FLASHPOINT FRIDAY: “This whole damned war is a mistake!”

The time has finally come for Aquaman and Wonder Woman to bring their battle face to face. But before all hell is unleashed, Diana has a startling revelation to share with Arthur that might change all the reasons behind why they’re even at war. Can Arthur look past the fact that Mera’s blood is on Diana’s hands to spare the lives of millions? Or is he so blinded by his desire for vengeance that he doesn’t care how many more lives are lost in the crossfire?

FLASHPOINT: EMPEROR AQUAMAN #3 written by Tony Bedard and with art by Vicente Cifuentes and Diana Egea, reveals the complex plot of betrayal that has led, what should have been two of Earth’s greatest heroes, to fight to the death. The final issue of this miniseries goes on sale next week.

FLASHPOINT FRIDAY: “If we take no risk, General, how will we ever avenge my queen?”

The war between the Atlanteans and Amazons is almost here as Aquaman invades New Themyscira. With Mera dead, Aquaman has his heart set on revenge. He sends Mera’s sister, Siren, and his brother, Prince Orm, into the Palace of Furies and onto the frontlines of battle. Will the two of them manage to avenge Mera’s death and get out alive or will Arthur have to step up and fight for himself?

With a reveal that makes the war between Aquaman and Wonder Woman far more personal, FLASHPOINT: EMPEROR AQUAMAN #2 is written by Tony Bedard and features art by Vicente Cifuentes, Diana Egea, and Kyle Ritter.
