I like it specifically because it's so far removed from any preconceived notions people might have about "the guy who can talk to fishies." You're not cracking jokes around this guy-- just hoping he keeps "that thing" (options 1-3 include an eel and a spear) away from you. On the other hand, there is a bit of Sub-Mariner menace I wouldn't want to see played out in long form. I like my Aquaman friendly and accessible, with moments of "oh dang badassery" hinted at here. Too much of the latter is trying to hard and/or aping Namor.Diabolu Frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685199809207954223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4817894286745324495.post-16078430299664913542010-04-11T00:03:07.308-05:002010-04-11T00:03:07.308-05:00I love Darwyn Cooke.

The New Frontier is one of my all time favorite books--not just comics, but favorite novels!<br /><br />That said, this isn't a very appeasing Aquaman. There's nothing really Aquaman-ish about it. Nice image; just not Aquaman.Count Drunkulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18130778855882160092noreply@blogger.com
