Aquaman by Geoff Johns Omnibus

The book is gorgeous and feels rock solid. The arcs within are fantastic. This was my introduction to Aquaman and Geoff Jones, and I am hankering for more of both.

Geoff Johns logra darle a un personaje sujeto de varias burlas una nueva cara, más ruda, imponente y que te recuerda el por qué alguien que controla el 70% del planeta merece todos los elogios.Una lectura bastante entretenida y rápida a pesar de contar con más de 600 páginas.

Ce tome à la taille raisonnable réintroduit Aquaman dans l'univers DC, post Flashpoint/New 52. Geoff Johns sait écrire des aventures de super-héros pour tous publics, le tout est facile à appréhender et très fun à lire, et accessible à tout nouveau lecteur.Ivan Reis et Paul Pelletier se complémentent admirablement au pinceau. L'univers aquatique est fascinant, même si beaucoup se passe également à la surface. Quelques apparitions de la Justice League pour les fans, et une galerie de vilains limitée mais bien développée.

This book collects the amazing run of Geoff Johns in Aquaman.Many consider it definitive runs of Aquaman and it was my entry point to Aquaman as a whole. I have now fallen in love with the character and its world.The omnibus itself is amazing. You're getting quality here. it's also important to note that this is the ONLY omnibus Aquaman has to this day.After reading this I recommend reading the Jeff Parker run following this run to eventually get to the Dan Abnett run in Rebirth, another run considered one of the best.

For decades Aquaman was considered a joke, all that ended when Geoff Johns took over the book. As a matter of Fact he asked for the book, people at DC told him it was a waste of time. He proved them all wrong.Geoff did wonders, in short time Aquaman became a seller and Nobody anymore considered Arthur Curry as a joke, he never was actually, but Thanks to Johns that bad reputation is now history.Not only Johns makes Aquaman great, but he also manages to drag from obscurity the character of Mera. In few issues He establishes Mera as one of the greatest female characters in DC. Mera has been in comics since 1963, but till Johns she was just Aquaman's wife. Incredible how past writers did not realize the potential she had. Johns in his run makes her the co-lead of the book, and for the heavens Mera is indeed Awesome and a real badass.Johns manages to make new contributions to the Aquaman lore from the Trench to the Others.He avoids the trapping of too many supporting casts, focuses on Arthur and Mera and their iconic relationship. Johns run is also a repudiation of all that hindered Aquaman in the past. He makes him clean shaven and majestic looking not the scuffy old looking character of the 90's. The art deserves a mention as well, Reis does a terrific job.Johns deserves all credit and in my opinion he re-created Aquaman, what many in comics saw as impossible, Johns achieves in from the start of his run.I recommend this book as an Aquafan, as a comic fan. This is the entry point in Aquaman, although I must warn, that runs that followed this, will never reach the level of Johns. As a matter of fact neither any runs that preceded it. The book also serves as basis for the movie that became the best DC movie at Box office.This is the Best Aquaman you can get and probably for a longtime. A run that did Justice to one of the most unfairly underrated characters in comics. Finally the reputation of the King of the 7 seas and of his Queen has been restored by an amazing Writer.
