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.
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.
It’s a trap! Don’t fall for it!
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.
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.
I think Namor could stomp Aquaman, regardless of who wrote him.
DC sux!
Yeah, than u should rent the video game!
Actually, Aquaman DID beat Namor in one of those DC/Marvel crossovers about 5-6 yrs ago (Of course he needed help from a freaking KILLER WHALE jumping out of the water and landing on Namor!).
Isn’t Sub-Mariner the king of Atlantis? Then what is King Neptune king of? Wow, Neptune has a bunch of HOT daughters. But why does he spend his time hanging around with that talking crab?
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….
Looks like someone is reading IMAO. FoxTrot comic strip did one this past week on Jason’s Aquaman costume.
i much prefer Namor. Because i like to say his name: Sub-Mariner. With the accent on the second syllable so it sounds even cooler.
I’ve never heard of Namor or the Sub-Marniner.
