Today is also new comic book day and I feel the need to share the awesomeness of the new Aquaman series. I picked up issue #5 today and it didn't fail to disappoint once again. Geoff Johns has basically turned Aquaman into a Prince Namor type character, with a brooding personality and a no nonsense attitude. Since I'm a big Namor fan, this new and improved Aquaman works for me (not that I disliked the character before).
The new series pokes fun at the fact that Aquaman is largely a misunderstood character in the new DC universe. There is a great scene in issue #1 where he walks into a local seafood restaurant for lunch and orders the fish n' chips. The staff start saying things like "are you allowed to eat fish? Don't you talk to fish?" , to which he snaps back "I don't talk to fish!"
Couple a new and improved Arthur Curry with exceptional art and man-eating fish people and you've got one of the best new comic book series out there right now. Highly recommended to anyone who who likes a good super hero romp. Makes me wish I had my own trident.
