Batman: The Brave and the Bold #8<\/h2>\n

Bat\u00adman and Aqua\u00adman team up on a Quest to recov\u00ader the fabled Amulet of Ari\u00adon to break the curse that has bound the ghost\u00adly for\u00admer pri\u00adate Cap\u00adtain Fear to wan\u00adder the Earth until he has earned redemp\u00adtion. Aqua\u00adman knows where the Amulet is locat\u00aded, but the dan\u00adgers involved get\u00adting there have pre\u00advent\u00aded any\u00adone from doing so in the past. Those (seem\u00ading\u00adly rather tame) dan\u00adgers include mon\u00adster fish, a whirlpool and a trio of enchant\u00adi\u00adng sirens, all of whom are quick\u00adly over\u00adcome. But Bat\u00adman and Aqua\u00adman were fol\u00adlowed by Black Man\u00adta, whose sud\u00adden attack allows him to seize the Amulet and attempt to direct its pow\u00ader against them. Only by the inter\u00adven\u00adtion of Cap\u00adtain Fear are they res\u00adcued, at the cost of destroy\u00ading the Amulet and los\u00ading a chance to break his curse. How\u00adev\u00ader, his self-sac\u00adri\u00adfice was the final ele\u00adment of his redemption.<\/p>\n

Com\u00admen\u00adtary:<\/em> Its always good to see ref\u00ader\u00adences to old DC char\u00adac\u00adters, includ\u00ading Ari\u00adon<\/a> (who had his own com\u00adic \u201cAri\u00adon of Atlantis\u201d<\/em> drawn by Jan Duurse\u00adma back in the ear\u00adly 1980\u2019s) and Cap\u00adtain Fear.<\/p>\n

\n

Not direct\u00adly relat\u00aded here but def\u00adi\u00adnite\u00adly worth men\u00adtion\u00ading: this fall, DC Comics is plan\u00adning a major reboot of their entire line this fall. Called DC New Uni\u00adverse, the announced changes go well beyond any of the pre\u00advi\u00adous con\u00adti\u00adnu\u00adity revi\u00adsions and changes.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

One of the comics will be \u201cJus\u00adtice League Dark\u201d<\/em> and will involve (cen\u00adter right) John Con\u00adstan\u00adtine, (upper left) Dead\u00adman, (above, what appears to a malev\u00ado\u00adlent appear\u00ading) Enchantress, (below) Madame Xanadu, (upper right) Shade the Chang\u00ading Man and (cen\u00adter left: note the bare\u00adly vis\u00adi\u00adble fish\u00adnet arm\u00adlets) Zatan\u00adna. I have always been a fan of Madame Xanadu ever since her own com\u00adic, and, of course, Zatan\u00adna, so I am sort of look\u00ading for\u00adward to this, although I still have my doubts about the whole con\u00adcept of a com\u00adplete uni\u00adverse reboot.<\/p>\n

Note:<\/em> Many years ago, I com\u00admis\u00adsioned Phil Foglio to draw a car\u00adtoon of Des\u00adtiny rip\u00adping pages out of his Book cor\u00adre\u00adspond\u00ading to all of the sub\u00adse\u00adquent con\u00adti\u00adnu\u00adity changes to the DC uni\u00adverse: whole pages enti\u00adtled \u201cCrises\u201d, \u201cEarth Two\u201d, \u201cInva\u00adsion\u201d and \u201cZero Hour\u201d went fly\u00ading. Now it looks like he\u2019ll be need\u00ading an entire\u00adly new Book.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
