Okay, I admit, I did read some issues of Aquaman over the years, but never really followed it regularly. No particular reason, to be honest. But, I decided to check out Geoff Johns an Ivan Reis' relaunch under the New 52. I am glad I did. Johns is up to his usual standard of work. Good character moments, giving Arthur a little bit of a boost in the realm of power. Ivan Reis keeps his end of the deal up, as well. Great details, backgrounds, etc. His Mera is striking. The art on issue 6 was a little off. It's credited as Reis with breakdowns and Joe Prado with finishes. I don't know what the deal is, because usually each of those guys is a strong artist and storyteller.
The 'villains' in this first arc, the Trench, are dangerous, just looking for a way to survive, and Reis' designs are just awesome.
I hope the books stays strong!
