I'd LOVE to see you talk more about Aquaman because Aquaman is OUTRAGEOUS

[@avery3484]

i saw the thumbnail and title and was like "YESSSS AQUAMAN" please continue this

[@patrickm1092]

Dude, right now you are keeping my comic-brain healthy. Thank you so much!

[@t5dagreat]

I want more Black Manta please! I was never that much of a fan until Young Justice and Justice League animated shows. Dude is pretty gangsta!

[@Chandasouk]

This Rebirth run has been really good. I still gotta read Geoff John's though...

[@ninjarai001]

Chandasouk I enjoy almost everything from Geoff Johns

[@Chandasouk]

I've only read a few things from him, but really liked his Flash run and he basically saved Green Lantern (though let's not talk about the movie lol)

[@fantomex8188]

ComicsExplained How to defeat Dc- Mento,Marvel-Ant-man, Marvel-marrow,Dc-Manchester black,Dc-Dr.fate,Marvel-Darwin,Dc-john Constantine,Dc-beast boy,Marvel-psylocke,Marvel-Changeling,Marvel-Pixie,Dc-Metamorpho,Marvel-hellion.

[@MassayukiSama]

He saved Aquaman too, during Geoff's run he even had 2 titles due to how good Aquaman was selling.

[@GuessWhatHappened1]

Don't worry Altantians the surface world countries don't have its shit together either.

[@jamcalx]

what's your thumbnail from? just curious.

[@GuessWhatHappened1]

jamcalx Akame ga Kill

[@jamcalx]

Jirehn IsJirehn thanks.

[@GuessWhatHappened1]

No problem

[@romulusnuma116]

Jirehn IsJirehn makealtantainsgreatagain

[@kevttob]

Please, more Aquaman content. He's my favorite superhero.

[@orale_]

Kevin Aguilar LUL

[@Anti-HyperLink]

Why?

[@viniciusjdasilva8555]

Black Panther = a king of a country in Africa that is technologically advanced (Everyone loves him) Aquaman = a king of an underwater kingdom that is technologically advanced ( Everyone hates him)

[@romulusnuma116]

viniciusj da silva isn't black panther fighting a civil war in his country? Also different universes.

[@calebmayfield3326]

+Romulus Numa What does them being from different universes have to do with anything?

[@Anti-HyperLink]

Namor = King of Atlantis, son of a human man and an Atlantean queen. Created before Aquaman

[@Gkeese]

I'm a major Marvel fan. Have been for 20+ years. But I gotta say: After all these DC Rebirth videos, I'm really loving the DC landscape. Aquaman is growing to be my fav. MORE AQUAMAN!!!!! Please.

[@angel9x9]

Aquaman's been my favorite superhero and im really glad you're covering him.

[@TheTheDontae]

Does anyone care that Scott Lang talks to ants or Hank pym talks to ants it's just a power

[@katanaridingremy]

Amazing Zero I think in some way is not supposed to be creepy cause, in general, we don't eat ants. So, talking to aquatic life, and then eating such, raises some potential ethical concerns. Just the same way most pet owners talk to their pets, we humanize them and then if we ate them society, as it is in America, would have a disproving attitude towards that

[@TLparkZ]

Amazing Zero Dude I know. I think the show just made him out to be useless so anything assciated with him was deemed stupid and lame.

[@Charziken909]

+Remy Melanie americans eat cow everyday. there's a group of people that see cows as sacred animals. if we eat sacred animals everyday there shouldn't be a problem with eating any other animal including pets in my opinion (unless its endangered) but im just going off on a tangent, feel free to ignore me lol

[@katanaridingremy]

Charziken909 I get what you are trying to say, but your metaphor doesn't work. In order for it to work the society needs to be the same and Americans eating beef and Hindu in India are different. Now if they, in India, talked to the cows and also ate them, then you'd be spot on.

[@tanman729]

its not about the eating fish thing, and antman has other abilities. its the idea that fishes generally cant do shit on land, so his plots seems very engineered. personally, i just bring up that he talks and has control over sea creatures. cthulhu and godzilla are sea creatures. best hero

[@Mat23]

So glad that you did this. Aquaman's New 52's run was amazing, (aside from Cullen Bunn's arc). Would love to see more of Aquaman!

[@amazingmetapanda8166]

I love what he has done so far with Aquaman. The talk between Aquaman and Superman was amazing.

[@0NodMan0]

_Nappa, _*_"Hey Vegeta... I sunk their battleships... and their whales!"_* _Aquaman, _*_"NOOO!!"_*

[@khyreedwards1228]

AQUAMAN is AMAZING! I would love if you would do more Aquaman content. Throne of Atlantis was amazing, and Aquaman's role in Flashpoint and Injustice was awesome.

[@GaryJojo]

The animated show Aquaman was a badass as well when he chopped off his own for his child.

[@pctwood65]

As one of the diehard Aquaman fans...GREAT video! I definitely want more.

[@OFjoey]

Thanks for this Rob. I love Aquaman, i love his story, the Atlantean mythology, its all so intriguing to me, unfortunatley not to everyone. & Dan Abnett is doing great work on Aquaman hope he keeps it up.

[@mikemarks6136]

aquaman isn't my favorite but he's still awesome I always liked him even as a kid

[@SandyTheTryhard]

Aquaman is a boss people just take jokes so far

[@brettbarker4198]

Dude I like all your videos. So glad you're tackling Rebirth and keeping up on Marvel.

[@Kid2590]

Thank you!!! I've been waiting for an Aquakan video!!!

[@robertbrown3054]

So this is video #23 out of 64 in your DC rebirth phase 1 playlist, and you have 3 other playlist for rebirths phase 2,3, and 4. im so lost in this sauce its incredible. absolutely loving this content. It was actually the game series for Batmans Arkham that led me to wanting to learn more about DC in general. Thanks for the awesome content Rob

[@Malcove]

Absolutely would love to know more about Aquaman. Keep 'em coming!

[@punkpinata7062]

Aquaman is my most favourite Comic book Character. I grew up with the old Comics from my Father and he only had one Aquaman Comic but this Comic was so good it was about Aquaman who hunts Black Manta for killing his Child. And the Art was so awesome and Aquamans struggle un-aliving Manta was perfectly shown. That's how I ended up a Aquaman Fan.

[@asonga5410]

"un-aliving" Guess someone fell in love with Dead pool as well.

[@punkpinata7062]

asongafac asaha Deadpool?

[@asonga5410]

+Noah Korrigan You don't know Deadpool? Stupid auto correct.

[@punkpinata7062]

+asongafac asaha No No. I do know who Deadpool is it is just that I don't really know why you think I fell in love with Deadpool. Because to be Honest I never read a lot of Storys with him.

[@asonga5410]

+Noah Korrigan Cuz Deadpool always says in alive.

[@MxEuphemia]

Yes to more Aquaman content! I wouldn't call myself a die hard fan but I'm definitely in the Aquaman is a badass camp :D

[@justinwaldrop7650]

I'm loving DC Rebirth. Just about every title has been amazing.

[@LhynnBlue]

Aquaman rebirth is great. keep them coming rob.

[@bowdownORbringthawar]

Waitress: "So what would you like?" Aquaman: "Fish and chips, hold the coleslaw." Waitress: ? Aquaman: "Really!"

[@arackofhats5235]

FINALLY AN AQUAMAN EPISODE!! Thanks rob, you're the best (i know you didnt make this just for me but it feels like it)

[@hanamori21]

I really enjoy your new content schedule Rob, keep it going!

[@childofgod321]

Thanks Rob! I really appreciate all the info. Keep up the great work.

[@kobetharp4420]

Aquaman is my favorite I'm so glad you're doing this! Finally finally thank you even if it doesn't stick but I hope it dose!

[@Tube-yo9tj]

I love aquaman and I think there is sooooo much potential for incredible story telling with his character!

[@kevinhortachata9700]

thank you for giving Aquaman some love Rob.

[@Camarojuana_SS]

Huge Aquaman fan, loved the video.

[@Double0Ness]

definitely would like more! thanks rob

[@2smoothone670]

Aquaman has always been one of my favorite DC CHARACTERS AND I CANT WAIT TI SEE THE DIRECTION THEY ARE TAKING IT

[@chrismcdonald2947]

I will admit to being a diehard Aquaman fan since the 90s. He is always underrated. He has some of the most complex stories I have ever read as his stories are not just see bad guy, put in jail or defeat. He is constantly being pushed both as a hero and as a politician. Also Mera has always been kind of a loose canon....she loses her mind on several occasions. Most notably when her son is killed.

[@itzDaKine]

When i first saw this i got mad excited. Aquaman has been like one of my top 5 favorite superheroes of DC for a while and yet he is so underrated its annoying!!!

[@OseEigbobo]

I don't know if you've done it already, but could you please do the Blackest Night event?

[@comics_explained]

I would love to but it's not self contained. It requires the entire history of Geoff Johns run.

[@OseEigbobo]

ComicsExplained True

[@fantomex8188]

ComicsExplained How to defeat Dc- Mento,Marvel-Ant-man, Marvel-marrow,Dc-Manchester black,Dc-Dr.fate,Marvel-Darwin,Dc-john Constantine,Dc-beast boy,Marvel-psylocke,Marvel-Changeling,Marvel-Pixie,Dc-Metamorpho,Marvel-hellion.

[@TLparkZ]

ComicsExplained If the Civil War videos were 5 hours altogether, how much do you think the Blackest Night videos would be?

[@Missrena1000]

TLparkZ At least twice as more

[@jones061]

Cool video it does show the depth and complexity of the character...he doesn't need to be a superhero he is legitimate in his own right.

[@bolicked]

The fish talking thing was a problem for Aquaman but also... look at that costume! Also, the Aquaman of the 90s is such a hilarious overcorrection that it only serves to embarrass him in retrospect (SO GRITTY! MY SON DIED! MY HAND'S A HOOK!). The best version of Aquaman is Batman The Brave and the Bold! It embraced the goofiness, but made him into a lovable adventurer Errol Flynn style.

[@Thejericko17]

I love Aquaman. Do more of these!!!

[@fuwa94]

I really dig this please please do more of these videos!!

[@ANTIEWOK]

I really like this new schedule. Keep it up rob

[@TheAmbitiousFilms]

Geoff Johns made me an Aquaman fan. The new 52 run he had is amazing!

[@JimmyTurner]

I'm just going to say, I don't care what Rob says. I'm at least 87% sure Aquaman talks to fish. ha ha.

[@Deeepain]

Keep the Aquaman vids comin!

[@Th3Majst3r]

So Jason Momoa is perfect for him.

[@Princess_Ozma]

I would love it if you kept doing Aquaman stories he's one of my favorite super heroes.

[@TehRhod]

Rob please do a video on Black Manta!!!

[@larkeejames2724]

Just wanted to say that I like everything you touch on in the comics

[@tulisanes]

great channel man ;) keep it up!!!!

[@oatmat]

This Video Deserves more views

[@RK-ck6pl]

He's been talking to fish for like 70 years.. we won't forget. lol

[@Harleyxjokerforever]

People you'll glad to know that Aquaman has jumped from 72nd on my 100 top heros list to 34th. Let give him around of applause. 🙌🎉🎊

[@mmorales4395]

Great video, really interesting. Thank you!

[@ShadowCoH316]

tell us about Black Manta! of all the villains in DC he's the one I easily know the least about. He just kinda seems like a generic water-themed baddy on the outside, fill us in!

[@arackofhats5235]

ShadowCoH316 hes basically underwater deathstroke... black manta is a badass lol

[@calebmayfield3326]

+Tyler Kelly Underwater Deathstroke? He's that Badcrotch

[@blueraven7803]

I'm down for more aqua man

[@thatonegtguy6701]

Mermaid Man's new comic looks AMAZING~!

[@fredgerd5811]

I personally LOVE Aquaman. My favorite superhero for years.

[@lacrossebap3x6]

Dan Abbet really cranks it up with these first few issues of Aquaman

[@Narukamiiii]

Wait.. ofc he eats fish , your not gonna find a chicken at the bottom of the ocean.

[@TuyenNguyen-gm2et]

Could you please do the event of Forever Evil? Anyway your content is amazing.

[@toromiguelangel]

Aquaman is a great and very interesting super hero. His conflicted nature of being not accepted neither on land nor on Atlantis always haunts him (at least since Geoff Johns took over in New 52). Geoff Johns run was great, Jeff Parker's run was good (not at the level of Johns' but very decent) but then it took a hit. Thankfully Dan Abnett is doing an interesting series now. Glad you did a video for Aquaman. If you have time (and/or read that series) you should do one for Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps.

[@theshadowcatcher4721]

I've always liked Aquaman, especially the nineties and new version of him. I learned to spearfish when I was six, and back then, although his character wasn't "hero"ish, the concept of him made it easier for I to fish at night beyond the reef. I didn't feel the same about Namor because back then, he was alway a bully type of character and there was more than enough of them in the waters.

[@ajhatfield8934]

Yay! More Aquaman please!

[@zacharylux2861]

amazing as always

[@furunaki]

I dont look at it on terms of he can just talk to fish. I see aquaman and think, this guy can summon a kraken to wipe out a fleet of ships or have a dozen hump back whales cause a tsunami and destroy the whole eastern sea board. look at all the things flash can do, and he's just fast......

[@christopherdrakeford6258]

furunaki agreed

[@MassayukiSama]

Water covers most of Earth and his wife is a hydrokinesis expert also and he has a army that can use magic.

[@wlliebowen2043]

I am loyal fan of AQUAMAN .He is my favorite HERO in the DC.Universe. I plan on going to see the movie .When IT Comes out in December.

[@biglammo]

As long as Abnett is writing Aquaman then I will read this comic religiously. He has always been my favorite, especially with Warhammer 40K.

[@cdmoraila22]

Aquaman Rebirth has been one of my favorite books since the relaunch. Consistently

[@TopherTensen5020]

more AQUAMAN please!!

[@TheJohno95]

Ok. I'm not a big Aquaman fan. But, as a kid, I thought he was pretty cool. Especially in his own adventures. I think the problem with Aquaman is that when he was created, a guy that could breathe underwater and have those kinds of adventures was pretty cool. In this day and age of more and more powerful heroes, he just kind of fell by the wayside. Most writers just didn't know what to do with him. This new take on me reminds me of the 70's version I grew up with. And it seems pretty good. I'm not adverse to good Aquaman stories.; So, here's hoping it keeps getting better and better from here.

[@marcuscristy5371]

always loved aquaman, my favorite dc character since 83. diehard fan

[@Infernophant]

Yeah def more aquaman content!

[@khaayhoos]

I'll tell you rob, you make comics super cool. My super non-nerd Co worker referred me to you channel, and your incredible awesome at reading between the lines. please do more on villians, like black manta or Darth Vader.

[@phaiz3.]

I am loving the Aquaman rebirth run

[@Youngempg]

I agree with u... aquaman is one of the best rebirth titles in my opinion n I've read every rebirth comic so far

[@whatduexpect4585]

I always enjoyed the character of namor the submariner better bc of his dont care to be a hero just want my kindom to thrive kind of attitude. But aquaman is more relatable in the fact that he is getting judged all around even by his own people and is doing the tight thing but is seen the wrong way.

[@johnjoesafatso]

finally read this. This volume one was amazing. Last issue especially, when we really see what's going on in his heart.

[@pogster24]

I really liked this and think Aquaman is awesome.

[@Anela0709]

Keep em coming, Black Manta is my boy in Injustice 2!!

[@austinmc1999]

Not to sound weird, but I just love Robs chuckle/laugh

[@chrisdryer]

You should just do what you want. Any time you talk about something passionately it is entertaining.

[@theamountof]

For 20+ years I had always thought Aquaman was a joke, but as time goes on I have come to view him as one of the top members of the Justice League.

[@NILgravity]

Overfishing is a huge problem. He wouldn't order the fish and chips.

[@NILgravity]

Or at least he should know better.

[@speedy01247]

maybe he know's that place get's their fish from a farm or something or maybe there is no overfishing problem in DC.

[@AgentOrange17]

If he sends out some type of "signal" and the creatures of the sea understand it, that at its base form is communication or "talking" if you will.

[@TheMrQuepe]

Communication and talking are not the same thing. Talking involves communication, but communication does not always involve talking.

[@LupineShadowOmega]

Less talking and more manipulating. If you could move things through telekinesis, no one would say that you talk to objects.

[@AgentOrange17]

yes

[@calebmayfield3326]

+Tehlonelynoob No

[@HadesHatredEdge]

IMPERIOUS REX!!!!!!!

[@ChristopherZeta1999]

Can you do a video on Marvel's Fear Itself?

[@Charziken909]

ewww

[@oatmat]

I fucking Love the New 52 version, Ive been hooked on this for a while and Dan Abnett is the fucking Man!!!

[@SweetSoraSatu]

Please do more Aquaman. He is my favorite DC hero :)

[@unlistedlizard9598]

Aquaman is a great read! Don't give up on him...

[@superscrubninja]

good job explaining. i never cared that he talked to fish, i thought it was more GRAND. as he controlled all sea life to do as he willed. i thought 90's Aquaman was cool, but it wasn't until the Injustice comics and Flashpoint Versions that i really started to respect him.

[@addisonhernandez7697]

I think this is more attractive for Aquaman stories.

[@jacobmyers3831]

I love Aquaman. I used to not like him but the my girlfriend gave me an Aquaman comic and it was amazing. I personally would love to see more Aquaman.

[@Matt_El_Comicologo84]

hi Rob. like a few times already said and still saying. I enjoy a lotvyoyr channel. And you do logical and great stuffs. My sugestion would be about 2 groups from the 90s: WILDC.A.T.S and GEN 13
