Aquaman #1 and 2 are amazing

And to think I was gonna skip this series.

It's that good? I never a Aquaman comic before but people keep telling me he ain't no joke as far back as right before the new 52.

Yeah dude, the first thing new 52 aquaman talks about is how noone takes him seriously

Yo it is? I was reading Aquaman New 52, got kinda boring without Manta

Don't trust his opinion. He's from Aqua City.

I look at Marvel and I have no clue who anyone is anymore or where all the OG heroes went.

I look at DC and I'll just wait to see if they can figure themselves out.

I'm a regular reader of trades, but pick and choose stuff from decades ago and modern times. This New 52 idea was such a joke. It's insane some of the choices they made with the characters. Complete lack of common sense and understanding of what made these characters work. Just got done reading Trinity, which was pretty awful, same with Convergence. Getting ready to start Forever Evil. I'm expecting more of the same, but I already bought it, so

I've also been watching Comics Explained on YouTube talking about the latest Secret Wars saga

I gave up on Aquaman after the zero issue where they damn near repeated the exact same beats from Johns' first issue on Aquaman about how he's really cool and that whole talking to the fishes thing is a misconception and not representative of what Aquaman is because he's actually really cool and you should really give the character another chance because he's just so damn cool.

Maybe instead of trying to make us believe how cool he is, they should start writing good stories and then the rest will follow. But that's something DC has been refusing to accept, similar to how they keep fukking up Superman every time they believe they need to make him "cooler" instead of just getting someone to write better stories.

I haven't read any solo Superman books in the New 52 era, but things I've read about what they've done with the character sound appalling.

Maybe you should actually read the book before making comments like this.

 

[MenacingMonk]

I thought Batman 2 was all right.

Justice League one shot was basic

Like I said, I didn't care at all about the zero issue so I'm not reading the rest.

 

[Mr. Negative]

wait, so.....

Spoiler: :MJLOL:

Solomon Grundy showed up, beat up two lite superman level folks, knocked one into a mini-statue of liberty and broke it in half....

Batman shows up, judo tosses Grundy, then knocks him out by putting his foot on his throat!?

"I don't even trust Alfred."

"It's not impossible. It's Batman."

Get this Batfag masturbation material all the fukk the way the fukk outta here!

[Mr. Negative]

@AquaCityBoy you're right.

Aquaman was good, for what it was.

I said it a few weeks back, but I'm kinda tired of seeing Black Manta.

And while, yeah, it's not as good as Johns' Aquaman, I'm not gonna hold that against it.

 

[Bigbigguy]

I'm mindblown how marvel are turning something that should be good like diversity into a sales gimmick

will this shyt be remembered as the hologram covers of the 10's?

The Big "Civil War II" #1 Death, Preparing a New Marvel NOW!

Marvel's Editor in Chief: "Let me be very clear: We carefully considered the fact if we were going to kill Rhodey, a beloved African-American character, at a time when we are taking great pains to diversify our universe -- with characters like Black Panther, Miles Morales, Sam Wilson, Kamala Khan, Amadeus Cho, Robbie Reyes, Moon Girl and more playing prominent roles -- we needed to have a long-term plan that proved we intend to stay on that course, and we needed to be able to unveil parts of that plan quickly. Which we will."

Enter: dark-skinned Rihanna as Lady Warmachine!!!
