ATA's DC Nation Podcast Week 19 (Standard) “Atlantians, Kryptonians, Black Mantas OH MY!”

Hello loyal DC Comics fans, Atlantians, Kryptonians, cyborgs, Geoff Johns fans, and DC Nation listeners and welcome back! This week on ATA's very own DC Nation Podcast, Dan and I cover the most controversial superhero in pretty much all of comic book history, this character is none other than Orin/Arthur "A.C." Curry aka AQUAMAN! Now, Aquaman (created by Paul Norris), has had one of the most convoluted backgrounds in all of comic book history (others with that title include Hawkman, Jean Grey, Ben Reilly, and Power Girl) but now with DC's New 52 relaunch, Geoff Johns has fixed all the problems we've had with Aquaman over the past 75 years, in just ONE ISSUE!!! That's right, so far issues 1-10 of this new series are out, and we cover all of them, but first, we start out with a little bit of background on "mankind's truest friend" followed by our discussion on the first story line, "The Trench". After that we quickly move onto the better of the two story arcs (witch, by the way, is still going on) "The Others" featuring my all-time worst fear: BLACK MANTA!!! But Aquaman isn't all we talk about this week on DC Nation, we also talk about Bryan Q. Miller's Smallville Season 11 with part 10 of "Guardian", kicking off the final act of the premiere! We discuss Superman maybe redeeming Superman IV, Lex Luthor's latest "butt kicked" moment, and the birth of Smallville's Cyborg Superman! All this and more on this underwater episode of the DC Nation Podcast!
