## DCโ Comics Weighs an ‘Absoluteโค aquaman’ Series, Balancing Fan Demand with Line Strategy
DC comics is considering an “Absoluteโ Aquaman” installment, but โthe timing remains aโค key factor, according to a recent report. Whileโข fans have expressedโค strong interest in a โขdefinitive collection of Aquaman’s stories within the “Absolute”โ format, DC is carefully evaluating whether the characterโ currently has enough sustained momentum to support a dedicated series โขalongside the existingโข line.
The “Absolute” line,known for its high-quality presentation andโค comprehensive collections,has been expandingโ cautiously.DC has prioritized a โmeasured rollout, increasingโ from threeโ to six booksโ over six โฃmonths, with “Absolute Green Arrow” andโค “Absolute Catwoman” still awaiting confirmed release dates. โThis deliberate pace aims to maintain freshness and avoid overwhelming readers. The question surrounding Aquaman isn’t a matter of the character’sโ worthiness โค- acknowledging he’d be โฃthe only foundingโค justice League member withoutโ an “Absolute”โ edition โ- but rather ensuring a compelling and solid foundation for a successful โseries.
A new *Aquaman* ongoing title launched in โคJanuary, but historically, โAquaman has struggled to support โคmultiple concurrent series. *Aquaman and theโ Others*, tied to the Newโค 52 *Aquaman* comic, didn’tโ even reach a full 12 issues. DC recognizes the โneed to avoid rushing โa project that could dilute the goodwill the “Absolute Universe” has cultivated.
The publisherโ is seeking the “right angle” before committing to an *Absolute Aquaman*โ book,recognizing the importance of delivering a collection that meets the highโ standards of the line and satisfies fan expectations.
