The thing about everyone not liking Aquaman back in the day I feel like it led to Aquaman being a stealth household name, like we all subconsciously just grew to accept the fish man
@@akiraeatsguitarpicks491Really? I never would have thought of that considering Norm is already the short version of Norman. Learn something new everyday.
Never forget: Somehow, Entourage predicted a massive success for a Aquaman film over a decade before it happened. It also predicted that Aquaman 2 would do "good". Can Entourage lighting strike twice? Let history be the judge!
ComicPop is probably the only thing on TH-cam where I actually wait every week for new episodes. It's been like 5-6 years for me since I've discovered this channel at least, and yall NEVER disappoint me. Thank you very much. Can't wait for next week already lol
I understand why you can’t do Aquaman books super often, since you need money to buy food and pay rent, but this is one of the funniest back issues to date and the Sub Diego video is also top tier back issues
Or daughter. Can do the story where he finally marries Mera which was promised in the Rebirth one-shot. Would also mean they could talk about Future State since the daughter got 2 stories there(the Aquaman one as a kid and the JL one where she’s the most normal of the team and is the only one to like another member of the team instead of treating it all like work)
I know it'll probably be a long time before they do another Aquaman book but I would love for Sal and the crew to do Aquaman Underworld someday. I feel like Abnett's whole Rebirth run was actually pretty amazing
So they are absolutely referencing Celtic mythology in the story. One of the classic enemies of the Tuatha de Danaan were the Fomorians, which were referenced to as "sea people" in some stories which some interpret as them being IN the sea, not just, like, sailors or something. But the CHARACTERS are funny because the names I'm catching would seem to represent the Tuatha de Danaan, the NOT sea people. Silverhand is absolutely a reference to a Celtic King. His story is even more batshit, as he was a great hero who was DENIED the throne because of losing a hand in combat, and the King must have a "perfect form". He was gifted his silver hand by the Fae which allowed him to assume the throne.
The Aquaman book during DC Rebirth was so, so good. The first volume would make a great back issues just to see reactions to Aquaman and Mera's tag team match vs Superman.
Aquaman lore is fun, I always like learning more about it. Also, every dive set-up I've dove with has had two regulator mouthpieces - there's a backup in case something goes wrong with the first and you need it, or if your dive partner's equipment is compromised and they need to use your air to get to safety.
Livewire in the Superman Blue suit was great! If they ever want to make her a anti-hero or at least more of a "criminal" and less of a "supervillain" they should have her get it again
If there was ever another Aquaman story covered I think it should be the Rebirth story where Atlantis is locked out from the world in a shield, Aquaman becomes a freedom fighter and Mera joins the JL and tries to get the shield open from the outside. Oh and it has art from the creator of Harleen.
THIS IS WHERE THE CRYSTALS COME FROM?!?! I remember reading one of the first arcs of the the rebirth Justice League thinking how stupid this plot device is and had no idea it was apart of established Aquaman continuity.
The myths about Atlantis said the city had a power source that caused it to sink, people say that they predicted electricity hundreds of years early but I think they were imagining more of a magic power source so this new status quo makes sense
Well done, gents! I was laughing out loud with you while trying to follow the Aquaman bouncing ball, and I've been reading his comics for, like, 60 years. Orm!
As weird as this story is, it’s still what any Aquaman book should lean into ; Game of Thrones underwater, never even interacts with a surface-world story until after the first year or more worth of stories
Nuada pronounced " new- ada" was Prince of the tuatha de danan ( i think and I think thats how it's spelled) who later became the fae, and later fairies. The firbold could be pronounced a lot of ways but fair bolg is common and it translates from gaelic as "men of bags". In the book of invasions the men of bags are settlers in Ireland that bring good soil in bags to the island. The tuatha de danan were Celtic gods that's why there was a Celtic cross on the door... I think they went into the underworld basically and humans kept the surface, as far as I know it wasn't under da sea. At least that's what I remember
btw would you please make a video about jenkins' Inhumans? i know no one cares about inhumans but i really wanna see you guys talking about the best Inhumans story.
Holy hell I saw this comic in an article titled "top ten aquaman stories" 4 days ago... 2 days ago I found it in a set at my lcs...and Im reading it now ...comic pop is truly serendipitous ❤
I’m looking forward to seeing Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom. He was always seen as joke character during the Hanna Barbera cartoons or Robot Chicken. But. I like he was accurately portrayed in the Justice League animated series. Jason Momoa has done a great job playing Aquaman.
Everyone shots on Justice League Detroit (rightfully so), but I find it interesting that Vibe, Vixen, Citizen Steel and Gypsy kind of had a moment on the arrow verse shows. I wonder what their recognizability is now
After seeing Ocean Master's "classic" design, we really dodged a bullet in film. The blue and purple look is muc h cooler than all the browns of the original look.
My head is spinning after this book. I just need to decompress and listen to your review on the Knightfall Saga. At least that book has about as much subtlety and intricacies as a season on the WWF.
Is Michigan really land locked though? They've got access to lake Michigan, which going through the other lakes eventually gets you to the Atlantic if I'm not mistaken?
I didn't know Orm was once fully human I glad they didn't keep that and Aquaman is a lucky husband to have Mera I'm glad he didn't nearly cheat on her or anything also Sreng of the Firbolg is the goat🤣
(Azerath) yeah!! I just finished binging the channel yesterday, started in September. But now I can keep up as the show comes out! 🐬 edit: Jason Momoa helped emphasize how absolutely sexy Aquaman can be 🥰
He (aquaman) has far more respect than he once had, but they need to find a way to make him more prominent! One way is to print more stories of other aquatic characters (both hero and villain) so his world seems larger and more important, with a fair amount of them not having to do with Aquaman. More diverse rogue gallery characters should be used to fight their nemesis' so it isn't always (black manta) the same advisary, and of course more supporting characters need to be created around heroes and villains (these would be built as stories are told) and some of them may even get stories from tiem to time.
To be fair, that is an answer to the question of what he's DOING there, it's just that it wasn't the answer to the actual question that was intended, but he's an asshole so he's intentionally misinterpreting the question.
Pretty sure it’s 24 hours, not an hour. 😂 Like: If he was on a bus and there was slow traffic, I don’t think Arthur would die before his stop. Tell you what though, his 1991 series is a pretty fun read.
All those shades of blue on the suit, and it still couldn't capture how blue Arthur's balls were by the end...
The thing about everyone not liking Aquaman back in the day I feel like it led to Aquaman being a stealth household name, like we all subconsciously just grew to accept the fish man
With a name like Orm, I never would have thought he was originally a regular human and not Atlantian
“Why… why, brother? Why must we fight?”
“BECAUSE DAD GAVE YOU A REAL NAME AND I’M ‘ORM’, DAMN IT!”
It’s short for Norm
@@akiraeatsguitarpicks491Really? I never would have thought of that considering Norm is already the short version of Norman. Learn something new everyday.
Aquaman is such an interesting character as he was pretty much always famous but never popular.
Your right is one of hidden powers😂😍
❤
Never forget: Somehow, Entourage predicted a massive success for a Aquaman film over a decade before it happened. It also predicted that Aquaman 2 would do "good". Can Entourage lighting strike twice? Let history be the judge!
From the future, it may or may not have broken even which compared to previous DCEU movies is an improvement .
I loved how Young Justice tied Vandal Savage to magic and the history of Atlantis
ComicPop is probably the only thing on TH-cam where I actually wait every week for new episodes. It's been like 5-6 years for me since I've discovered this channel at least, and yall NEVER disappoint me. Thank you very much. Can't wait for next week already lol
I think it’s funny that Aquaman is like “I don’t talk to fish” bro that’s a cool power that would let you learn so much.
I understand why you can’t do Aquaman books super often, since you need money to buy food and pay rent, but this is one of the funniest back issues to date and the Sub Diego video is also top tier back issues
If you ever do another Aquaman story, why not the one about Aquaman's son?
Or daughter. Can do the story where he finally marries Mera which was promised in the Rebirth one-shot. Would also mean they could talk about Future State since the daughter got 2 stories there(the Aquaman one as a kid and the JL one where she’s the most normal of the team and is the only one to like another member of the team instead of treating it all like work)
You mean the one who died?
@the_well-known_stranger2275 the one who was murdered yes.
I know it'll probably be a long time before they do another Aquaman book but I would love for Sal and the crew to do Aquaman Underworld someday. I feel like Abnett's whole Rebirth run was actually pretty amazing
I agree that was one of the best storylines ever for Aquaman!😊
I am realizing Silverhand’s people really are based on Celtic mythology. The Firbolg thing proved it
Aquaman’s son wears the blue suit in Batman: Brave and the Bold. So it lived on in the modern age in some form
So they are absolutely referencing Celtic mythology in the story.
One of the classic enemies of the Tuatha de Danaan were the Fomorians, which were referenced to as "sea people" in some stories which some interpret as them being IN the sea, not just, like, sailors or something.
But the CHARACTERS are funny because the names I'm catching would seem to represent the Tuatha de Danaan, the NOT sea people. Silverhand is absolutely a reference to a Celtic King. His story is even more batshit, as he was a great hero who was DENIED the throne because of losing a hand in combat, and the King must have a "perfect form". He was gifted his silver hand by the Fae which allowed him to assume the throne.
You are 100% correct . So many references to Celtic myths
wow despite not caring at alllll about aquaman, this reimagining is actually cool, all the magic and fantasy elements are cool
The Aquaman book during DC Rebirth was so, so good. The first volume would make a great back issues just to see reactions to Aquaman and Mera's tag team match vs Superman.
Take a shot every time Sal says "Thierna Na Oge"
But I dinnae wanna die of alcohol poisoning!
Aquaman wearing blue wait a minute is that where Teen Titans Aqualad costume Came form wow Aqualad rocked that outfit better than Arthur
That was a dope suit
To me the best thing about Aquaman is his supporting cast especially Garth and Kaldur.
@38:00 the Name Fir Bolg sounds stupid, but it is based on a Irish Legend, if i remember correctly it is the name of a Giant
Aquaman lore is fun, I always like learning more about it.
Also, every dive set-up I've dove with has had two regulator mouthpieces - there's a backup in case something goes wrong with the first and you need it, or if your dive partner's equipment is compromised and they need to use your air to get to safety.
Electric Eel Blue Aquaman
Livewire in the Superman Blue suit was great! If they ever want to make her a anti-hero or at least more of a "criminal" and less of a "supervillain" they should have her get it again
Aquaman is such an underrated gem
First introduced to him through Grant Morrison's JLA run and the DCAU appearances, so I always so him as cool
I'm imagining Aquaman doing laps between Windsor and Detroit😂😂😂😂
I live in windsor lmao was thinking the same thing
If there was ever another Aquaman story covered I think it should be the Rebirth story where Atlantis is locked out from the world in a shield, Aquaman becomes a freedom fighter and Mera joins the JL and tries to get the shield open from the outside. Oh and it has art from the creator of Harleen.
Aquaman on Backissues is always a good time
Yay, Aquaman video. Totally whelmed.
I actually really like this costume of his, wish they’d bring it back
The first 13 minutes essentially being Sal talking about how unpopular Aquaman is just perpetuates how hard it is for me to be a massive Aquaman fan 😂
"YO! We need more of this Blue Suit Aquaman!" said Everyone.
THIS IS WHERE THE CRYSTALS COME FROM?!?! I remember reading one of the first arcs of the the rebirth Justice League thinking how stupid this plot device is and had no idea it was apart of established Aquaman continuity.
Loved rewatching this and how Sal just made Aquaman see red like Brock from venture bros. 😂😂😂
The myths about Atlantis said the city had a power source that caused it to sink, people say that they predicted electricity hundreds of years early but I think they were imagining more of a magic power source so this new status quo makes sense
We finally riding the tidal wave of Aquaman! Now we can get Sub Diego in like... 7 years!
I’m pretty sure they did sub Diego already something like 3 or 4 years ago
Well done, gents! I was laughing out loud with you while trying to follow the Aquaman bouncing ball, and I've been reading his comics for, like, 60 years. Orm!
Idk i kinda like the suit lol it would be a fun alternate costume if Aquaman ever had a video game
2:04-2:@8 Aquaman's one of my favourite characters un DC, but that was really funny.🤣🤣🤣
As weird as this story is, it’s still what any Aquaman book should lean into ; Game of Thrones underwater, never even interacts with a surface-world story until after the first year or more worth of stories
The stealth suit wasn't completely forgotten. In Batman the Brave and the Bold his son Arthur Jr wears it
I would love to see Back Issues for Peter David’s run
this is already one of my favorite back issues episodes
Nuada pronounced " new- ada" was Prince of the tuatha de danan ( i think and I think thats how it's spelled) who later became the fae, and later fairies. The firbold could be pronounced a lot of ways but fair bolg is common and it translates from gaelic as "men of bags". In the book of invasions the men of bags are settlers in Ireland that bring good soil in bags to the island. The tuatha de danan were Celtic gods that's why there was a Celtic cross on the door... I think they went into the underworld basically and humans kept the surface, as far as I know it wasn't under da sea. At least that's what I remember
Thank you sal for answering questions I didn’t know I needed answers to
He looks majestic
btw would you please make a video about jenkins' Inhumans? i know no one cares about inhumans but i really wanna see you guys talking about the best Inhumans story.
Oh brilliant! Was looking forward to this
“ A landlocked state”
Lake Michigan, Erie & Huron in unison: “Are we a JOKE to you?!?!”
Well you ain't OCEANS
Yes!!!
So excited to have Aquaman ok the couch!
Awesome, i just watched the Sub Diego episode before this one
Hopefully like the Aquaman movie, this video will be bolstered by views from China.
Holy hell I saw this comic in an article titled "top ten aquaman stories" 4 days ago... 2 days ago I found it in a set at my lcs...and Im reading it now ...comic pop is truly serendipitous ❤

Oh wow! Someone remembered there's an Aquaman sequel coming out!
15:57 two brothers in a van
That was surprisingly good! good episode!
The suit is cool but I can definitely see that being a artist nightmare and they gave that suit to Aquaman's son in Batman the Brave of the bold
12:49 - Ethan I WANTED Aquaman Andromeda 😭
Everyone shots on Justice League Detroit (rightfully so), but I find it interesting that Vibe, Vixen, Citizen Steel and Gypsy kind of had a moment on the arrow verse shows. I wonder what their recognizability is now
Citizen Steel is in Wonder Woman and vibe and vixen were both used in new 52 justice league - I think gypsy was in JLDark at one point as well.
After seeing Ocean Master's "classic" design, we really dodged a bullet in film. The blue and purple look is muc h cooler than all the browns of the original look.
1:26 holy shit that is so accurate.
I like how this suit came back in the 80th anniversary special.
I remember when an Aquaman movie was just a plot line in a season of that show Entourage lol
My head is spinning after this book. I just need to decompress and listen to your review on the Knightfall Saga. At least that book has about as much subtlety and intricacies as a season on the WWF.
Recently read this story for the first time, great time.
Was that a Knights of Tir Na Nog reference Ben? Probably was just a reference to actual Celtic Myth not an TV show or anything I know about.
Is Michigan really land locked though? They've got access to lake Michigan, which going through the other lakes eventually gets you to the Atlantic if I'm not mistaken?
I didn't know Orm was once fully human I glad they didn't keep that and Aquaman is a lucky husband to have Mera I'm glad he didn't nearly cheat on her or anything also Sreng of the Firbolg is the goat🤣
Blue Suit Aquaman looks like a parody of himself.
The suit looks straight out of sea world
Shout out to Ben with the Mistic Knights reference.
fun video as always!
(Azerath) yeah!! I just finished binging the channel yesterday, started in September. But now I can keep up as the show comes out!
🐬
edit: Jason Momoa helped emphasize how absolutely sexy Aquaman can be 🥰
Orm is cool when he gets powers because Aquaman is so reserved with his powers and abilities but Orm is not scared to use force to get his way
Someone please tell Ben that Michigan is mostly surrounded by water it may be freshwater but water nonetheless.
_Aquaman_ makes a billion dollars...the darkest timeline.
Btw I'm putting this on again tonight. Something fun to fall asleep to!
Aqua blue man group….idk I’ll see myself out.
Some of us have not forgotten!
He (aquaman) has far more respect than he once had, but they need to find a way to make him more prominent! One way is to print more stories of other aquatic characters (both hero and villain) so his world seems larger and more important, with a fair amount of them not having to do with Aquaman. More diverse rogue gallery characters should be used to fight their nemesis' so it isn't always (black manta) the same advisary, and of course more supporting characters need to be created around heroes and villains (these would be built as stories are told) and some of them may even get stories from tiem to time.
Maybe well get Aquaman Andromeda some day
I was thinking the same thing when I saw Aquaman's baby and that Black manta was the main villain.
I see Aquaman was going threw his “Picasso” period lol
In all fairness, Michigan is not land locked, it is surrounded by the great lakes :P
0:56 technically, Michigan is surrounded by the Great Lakes, the largest freshwater system in the world. I don’t think I’d call it landlocked 😝
My favorite Aquaman is John DiMaggio
Aquaman is badass
Well, ocean master is apparently even more raged because he causes Aquaman to lose his hand. Remember that one. 🖐️ 😮
Well, Woopsie do I did not realize you guys mentioned his hand already my bad.😂
final nail for dceu
37:44 What are these names 😂
Being from Michigan, Aquaman being on JL Detroit isn't a horrible decision. It's only a few HOURS of a drive to one of the Great Lakes.
Well there's the river lol
Lol I was just thinking who would win in a fight animal man or aquaman and this pops ups.
i forgot this aquaman story was a thing.
Great show , shame that DC has released a collected edition of that book.
Yay Aquaman
To be fair, that is an answer to the question of what he's DOING there, it's just that it wasn't the answer to the actual question that was intended, but he's an asshole so he's intentionally misinterpreting the question.
As an Irishman. This is a tough listen xD.
Pretty sure it’s 24 hours, not an hour. 😂 Like: If he was on a bus and there was slow traffic, I don’t think Arthur would die before his stop. Tell you what though, his 1991 series is a pretty fun read.
Lived in Florida all my life so I can say without question, a "Fishman" being on roids and bath salts wouldn't surprise my anymore
Aquaman made a billion dollars?
What fuckin timeline are we in?!?!
