Aquaman #3 - The Trench, Part Three

Of all the 52 that I've gone through so far I have to say that this title has been the best surprise of all of them. You're totally right that this is the way Aquaman should be handled.

I look forward to each issue in this one :)

this title deserves it's consecitive five stars

This is one of those series that really knows how to tell a fun story. It never fails to bring a smile to my face.

This is, without a doubt, my favorite New 52 DC comic next to The Flash.

Aquaman has been amazing. Now if only Superman was this good

@redbird3rdboywonder: superman is still superman, eventually it could be better or maybe it will just start hitting it hard about 6 issues from now and be better. ( not better than Aquaman).

Aquaman along with Barry Allen's new Flahs series, are gonna brake DC sales record before new year comes /o/ ... maybe one, two or for of the Bat-Family books might help lol like Batwoman or Batman or Nightwing or (as expected even tough is not directly connected to the bat family) Red Hood & The Outlaws.

I just wanna know more about his trident, does it let him fly?
 
I can see people who haven't seen Aquaman in action being dubious about his usefulness but the way he was treated after he saved people.....c'mon.

I love Aquaman <3

Nice review.

Aquaman approved!

Loving this series though new 52 Aquaman could learn a thing or two on how to handle douchey cops from Emperor Aquaman lol. Also, Aquaman and Mera are officially my favorite comics couple.

Aquaman rocks, totally loving this series but where is Aqua Lad?????

I felt like this whole issue was planting seeds for the future. I think this book will be mediocre until bigger things start happening. I feel more like were still being introduced. Like how Firestorm is- which was actually really good this week.

I see that Marine biologist proving to be a problem in the future. Loving Mera in this title. Its getting a little formula to see someone make a joke about Aquaman and then have him show how much of a badass he is to prove them wrong. Play it straight. If I'm buying the comic, I already think Aquaman is cool. Enough already!!

What? he literally just deputed?

Scott Lobdell was asked if he would appear in Teen Titans and said:

Eventually, I am certain. In fact, SCOOP HERE: I was originally asked to include him in the first issue -- one of our earliest conversations between me and the editors. He was going to be part of the Core Five! But then it was decided, if I recall, that he was going to be such an important player in another book, that it should be left up to that book's writer to define exactly who Aqualad is and how he fits into the world. If I were writing him over in TEEN TITANS, his adventures in the other book would conflict with the team book. So, for the sake of Kaldur's continuity and growth he will not be appearing in the book just yet. (That said, I can't wait for the day he's a Teen Titan! Is he an awesome character, or what?!)
And your welcome! LOL!

Sounds to me like he might show up in an arc of this book, or maybe something else.

Am I the only one who loved the classic "VUVUVUVUVUVU" sound that Aquaman does when he uses his telekinetic powers?

@HombreMan: Mmm, the sound was cool, but I have a personal hate to that times:

Batman = Bad joke, Dick = Nasty and ridiculous fishy underpants without anything else in the legs , Hawkman = weirdo guy in a bad bird costume, Aquaman ... no words

This series is doing a good job giving Aquaman something others tried to give him but never did it: Respect (and a serious look)

Wait Aquaman is good...I missed all three issues so far, maybe time to check them out!!!!

I'm so going to be broke with this comic.

Doesn't change what I meant to say but was to lazy to write.

Original Aqualad - Garth: Retconned out of existence (like Donna Troy or Wally West).

Recent Aqualad - Jackson Hyde: Will appear first in the current Geoff Johns' Aquaman title and then Teen Titans. Still exists (like Cassie Sandsmark or Bart Allen)

Hmm, it left me feeling underwhelmed but perhaps it’s because I missed the previous 2 issues, I might go back and check it out...

You really should, the only gripe I have is the amount of "People don't respect Aquaman and that's bad :(" going on.

Anyone remember "The Savage Sub-mariner"? (Short-lived series in the 70s  triple-anchored with the "comics code", a stupid costume and bad artwork.)
I have always thought that Aquaman could be "BadAss" without long hair, beard, and a fish-hook for a hand. (But, that was a good try!)  

Really, isn't his weapon more of a "Quindent" now? I think it looks cooler. Also: FOOD! MY FOOD!

I have been a Aquaman fan for as long as i can remember.. i am so jazzed with this new series. A really cant wait for each new issue.

@ntb1124:

the new aquaman series isnt good man...................... its bloody amazing

I will say that if Mera is still around and as much a part of the book as she currently is that the book needs to be renamed Aquaman and Mera. Right now its like having Flash and Green Lantern in a book together but only calling it the Flash. I love the book, but give the ginger some credit where credit is due.

Damn right.

The new Aquaman series has been a pleasent susprise

Who would of thought this would be good but great story and art this is a great book

looking forward to issue 4

@TheBlackHood: Completely agree. Mera is half the reason I love this book, and I do love it. Aquaman and Mera have the potential to be the Reed and Sue Richards of the DC Universe, so I hope they capitalize on that.

Seriously, I love this series. I was out of town last week, so I just got it today. When I was in the store I told my friend that I couldn't wait to read the next Aquaman issue and then that I couldn't believe those words had come out of my mouth. Johns is doing some great work.
