A bit of good news from DC for once: Geoff Johns announced at Megacon and over Twitter (which was later confirmed by Newsarama... uh, based on his tweet) that he will relaunch an Aquaman series later this year:
Announced at Megacon: After BRIGHTEST DAY I'll be moving over to a new book - AQUAMAN #1 coming later this year!! :)
Aquaman was (literally) given a new lease on life in the past year's Brightest Day, and is one of the characters fans most hoped would continue on into a new series. I just hope Ivan Reis or Joe Prado is on pencils, as they did as much as Johns and Tomasi to bring a new, regal dignity to Arthur Curry. Let's have the rest of the Aqua-crew (Mera, Aquagirl, and the new Aqualad) is there too (and bring back Tempest, please!).
UPDATE: And I'm completely agreed with DC Women Kicking Ass regarding including Mera in a major way (including in the title if not her own book)--Johns shone that spotlight on her, so let's hope he keeps featuring her as prominently as she deserves.
UPDATE 2: Check out this interview with Geoff Johns on Newsarama about the new series, which follows Flashpoint.
