In preparation for his role as Black Manta in James Wan's Aquaman, Get Down actor Yahya Abdul-Mateen II is willing to go to any lengths. Even, it seems, reading… *gulp*… Aquaman comics. Following a Q&A on social media, the actor thanked fans for reading recommendations and posted a photo to Instagram of himself holding several recent Aquaman comics and a New Suicide Squad comic, along with the caption, "Looks like I've got some reading to do!" Famous last words?

Truly, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II is dedicated to his craft. We've been writing about comic books on the internet for years, and we haven't actually read one since 1991. But Abdul-Mateen is diving into comics about a man whose superpower is talking to fish, and he's doing it with a smile on his face. God bless!

Sadly, that prophecy was wrong. Oh, Jude Terror was right. For ten years. About everything. But nobody listened. And so, Jude Terror has moved on to a more important mission: turning Bleeding Cool into a pro wrestling dirt sheet!
