Aquaman #1

silkcuts's Aquaman #1 - The Trench, Part One review

Aquaman will be making big waves

Geoff Johns really can make anyone care about any character he writes.  If you didn't like Aquaman before, beware this book, it might warm your heart.  
 
The book itself is extremely accessible for new readers, Johns crafts a vary simple and effective narrative that doesn't feel that way.  He writes the book for the reader to relate, even having a rude blogger interrupting Aquaman eating, since lets face it, no one has manners anymore and everything things their blog, twitterfeed, facebook, and so on is something for the world to hear.  This comic is a metaphorical tweet to the world that Aquaman can be cool.  
 
This was a great comic, both structurally and story.  Would I recommend it, sure if you want an Aquaman story.
Cheers

To probably no one's surprise, Aquaman delivers on its long-awaited relaunch as Geoff Johns and Ivan Reis give us an Arthur Curry who can easily carry his own series among the best. The creepy and well done introduction of a new threat really elevates this issue, and Reis' art is amazing throughout.Johns and Reis have effectively already done the work of selling readers on Aquaman with Blackest Night and Brightest Day, so many are coming into this with the belief that Aquaman can be a main playe...
