Happy end of 2023! To celebrate the turning of the year, I wanted to take a quick view back through the comics I read over the last twelve months. Turns out there's... a lot of them.
This isn't 100% perfect, mainly because I'm basing this off the metadata of when comics were added to my computer... I do think there are some comics I added at the end of 2022 but ended up reading in 2023. However, in the interest of being fair, this list won't count those, and is instead only the comics I can confirm I read in 2023.
By my tally, I read 977 comics in 2023 across 78 unique titles. If we assume each comic is 22 pages long, that's 21,494 pages of comics! Of course, some stories are shorter than 22 pages (as if they're splitting with a backup) and some are longer (prestige formats or one-shots). Based on some quick (and quite unscientific) math, I estimate that I spent around four days of my 2023 in the world of DC Comics. And you know what, I'll do it again.
Breaking down my Top 10 single titles, this year I read...
169 Superman/Adventures of Superman/Action Comics issues
128 Batman/Detective Comics issues
104 JSA issues
56 Suicide Squad issues
52 Birds of Prey issues
51 Manhunter issues
38 Harley Quinn issues

Please Care About Aquaman With Me: New Millennium, New Magic Water Hand
Welcome back to Atlantis! Last time, things were going pretty okay for Arthur and company! Don’t get used to it.
CW: Ableism, specifically regarding autism.
The previous Aquaman run, the 1994 volume, ended in 2001. It’s two years later, and the status quo has changed drastically, mostly thanks to a Justice League plotline called The Obsidian Age. The first time I read the 2003 series, I thought that the initial writer (Rick Veitch) didn’t do a good job of summing up The Obsidian Age for context. Now that I’ve read The Obsidian Age, I understand that that’s impossible, because it’s incomprehensible.
But here’s the short, relevant version: during a massive interplanetary war, Arthur decided to keep Atlantis safe by having Garth use magic to transport the entire city and all its inhabitants centuries into the past, to a golden age in Atlantean history known as the Obsidian Age. (You know how I keep saying Garth is ridiculously OP? Yeah.) This turned out to be a bad call, since this so-called golden age was actually ruled by a tyrannical queen, who enslaved the modern Atlanteans (and turned Arthur into sentient water and kept him in a swimming pool, lol), and Garth and the JLA had to go back in time and rescue them, and most of them died in the process (they got better).
ANYWAY. The Atlanteans are back in their home time now, but they are pissed, because Atlantis was above the surface during the Obsidian Age, and now it’s underwater again, and apparently by resubmerging Atlantis, Arthur basically did a blasphemy, even though it saved them all from slavery centuries in the past. Sure.
Et tu, Vulko??? I mean, I guess this is par for the course for you these days.
Arthur is left to die. He manages to break free, but Atlantis has been taken over by the Evil Wizard Political Party, who have turned the fish against Arthur (lolll again), so he can’t go back into the ocean. He staggers inland, to a lake, where he meets the Lady of the Lake. Yes, that one:
She calls him a hero and replaces his harpoon hand with a hand made of magic water:
Arthur falls in with some fisherpeople, including a lady who he’s very flirty with, and decides to just stay in Ireland indefinitely I guess? (Oh yeah...he’s in Ireland.) But what’s going on down in Atlantis?
Well, it’s not great:
The scaly dude is Hagen, leader of the sorcerers and the new prime minister. That’s Mera under all that coral (?); Hagen and his cronies are keeping her magically drugged and then using her authority to do whatever they want.
Mostly "whatever they want” involves...making giant monsters with sex magic?
Yeah, these two fuck in the water over an open volcano and giant mutated sea creatures come out of it. That’s a thing. That happens.
Anyway. Rodunn, the former captain of Arthur’s guard, is told by Hagen that he has to kill Arthur properly if he wants to be the captain of Mera’s guard. He goes to Ireland to murder Arthur, but the giant mutated sea creature he’s riding attacks him, and Arthur saves him and then heals him with his magic water hand:
Rodunn goes pretty much completely around the bend at this point, but at least it’s in Arthur’s favor. He basically returns to Atlantis and starts running around babbling about Arthur like he’s Jesus.
Meanwhile, Garth shows up to tell Arthur that the situation in Atlantis is bad: he’s not allowed to see Mera, he and Dolphin and Cerdian are under house arrest (he escaped), and also there’s the weird volcano-fucking-to-make-monsters situation. Arthur’s like “But Atlantis hurt my feeeeeeeelings.” Garth has no patience for his whining:
He projects their souls into the bodies of fish so that they can enter Atlantis and Arthur can see how bad things are. They see Mera being forcibly drugged and Arthur is furious, but when they get back to land he’s like “Idk...maybe I won’t save Atlantis...” until Garth’s like “Uh, Mera, though?” and he’s like “Oh shit u right.” The WORST husband, I swear to god.
Unfortunately, Arthur’s magic water hand isn’t supposed to be used for violence, and he totally punched Rodunn with it before. This awoke an ancient evil called the Thirst that is now going to...drink the Lady of the Lake and her sisters, unless Arthur stops it.
GLUK GLUP GOLP
Also, Black Manta shows up pretty much completely at random, at which point it’s revealed that he’s autistic, and that’s why he’s been a baby-killing supervillain all this time. YEAH. THAT HAPPENS. FUCK THIS COMIC.
Arthur uses his magic water hand to “cure” Manta:
HOO BOY.
Manta’s like “Omg I’m so sorry my autism made me evil, can I team up with you and defeat the Thirst?” Garth’s like “This seems like a really bad idea, and also, what about Atlantis???” Arthur tells him that he’s pretty sure him defeating the Thirst will free Atlantis, SOMEHOW, but that Garth should go back home and find Vulko or Rodunn to help him...overthrow the government or something. So helpful, Arthur!
Garth returns to Atlantis and teams up with Vulko, who has been quietly working against Hagen by teaming up with an escaped experimental, uh...jellyfish man named Man O’ War, who has killed that extremely uncomfortable volcano fucking couple from before so that they can’t make more monsters.
Man O’ War’s the guy with the tentacles. He will never show up again.
Meanwhile, Arthur and Black Manta pursue the Thirst, and Arthur actually defeats him - only to be shot in the back at a critical moment by Black Manta:
I mean...I guess at least Manta’s like “just kidding, my autism didn’t make me evil, I was autistic and also evil for unrelated reasons of it’s fun”? But what the actual fuck.
Arthur gets so mad he hits Manta with his magic water hand, which causes him to merge with the Thirst into a giant water monster, OBVIOUSLY:
“A relapse.” Of being autistic. Jesus Christ.
Arthur/the Thirst (Arthirst?) travel to the side of the dying Lady of the Lake, fighting each other all the while, and Arthur kisses her, thus restoring her with love instead of violence and permanently vanquishing the Thirst. This has the added and completely inexplicable bonus of stripping away the magical powers of Hagen and his allies down in Atlantis, meaning that...Vulko and Garth are in charge now, I guess??? This makes zero sense but whatever.
With Hagen vanquished, Arthur is safe to return to the sea, and so he must bid farewell to the woman he has been flirting with for twelve issues now. She assumes they can’t be together because he’s too busy shacking up with people like Wonder Woman, and instead of explaining that it’s because HE HAS BEEN MARRIED THIS WHOLE TIME, he drops this absolute mindfuck of a line:

The fall is usually the domain of television. September and October are the months in which networks (and increasingly some streamers) debut all their new series. With its list of new releases for October 2021, however, HBO Max has decided that fall works just fine for new movies as well.
HBO Max’s new offerings this month are highlighted by two enormous Warner Bros. film releases. The Sopranos prequel The Many Saints of Newark opens things up on Oct. 1. The movie is getting a theatrical release as well but you can certainly just watch it via streaming to make Sopranos creator and film purist David Chase mad. Next up is the sprawling sci-fi epic Dune on Oct. 22. It’s long been thought that a faithful and suitably enormous Dune adaptation was impossible. Now it’s almost time to see if director Denis Villenueve pulled it off.

Even if the movies are the big blockbusters here, HBO Max isn’t letting its TV offerings go to waste. Arguably HBO’s biggest running drama, Succession, returns for a long-awaited third season on Oct. 17. Also mixed in to the streamer’s TV offerings are docuseries like 15 Minutes of Shame (Oct. 7) and What Happened, Brittany Murphy? (Oct. 15).
October will also be a good month for movie fans looking to check out some recent heavy hitters without buying a ticket. It: Chapter Two (Oct. 10), The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It (Oct. 21), and In the Heights (Oct. 28) all arrive this month.

I finally went ahead and made a reading list for Roy. He’s been around awhile, so there’s a lot of comics, especially since he tends to jump between books.
I’ve divided it into six different starting points-- each starting point should be good enough to jump into without having too much knowledge of what’s going. You can jump in at any of them and you’d be good to go (I actually recommend jumping in one of the middle ones and then going back, if you’re someone who prefers newer comics to older ones.)
I’ll include a little bit of info under some of the starting points for you to get a better idea of which one might be best for you to start with.
BOLD = necessary
Italics = not necessary, but recommended
normal = not necessary
STARTING POINT #0:
Before jumping into any starting point, I recommend you read Green Lantern (1960) #85-86. It’s a 1971 story, so I understand if you may be turned off from it at first, but it’s a classic story for a reason and it’s important in Roy’s history.
STARTING POINT #1:
These are 80s comics, and some of them might have older art. These include some of my favorite stories with Roy, but if you’re someone who prefers newer art and has a harder time getting into older comics, it might be better to come back to this later.

Armageddon 2001 (1991) #2
STARTING POINT #2:
I personally recommend you leave these comics till the end. I love Roy’s writing in them, but they’re very 90s, if you get what I mean, so a lot of the plots art harder to get into and understand at first.

POST-FLASHPOINT CONTINUITY:
If you really wanna know about Roy Harper of the current continuity, then like... these are really the only things I can kind of recommend lol (he really got screwed over bad in this continuity so uh yeah)
Irving Rameses Rhames (born May 12, 1959) is an American stage and screen actor. He is best known for his starring role as Luther Stickell in the Mission: Impossible film series and his supporting role as gang kingpin Marsellus Wallace in Pulp Fiction. He also appeared in Jacob's Ladder (1990), Dave (1993), Striptease (1996), Don King: Only in America (1997), Rosewood (1997), Con Air (1997), Bringing Out the Dead (1999), Baby Boy (2001), Dawn of the Dead (2004), Day of the Dead (2008), Piranha 3D (2010), and Father Figures (2017). He voiced Cobra Bubbles in the animated film Lilo & Stitch (2002). Rhames is a Golden Globe Award winner, as well as an Emmy Award and Screen Actors Guild Award nominee.
Early life and education
Rhames was born on May 12, 1959 in Harlem, New York City, the son of Reather, a homemaker, and Ernest Rhames, an auto mechanic. His parents were raised as sharecroppers in South Carolina. He was named after NBC journalist Irving R. Levine.
He entered New York's High School of Performing Arts, where he discovered his love of acting. After high school, he studied drama at SUNY Purchase, where fellow acting student Stanley Tucci gave him his nickname "Ving". Rhames later transferred to the Juilliard School's Drama Division (Group 12: 1979–1983) where he graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 1983.
Career
Rhames first appeared on Broadway in the play The Boys of Winter in 1984. He started out in film in Wes Craven's The People Under the Stairs (1991) as Leroy, he watched over Kevin Kline as Secret Service agent Duane Stevensen in Dave (1993), and he played Marsellus Wallace in Pulp Fiction (1994). He also played the buddy of George Clooney in “Out of Sight” (1998).
Rhames played Dr. Peter Benton's brother-in-law on the TV medical drama ER, a recurring role he filled for three seasons. He played ace computer hacker Luther Stickell opposite Tom Cruise in Brian De Palma's Mission: Impossible (1996). In 1997 Rhames portrayed the character of Nathan 'Diamond Dog' Jones in the popular film Con Air. and Muki in the Ice Cube film Dangerous Ground.
Rhames won a Golden Globe in 1998 for Best Actor – Miniseries or Television Film in HBO's Don King: Only in America. At the ceremony he gave his award to fellow nominee Jack Lemmon, saying, "I feel that being an artist is about giving, and I'd like to give this to you." Lemmon was clearly touched by the gesture as was the celebrity audience who gave Lemmon a standing ovation. Lemmon, who tried unsuccessfully to give the award back to Rhames, said it was "one of the nicest, sweetest moments I've ever known in my life." The Hollywood Foreign Press Association announced later that they would have a duplicate award prepared for Rhames. That moment was #98 on E!'s 101 Awesome Moments in Entertainment. The New York Times lauded Rhames for the act, writing that in doing so he "demonstrated his capacity for abundant generosity."
Rhames appeared in Striptease (1996) as the wisecracking bodyguard Shad, Bringing Out the Dead (1999), then reprised his Luther Stickell role for Mission: Impossible 2 (2000). He played Johnnie Cochran in American Tragedy (2000), the ex-con boyfriend of Jodie's mother in the John Singleton film Baby Boy, portrayed a gay drag queen in the television movie Holiday Heart, contributed his voice for the character of Cobra Bubbles in Lilo & Stitch (2002) and the subsequent TV series, and played a stoic cop fighting zombie hordes in Dawn of the Dead (2004) and Day of the Dead (2008) remakes. Rhames has also appeared in a series of television commercials for RadioShack, usually performing with Vanessa L. Williams.
In March 2005, Rhames played the lead role on a new Kojak series, on the USA Network cable channel (and on ITV4 in the UK). The bald head, lollipops, and "Who loves ya, baby?" catchphrase remained intact, but little else remained from the Savalas original.
Rhames voiced the part of Tobias Jones in the computer game Driver 3.
Reprising his Luther role, Rhames co-starred in Mission: Impossible III (2006), had a cameo appearance in Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol (2011), and played a major role in Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation (2015) and Mission: Impossible – Fallout (2018), the fifth and sixth films, respectively. He is the only actor besides Tom Cruise to appear in all six Mission: Impossible films. It was announced that he would have a role in the Aquaman-based show Mercy Reef, however due to the integration of The WB and UPN for the new network, CW, Mercy Reef was not picked up. Rhames played a homosexual, possibly also homicidal, firefighter who comes out of the closet in I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry. He narrates the BET television series American Gangster.
In the 2008 film Saving God, he played an ex-con who is released from prison a changed man looking to take over his father's former church congregation in a deteriorating neighborhood. Rhames stars in Phantom Punch, a biopic of boxer Sonny Liston released directly to DVD as well as The Tournament portraying a fighter out to win a no-rules tournament.
Rhames makes an appearance in Ludacris's song "Southern Gangstas" on his album Theater of the Mind. Rappers Playaz Circle and Rick Ross are also featured on the track.
In 2010, he filed a lawsuit against the producer of a film titled Red Canvas, claiming that he had only been paid $175,000 of a $200,000 contract.
He filmed the movie The Red Canvas with Ernie Reyes, Jr. and UFC lightweight contender Gray Maynard and Randy Couture.

The best version of Aquaman (Batman the Brave and the Bold) still isn't better than Namor. I don't hate Aquaman by any means, but his characterization is all over the place (alternating from lovable goofball to a pit of boiling rage and vengeance) and he just isn't anywhere near as compelling as Namor. The only thing Aquaman has over Namor is pure physical strength (He's strong enough to bench press the Earth) and his wife.
I don’t hate Aquaman, I knew about him long long before Namor and tried getting into the character, reading his comics, I watched all the DC Animated shows etc. But he just doesn’t do it for me, the character himself is not as compelling as Namor, he’s not nearly as deep.
With Arthur you have a classic tale of a lost prince returning to his rightful throne and taking his place as King. The very name Arthur, from King Arthur. The character was not nearly an outcast as much as Namor was, he grew up human, he looks like any other human and he is white. Also in the beginning Arthur was not even Half Human Half Atlantean as Namor was, he was a Human whose father did science experiments on him to allow him to breathe underwater. This is in his first issue ( where he also fights nazis like namor was doing years before) and I talk more about what Aquaman the Movie took from Namor here
Fun Comics #73
Arthur and later Orm, take alot of things from Namor and DC treats their Atlanteans better by giving them more world building. Unlike Marvel who lets Namor flounder, DC keeps Aquaman relevant and treats him like an A Lister.
The reason I would guess you see a disconnect between the different aspects of Arthur is that they constantly try to change him to be more like Namor, but he isn’t. Arthur is a Kind Character imo. He is a good man and most importantly unlike Namor, who is an Anti-Hero, Arthur is a Hero. period. He does not embody Anti-Hero status like Namor does and never will. However DC has been taking things from Namor since the beginning, just look at Black Adam’s character design, etc.
Now, Movie Aquaman takes it one step further and casts Momoa, who would have been a great Namor, and claim its taking inspiration from Peter David’s Aquaman run in the 90s, but when we look further back into that series we see more Namor similarities besides the fact that Namor is Biracial like Momoa.
You see, at the time of PAD’s Aquaman run, he had just left Marvel where Namor’s 90′s comic by Bryne, later art by Jae Lee, was drawing to a close. (1990 - 1995) By this point Namor has gone through and come out of his Savage Sub-Mariner run, where Jae Lee’s art left a impression on a lot of people, he gave Namor long wild hair, and had him more grimdarker than usual. It was the 90s.
Now begins Aquaman’s 90s (1994-2001) comic run and we see Arthur with longer hair, and a more savage attitude after he loses an hand and replaces it with a harpoon hand. Coincidence? Maybe. However from the numerous times I’ve seen how much has been taken from Namor, I’m not inclined to believe that.
So at this point we have PAD cranking out what some people will call a great time for Aquaman and he goes further than that, way back in 1990 he had already laid down the foundation for a definitive DC Atlantis and gives us its history in the Atlantis Chronicles.
(btw I highly rec the Atlantis Chronicles if you like fantasy stuff like this)
Now we come to a point where Aquaman has a definitive world, and he has a new personality, and from now on, he will always swing between the traditional Aquaman, and the AquaNamor personalities. Now I’m not nearly as well versed in Aquaman lore as I am in Namors but there was a definitive shift in his character and the old goofy Aquaman from the old Justice League cartoons is one part of the character and the newer more Namor like personalty is another part.
Ask: Me pointing our similarities between Aquaman and Savage Sub-Mariner
Ask: Me talking about the differences between hero aquaman and anti-hero namor
Brave and the Bold Aquaman is honestly my favorite version of the animated cartoons and Flashpoint Paradox is my least favorite, I like his big heartedness and he really reminds me of Marvel’s Hercules. As for physical strength? I’m not 100 % certain about that, Namor is very strong and has gone toe to toe with the Hulk who breaks worlds and lots of other stronger characters.
A recent video went into great detail explaining why Aquaman would beat Namor but they spent so much time researching Aquaman and gave his overview a full extra minute while rushing through Namor’s. In the end they state Aquaman’s telepathic ability (which imo is the only major difference in their powers, besides flight) renders Namor motionless and allows Aquaman to defeat him, to which I say bullshit. Namor has beaten the effects of mind control from the Purple Man, and has a very strong will. It was just a cop out to play favorites because in the end, the Aquaman vs Namor debate is just a popularity contest that Aquaman won long ago. Also if people bring up the 90s comic battle thats also a popularity contest that in the end Aquaman had to cheat to win.
