Get all of your snickering out of the way now because Aquaman in the New 52 kicks ass!
The story does a great job of almost putting Aquaman in our world, people are always making fun of him and don't understand his powers. He proves he's a badass by deflecting bullets off of his skin, flipping an armored car with his trident, and even eating fish!
Paired with his queen, Mera, Aquaman must fight a deadly unknown army from the depths of the Trench, who have come to feed upon the flesh of the land dwellers. In Volume 1, Aquaman also must rely on help from his past to decode an ancient message that threatens the safety of Atlantis.
This is one of the best New 52 titles released! Geoff Johns and Ivan Reis (Blackest Night) were the perfect duo to handle this title! Johns, DC's golden boy, pokes fun at all of the old Aquaman jokes and shows you why he's awesome!
I like the depth (no pun intended) of the characters in this story, which is one thing I definitely did not expect to get. Aquaman has a tough time finding where he fits in. He's unwelcome on land and he doesn't feel at home in Atlantis, but no matter which one is in danger, he springs to save it without question and without being too whiny about it.
As strange as it sounds, Aquaman Vol. 1: The Trench gets a 10 out of 10 Tridents!
