Tomorrow, DC Comics Publish A Hidden Prelude To The New Aquaman #1

Tomorrow, DC Comics publishes a hidden a prelude to the new Aquaman #1 from Jeremy Adams and Laura Braga, if you know where to look.

On Friday, Bleeding Cool broke the news that Jeremy Adams and John Timm would be launching a new Aquaman comic book series from DC Comics in January. Promising the power to warp water, aquatelekenisis or hydrokinesis… And that he'll be turning up in Challengers Of The Unknown #2 as well. But it seems that this new Aquaman story will kick off in The Brave And The Bold #18 published tomorrow by DC Comics. With a story called Reflections by Jeremy Adams and Laura Braga.

Comic book reader Paul Braga noticed and asked on X, "Do I notice a @spacekicker story in Wednesday's Brave and the Bold #18. Wonder if the story will have any ripples to be felt in Aquaman?" Jeremy Adams (for it is he) replied, "This is a good bet! #Aquaman". Well, let's take an early Bleeding Cool peek, shall we?

With White Martian Tan'Ax Tan'Azz (first appearance!) monologuing evil plans, using ancient tomes buried within Atlantis.

And plotting to destroy the Earth to revive the environment of Mars. And trying to recruit Miss Martian and Jackson Hyde to his cause. Not that he gets anywhere of course. But it may suggest what will be happening in Aquaman next year… Brave And The Bold #18 is published by DC Comics tomorrow.
