Aquaman & Mera and Marrina



I have been catching up on some comics I have missed in digital form, and I am currently reading Geoff Johns' New 52 Aquaman run.  I really like what I have seen so far.  Johns tackles a lot of the misconceptions about the character head on, in a fun and exciting way.  Aquaman's classic costume has rarely looked better than it does here, with Ivan Reis' amazing depiction. Mera get to really show off her abilities as well, it's a truly fun read.

  1. I really liked Johns' revamped Aquaman. I need to catch up on the issues after his run wrapped.

      Then maybe Hong Kong Phooey & Iron Fist?

  3. Aquaman (and his other title) were highlights of the otherwise dismal "New 52" era.

  4. As far as I'm permanently concerned, Marrina was unforgivably shafted by Marvel.

  5. @Harry Bean: Would you settle for the Golden Age Hydroman vs. Hydro-Man of the Sinister Six?

  7. Linda Brown? Oh, right! Spidey's long-lost mermaid foster cousin.*


    *I guess he and Aqualad didn't have much luck with their earlier search.

  8. Re: "...the deadliest army in the deep."

    Could it be...Billy's Sea Monkeys (from STF #792)?
