Geoff Johns Is Returning To Aquaman, But It's Not How You Thiiiink

Aquaman time! In Flashpoint Beyond #6, we learned that the Time Masters were to return the Thirteen – DC Comics characters we had never heard of before, to their rightful times and places, and that reality would rewrite itself back around them. One of them was The Golden Age Aquaman. Well, it looks like he will be making his first actual appearance in the upcoming The New Golden Age one-shot by Geoff Johns, returning to the Aquaman – just a very different one. Maybe.

Aquaman was a member of the Justice League, but not the Justice Society, he was too minor a character for them,. just a back-up strip in More Fun Comics. But might this be where the Golden Age Aquaman derives from? Will he be a member of the new Justice Society in their new book? Or might he get a comic of his very own? Either way, it looks like Geoff Johns is back to writing Aquaman, just not in a way anyone thought.

The Aquaverse tells us "In just 2 weeks DC will be publishing new WHO'S WHO IN THE DCU pages for the first time in 20 years! THE NEW GOLDEN AGE #1 will have 13 all-new entries that "fell out" of the original series including (at long last) the Golden Age Aquaman by Geoff Johns with art by Jerry Ordway!"

Geoff Johns has a strong reputation as an Aquaman writer, and his run was probably the most successful the character has been for a long time. But this could be a very different thing. How Golden Age will this Golden Age Aquaman be? Because this is how he looked in the actual Golden Age, his first appearance in 1941.
