For decades Aquaman was considered a joke, all that ended when Geoff Johns took over the book. As a matter of Fact he asked for the book, people at DC told him it was a waste of time. He proved them all wrong.

Geoff did wonders, in short time Aquaman became a seller and Nobody anymore considered Arthur Curry as a joke, he never was actually, but Thanks to Johns that bad reputation is now history.

Not only Johns makes Aquaman great, but he also manages to drag from obscurity the character of Mera. In few issues He establishes Mera as one of the greatest female characters in DC. Mera has been in comics since 1963, but till Johns she was just Aquaman's wife. Incredible how past writers did not realize the potential she had. Johns in his run makes her the co-lead of the book, and for the heavens Mera is indeed Awesome and a real badass.

Johns manages to make new contributions to the Aquaman lore from the Trench to the Others.

He avoids the trapping of too many supporting casts, focuses on Arthur and Mera and their iconic relationship. Johns run is also a repudiation of all that hindered Aquaman in the past. He makes him clean shaven and majestic looking not the scuffy old looking character of the 90's. The art deserves a mention as well, Reis does a terrific job.

Johns deserves all credit and in my opinion he re-created Aquaman, what many in comics saw as impossible, Johns achieves in from the start of his run.

I recommend this book as an Aquafan, as a comic fan. This is the entry point in Aquaman, although I must warn, that runs that followed this, will never reach the level of Johns. As a matter of fact neither any runs that preceded it. The book also serves as basis for the movie that became the best DC movie at Box office.

This is the Best Aquaman you can get and probably for a longtime. A run that did Justice to one of the most unfairly underrated characters in comics. Finally the reputation of the King of the 7 seas and of his Queen has been restored by an amazing Writer.
