DC Favorite Couples Tournament: Canon Round 1 Match 5
The winners of yesterday’s matches were Scandal/Knockout/Liana, Dick and Kory and Huntress and Peej.
Just one canon match (don’t worry non-canon is back Friday).
Aquaman and Mera!
vs.
Wally West and Artemis Crock
If you haven’t heard, Geoff Johns has announced a new book starring Aquaman. And I have some questions about the title. Portrait by Ivan Reis.
A lovely Mera by Ramona Fradon
This is by Ramona Fradon who was one of the few females artists working in comics during the Silver and Bronze Age. In addition to working on Aquaman she co-created Metamorpho. She later drew the Brenda Starr comic strip and a variety of other DC books including Super Friends. If you would like to learn more about this pioneering female creator this is a good interview.

Brightest Day # 11 preview, oh goodie the Black Laterns are back
The whole preview is up at the Source - here’s a double page spread from the issue. And I ask the same question, “Where’s Mera?”
Mera
A lovely portrait of Mera by with pencils by snareser and colors by spidermanfan2099. What’s that you’re saying Mera? Oh “it’s as big as two fingers,” is it? It’s okay, Mera. Remember it’s not the size of the ship, it’s the motion in the ocean.
I’ll admit it. When Mera showed up in Blackest Night I didn’t like her. She was clearly a new favorite of Geoff Johns and was being positioned as an equal to Wonder Woman. That’s a belief that is, well, all wet. But since then I’ve grown to admire the character. She’s strong, fierce and from little I’ve seen of Brightest Day appears to be a partner to Arthur. I am not reading Brightest Day, but hope that Mera ends up in another title soon. She’s definitely one kick ass woman. At least I have Batman: The Brave and the Bold’s Mera in the meantime. I must have watched Aquaman’s vacation episode at least ten times.
Also as a reminder the fantastic Ramona Fradon will be at the Baltimore Comic Con this weekend. If you are lucky enough to attend, take a moment and stop by and see a great artist and a pioneer for women creators.

The Black Cat does the Aquafamily. Outstanding! My favorite version of the Aquafamily is “Batman: Brave and the Bold” but this is very cute.
M is for Mera, Aquaman’s kick ass wife and the Queen of Atlantis. Mera made her debut in 1963 and was recently thrust to prominence in Blackest Night. After escaping Black Lantern Aquaman, Mera is first deputized into the JLA and then by the Red Lanterns. As a Red Lantern, Mera both fought and bonded with Wonder Woman. At the end of Blackest Night, Aquaman returned to life and he and Mera are trying to learn the secrets of Brightest Day. And the new Aqualad? Totally Mera and Black Manta’s kid. Calling it.
