The world rightfully can\u2019t get enough of the Absolute Universe \u2014 easily one of the best and most talked about anthologies ever created for DC Comics<\/a>. It all began with the unyielding success of Absolute Batman, a series that introduced the most horrifying version of The Joker the world has ever seen, and also generated at least one direct spin-off: Absolute Catwoman, confirmed for 2026<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There’s something missing in that space, though. Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman and The Flash are all involved in their own Absolute series, sure, but there\u2019s at least one member of the Justice League who hasn\u2019t yet gotten his fair shake at shocking the masses, though things could change soon for King Arthur Curry of Atlantis a.k.a. Aquaman.<\/p>\n

Kelly Thompson, writer of the sensational Absolute Wonder Woman<\/a>, just injected a syringe full of hope and excitement into what could be on the way for a standalone Aquaman in the Absolute Universe, dropping some gems in a recent conversation with the Splash Pages Comic Book Club \u2014 also referencing her use of his Trident in her storytelling.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI certainly wouldn’t be able to say, but [he] certainly has been a part of the conversation. Like, people for sure are talking about it, and they wouldn\u2019t have let me put the Trident in there if they weren\u2019t open to that question. I can\u2019t say it\u2019s coming, but I think it\u2019s a part of the conversation, one hundred percent.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

That statement makes for strong odds regarding Aquaman, because one hundred percent leaves nothing to the imagination and is the definition of definitive, but is Thompson mixing concrete with coyness?<\/p>\n

As is often the case with comic book fans, let\u2019s have some conspiracy theory-level fun here. It\u2019s clear Thompson confesses Absolute Aquaman has been a part of active dialogue over at DC Comics, and that\u2019s fantastic to hear, because simply trying to imagine exactly how demented things could get for the King, and by his hand, is enough to get ecstatic over. But when Thompson mentions she \u201cwouldn\u2019t be able to say\u201d and that she \u201ccan\u2019t say it\u2019s coming\u201d, what exactly does that mean?<\/p>\n

On one hand, it could be taken at face value to mean she simply doesn\u2019t know if it\u2019ll happen or not but, on the other hand, one that\u2019s more fun to consider, is that she potentially knows Absolute Aquaman is indeed on the way and isn\u2019t embargoed from making that news public at this point in time. All fans of the Absolute Universe can do is hypothesize on the question of if and when, but at least, at minimum, DC Comics knows the Justice League isn\u2019t whole if Aquaman isn\u2019t getting in on the action, too.<\/p>\n

The Absolute Universe anthology is available at local comics shops and via subscription on DC Universe Infinite. <\/p>\n
