You hear jokes about Aquaman all the time, I think this iconic creative team has worked very hard on changing peoples minds. They have succeeded and passed all expectations like no one has been able to do with this history rich character in a very long time. I also do not count the Aquman that lost his arm, lame. Geoff Johns proves over and over that he is a maestro of words and Ivan Reis with the help of the talented Joe Prado lay some very exciting pages down for your enjoyment. This book gets hotter every month it is released and I do not see it cooling off for quite a while. Up next Atlantis!

Batman: The Dark Knight #5 (D.C. Comics) Paul Jenkins Writer/David Finch Pencils/Richard Friend Inks **I was not happy with this title in the beginning but it is not only growing on me, it has that McFarlane-esq Spider-Man feel to the title now. What was expected of Finch**
