>tfw you're reading Aquaman volume 1 #42 and find the true culprit responsible for the death of Arthur Jr.
In the letter pages no less, we have James H. Shull responsible for the dismantling of the Aquafamily.
>>84499171
Read it and weep here, folks in the final letter at the bottom right.
I wonder what became of him now.
>>84499171
>>84499194
So who wants to form a mob?
I git the torches
Everyday!!
Until he's back!!
We won't be silenced!!
>>84500341
Finally, a cause I can get behind of.
>>84499171
Is it wrong that I want the baby to come back so manta gets the satisfaction of killing it twice.
Just imagine, instead of always bragging about the time that he murdered aquaman's son, he can alternate bragging about the one of TWO times that he murdered aquaman's son.
>>84499790
Probably living under a new name and hideout in secrecy.
>>84502458
Can't Manta just go to an alternate dimension and kill the baby in there?
>>84499171
What if James H. Shull is Black Manta's real name?
>>84502275
>>84500341
>>84499171
Yes, we shall assemble a mob, hunt this man down, and thank him for what he has done!
>>84503709
>an entire series dedicated to Manta's attempts at aqua-infanticide across the multiverse
>>84503927
What a twist!
>>84499171
We'll always be caught in the dance of "Introduce legacy, kill legacy, reintroduce legacy" won't we?
>>84504613
Truly, he was a hero for an entire generation.
>>84504613
It's weird to think that the lose of a character was made all worth it by a single page
>>84500341
I'll get the pitchforks. We can paint them gold to look like tridents.
>>84502458
Did the baby come back in Blackest Night? That would've been fucked up.
>>84509217
Letter pages clearly had quite the influence back in the day.
>>84499194
I wish DC would bring back letter pages like Marvel did.
>>84499171
Anyone else think this arc is going to end with Mera doing something Arthur wouldn't enjoy all that much? She was basically ready to kill Black Manta when AM wasn't and now we've got this new threat who I think Mera might just kill rather than letting go which will unnerve Arthur a lot.
Also
>Bruce gets his family brought back countless times meanwhile Arthur has to suffer for all eternity
It isn't fair
>>84512641
Eh, I kind of hope not. One of my favorite things about Aquaman is his stability with Mera.
>>84509916
Yes.
Mera took care of it.
>>84504837
go away Slott
His only mistake was wishing it upon a monkey's paw.
