Without giving away too much of the story, this is a must-read for anyone whether you are LGBTQ+ yourself or not, because the troubles and turmoils of dealing with being a teenager while discovering superpowers only get amped up when one adds this extra layer of social commentary and self-discovery. You Brought Me the Ocean serves as both an origin story and a coming-out story, with heavy emphasis on Hyde's relationship with the school’s swim team captain Kenny Liu around the same time he discovers his ability to mentally manipulate water.
Hyde, growing up in New Mexico, is strangely kept away from two things by his mother water, and the truth about his father. In 2010, DC brought back Jackson Hyde, a Black New Mexican teen, as Aqualad. Jake is a reimagining of a 1960s Aquaman sidekick named Aqualad. The graphic novel gives readers a chance to go back to Aqualad's origins to not only discover how he came to be the hero he is, but how he came to terms with his sexuality as a young boy. You Brought Me the Ocean (2020) is a graphic novel, a coming-out romance set in the world of DC Comics.
While there have been numerous Aqualad's over time, this story is centered around Jackson "Jake" Hyde, the second to dawn the Aqualad name. The book itself, as mentioned above, is about Aqualad, Aquaman's ever-faithful sidekick, but as some fans know there is more than one water boy wonder.
