Wonder Woman issue 49 cover reveals they'll reverting Diana's costume back. Issue 49 for Aquaman reveals the same. Do you think they'll drop Poseidon's Trident on issue 49?

I like his power set now.. it will be a shame if they quickly reverted Arthur's power back. I just hope Poseidon's Trident will stay for good.

@justthatkid: Where did you get that it looks awesome.. They reimagining the characters again?

I wouldn't mind if he did. Honestly I don't want any reminders of this run.

@blackwind: The feats in this run is pretty much impressive.. thats why I want the power set to stay :)

@ashrym: @vinomonster: it's not confirmation but Booth the next artist draws Aquaman and Mera with Aquaman holding the new trident dig his Mera's design.

Who knows though Rise of the Seven Seasons could give the old Trident some mystical projectile type power.

That art looks sexy :) Love his illustrations!

They're not droping Poseidon's Trident based on Aquaman #50 cover :) Im so happy for our King

He should just use both making him more badass, a dagger that turns to a trident and his regular trident.

I actually like the current look if it was drawn by Ivan Reis.. but if Arthur went back to the old design, i just wished they'll alter it to have a DCEU feels to it.

@ecstaticgrace: is the new costume mimics Garth's? The new costume looks tempest-ish.

It's also not really new given that it appeared in Aqua history and I dont think Aquaman's being put into it as a new costume, atleast I hope not.

This is definitely not Arthur.. this is Garth..

If its a throwback I just want to see a different color scheme. Gold and Green is still the ideal colors.

They dropped it... But I guess he'll get a new gift from Poseidon. Pity because the trident is so much powerful.. Hopefully Dan will make Arthur more powerful in his run.

@ashrym: I'm looking forward to that.. The current issue shows a lot of feats for Arthur.

@ashrym: Yeah read it earlier, I thought it was cool.. But the series isnt canon right? But I wouldnt be mad if they use that.

I'm all for a return to the normal costume and if he gets a new Trident (after what happened at the end of issue 48) with some powers it would be neat. But everything should be in agreement with the upcoming Rise of the Seven Seas. I feel if Johns wants Aquaman to have some more extra powers in the Trident, he will not make it have that many powers. Maybe water / ice control and the water teleportation.

I like that he had levitation, and lightning and blasts, but maybe that was to far removed from the concept of Aquaman (IMO).

But even if he returns to the original Trident, I'm still fine. It's powerful enough as it is and shows Aquaman's fighting skill better since it doesn't have the luxury of exotic ranged attacks or shields and stuff (though it can deflect magic and blasts).

@vinomonster: JLA is canon, but we don't know exactly when it happened. It's similar to the older JLA Classified series. Like an anthology of JL adventures.

@ecstaticgrace: I like the ending but it doesnt answer on what trident is he using.. did he summon lightning using the trident? The Kings Trident hasnt have that feat.. maybe he was using Neptune's Trident from JLA?

@ecstaticgrace: I'm talking about Hitch's JLA ..it happened after Batman End Game, Superman Truth, Renagade Green Lantern and Exiled Aquaman.

I think Abnett just might not be aware the regular trident doesn't do that.

@ecstaticgrace: They kinda skipped the continuity.. but I think all answer will be on Rebirth.. I just can't wait to read it.
