Aquacritic

My boss at work, tired of me belittling Aquaman, bought me Aquaman number 25 from October ’96. It sits right now on my coffee table in its protective sleeve, as I have not read a comic book in a long, long time, so I wish to savor the experience. As soon as I have some sufficient free time, I’m going to pour myself a brandy, put on some classical music, and read the comic from start to finish. I will then write a review of the comic and see if I have to recant my insults against the king of Atlantis.

  1. Well, Frank, it shouldn’t be all that bad. The series at that time was being written by Peter David, one of the better comics scribes and a pretty good sci-fi/fantasy author as well. Hope you enjoy it.

  2. Your boss’ mind is being controlled by ninjas. They are trying to weaken you by exposing you to Aquaman.
    Take the cover off and wrap it around a copy of Soldier of Fortune or Penthouse. When the Ninjas see you reading they will attack, unaware that you have been building your manliness.

  3. The Aquaman in the new JLA cartoons is pretty badassed.
    He has a harpoon replacing his right(left?) arm, and he is more muscular than Superman! (O_o)
    Also he actually let the bad guy fall to his death at the end of the episode.

  4. Anyone remember that Superfriends cartoon from the 70’s? They had Superman, Wonderwoman, Aquaman, et al.
    I always thought Aquaman was a woosie because he just had big looking muscles, he needed fish and whales and jellyfish and stuff to do his real work….let the Aquaman thing die already, he’s a proven woosie. He probably couldn’t even kill one or two ninjas or monkeys…
    sheeesh….
