Join the guys as they discuss their initial thoughts and reactions to the new DC 52, a relaunch aimed towards bringing in new readers in the digital age.



What 80′s TV show is that opening theme song from?
More like early ’90s, although it did start in ’89. Quantum Leap. Starring the infamous Scott Bakula.
Yo so here’s the thing with Aquaman — he has a bad rep as of late, but there are a TON of awesome runs in his history. Depending on the type of storytelling you like, there’s something for everyone. I think the best is the lengthy PAD run in the early 90s. It’s one of the few runs I saved when I gave most of my comics away. That story that melds action with magic and weirdness with a big attitude. Very cool run.
But there’s so much more… the political intrigue of the Hooper run, the big creepy mystic fun of the Veitch run, the X-Files-meets-X-Men Sub-Diego era from the mid-00s… so much good stuff!!!
I was a big fan on JMS’ Aquaman & Demon team-up on Brave and the Bold. He made Aquaman a total badass, and the Jesus Saiz artwork was boss.
Oh yeah that was wonderful issue! Here’s the thing most people don’t realize — Aquaman is always a badass like that in his own book.
