Aquaman, Volume 1: The Trench by Geoff Johns

4.0

Everyone who's mocked Aquaman for being a lame superhero should get a copy of the first issue in this collection. Instead of using The New 52 as an excuse to give the character a clean start, Geoff Johns struggles with its unpopularity -somebody actually asks him "How's it feel to be nobody's favorite super-hero?"- and the results are great. The action-packed 4-issue opening arc,"The Trench", is followed by two self-conclusive stories: one that hints a major storyline in the future, and one that focuses on Aquaman's girlfriend, Mera. Although the former is the worse (mostly because of the art work), the six issues are perfect for establishing Aquaman's new status quo. In Green Lantern, Geoff Johns and Ivan Reis proved to be one of the best creative teams at DC, and they prove it again by granting Aquaman the comeback the character deserved.
