Aquaman #1

pauldro952's Aquaman #1 - The Trench, Part One review

Hail to the King of Atlantis

I know this is late but I still want to contribute.

I heard that Geoff Johns was going to make Aquaman cool, I was laughing saying yeah right. I bought this issue to see what he means and if he can really make Aquaman awesome.

The Good: Right off the bat Geoff Johns has Aquaman deal with all those jokes and jabs, then he gets into the action proving that Aquaman has a place in the DCU, that Aquaman is more than a bubble maker, that he has story and character depth, Ivan Reis' art is great, I love the detail. Even Mera is not made to be Aquaman's sidekick but an equal.

The Bad: Not enough Aquaman and Ivan Reis.

Verdict: Aquaman Surprised me in September proving that he is cool and that he will blow us away with a great story and action.

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...
