Aquaman #1

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

Here comes sexy Aquaman!!

First thing I would like to tell for all those who read this is ,I am very new to reading comics, I have just read a few comics about batman, superman. My hubby just gave a brief idea about the notion of “New 52” and from then I have got interest in knowing about other DC characters too. One among them being Aquaman.

First thing that fascinated me in reading this book was the name itself. I had been to a comic store and I was just browsing through and I found this book, just read 3 to 4 pages and from then my curiosity grew and got home the first issue. (which was a big shock to my hubby though. )

The story starts with introduction of enemy which was very different from all those I have read till now. It is bit scary too. They talk in different language which cannot be understood by humans. Meanwhile in the city a bunch of cops will be chasing thugs and suddenly they stop the car and say “what the hell is that?” and there comes the first appearance of Aquaman which I feel was a very sexy introduction. I really liked the art, it remains same throughout the book. It has also got a little bit of humor in it. Some guy in restaurant after seeing Aquaman asks a question that “do you talk to fish?” LOL :)

That apart there is a nice romantic scene in which Mera hugs Aquaman and the chemistry between them have come out really well.

Those villainous species are surprisingly man-eaters.woooooooo!!! That sent a chill through my spine. This made me go for the upcoming issues.

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...
