I can honestly say I gave this new take a shot. It just doesn't feel right to me. The more they get into the D&D side of things the less it feels like Aquaman. I like my Aquaman to straddle bet. The Surface world and Atlantis. Balancing both worlds and doing it well. Artie has and I think he shouldn't be replaced.
Arthur was replaced because "supposedly" once he became King then his story is over. I say hogwash. I say there was so much more to lose. I think A.) Get Mera and Arthur back together again. B.) Have Atlantis rebuilt and C.) Give him an Heir. Aquaman works so much better when he's protecting not only his people, but his family.
I have in no doubt in my mind that he will return. Look at his costume on how it was changed slowly back to a modernized version of his costume of old. That's just a superficial change that the people wanted changed. imagine Artie lasting over Orin as long....I doubt it. Orin will return. You can count on it. Too much history AND if they do make a movie or what have you, it would be too hard to explain why Orin isn't in the comics than what we saw on the big screen or TV. Dollars to Donuts, no matter how much critics love this book, Orin will return.
You can't beat the Original Aquaman Just like New Coke couldn't replace Coca-Cola.
