My favorite story arc(s) in the New 52 are probably 'The Others' and 'Throne of Atlantis' crossover.
One of the things that is intriguing to me in the New 52 is of the relationship between the surface world and the underwater world and how they see eye-to-eye. Another thing that's pretty cool in the new series is that were seeing a more modernized Aquaman, a more of a clean-cut warrior rather than a raggedy, bearded dude. With that said, I also like the new characters being brought into the mythos such as Murk and Urm, which is a step into expanding on the Atlantean world. Also like the new uniforms that the Atlanteans wear. For example, Tula. She appears to be more fashionable with her new suit and definitely seems more interesting as a character.
sidenote: I remember a lot of people shunning Aquaman and even putting him down in the CV forums, specifically on the Battle forums. Nowadays, after the reboot, I see a lot of those that despised him in the past starting to idolize him, more in a fanboy type of manner. I've been an Aqua fan since the beginning of my comic readings and don't need someone's two cents to help me turn sides. If you're not a waterman type of person than Aquaman's not for you, that's just the bottom line. If you just started liking him cause everyone else is then you're a follower and not a leader, there's no sense of you reading his comics. I surf, dive, fish, etc and love the ocean, so liking Aquaman is in my nature. There's no way around it. Just wanted to let that out.
