PANEL OF THE BRIGHTEST DAY #16: Now That's A Splash-Page

The eagle-eyed among you would have known Brightest Day #16 has been out for a few days now, so a spoiler-free panel from the recent issue is also overdue, as is Friday's Now That's A Splash Page contribution. Luckily, the wizardry of artist Ivan Reis let's me play catch-up by combining both;

A splash page of a splash-page, this the first moment of the new Aqualad donning his Aqua-gears is just all round cool.

At first I was a little apprehensive about the latest heroic addition to the Aqua-family, but the Brightest Day crew have easily made Aqualad one of the best new characters of the year.

But as this issue is full of so much Reis drawn Aqua-goodness, here is a panel of the man himself so all you Panel of the Brightest Day fans don't feel short-changed... 

Roll on Aquaman 2011!
