Retold and reload
Again another strong issue and still stronger than its counterpart, the Flashpoint tie-in for Wonder Woman and the Furies. This one switches between a retelling of Arthur's origin while detailing his plans for an invasion of Britain (or New Themyscira). Both aspects of the story were well told, but I felt that at times the issue suffered in its pacing by telling the story as it did, with a little bit and a little bit there. Still I think in terms of changes which Flashpoint has given to the DC universe, the modifications to Aquman are the truest to his actual character as opposed to so many others who have lost what makes them who they are to advance the plot of Flashpoint. This is a decent issue though and for what little action there was, it was quite fun. It sets the scene for the anticipated battle in the next issue and really is one of the stronger entries of Flashpoint.
