Thomas' Jackson Hyde feels like a natural evolution of the character, with Aquaman Arthur Curry’s power but not perhaps his cockiness. Take just the first issue, with its startling in medias res beginning (Aquaman Jackson Hyde escaping from Neptune? What?!) to what is essentially an issue-long conversation between captive and captor (with some fairly complex alien cultural mores), to the “castaway” situation in the flashback that just gets worse and worse with horror movie efficiency. That’s Brandon Thomas' “Future State: Aquaman” above all, along with Joshua Williamson’s titular “Justice League,” Geoffrey Thorne’s " Green Lantern," and Ram V’s always-good “Justice League Dark.” Thomas and Thorne I wasn’t familiar with before, and my experience with Williamson’s Flash was rocky, but here all of them do well on characters they’ll be guiding in the Infinite Frontier era.īrandon Thomas' “Future State: Aquaman,” with art by Daniel Sampere, is simply stunning, and I’m very excited now for what Thomas has coming up in Aquaman: The Becoming and beyond. Though not flawless, where it counts the stories here are great, even spectacular. Future State: Justice League is another of these volumes that gives me hope, you’ll forgive me, for the future.
