Comics you should own - Aquaman
Brian's been hoggin' the blog lately, so I'll throw in another critically-acclaimed* edition of Comics You Should Own!
*Critical acclaim may exist only in the author's head.
Aquaman by Peter David (writer), Marty Egelund (penciller, issues 0-4, 6-8, 11-14, 16, 18-20, 22-23, 25), Jim Calafiore (penciller, issues 5, 10, 15, 17, 21, 24), Gene Gonzalez (penciller, issue 3), Casey Jones (penciller, issue 8), Joe St. Pierre (penciller, issue 9), Alan Caldwell (penciller, issue 20), Derec Aucon (penciller, issue 23), Brad Vacanta (inker, issues 0-2), Howard Shum (inker, issues 0, 3-9, 11-14, 16, 18-20, 22-23, 25, Peter Palmiotti (inker, issues 10, 17, 21, 24), Craig Gilmore (inker, issue 8), Rodney Ramos (inker, issue 9), Mark McKenna (inker, issue 15), Charles Barnett (inker, issue 15), with covers by Tom Grummett (#3), Mike Mignola (#6), Walt Simonson (#15), Dave Johnson (#19), Phil Jimenez (#20), Brian Steelfreeze (#22) when the issue's penciller didn't do them. Phew. That's a lot o' people!
DC, 26 issues (0-25; the zero issue comes after #2), cover dated August 1994-October 1996
A while back, I told you that you really ought to go out and buy Atlantis Chronicles, Peter David's history of Atlantis. Brian then told you how you pick them up, cheap. Continuing in the same vein, I now give you Peter David's Aquaman, the only Aquaman I really like. Bill Reed said he liked the McLaughlin/Hooper/Dvorak run of 13 issues from Dec. 1991-Jan. 1993, and he blamed DC for shoving that out of the way so they could get David. Well, that might be true, but Atlantis Chronicles finished in September 1990, and David's first Aquaman story, Time And Tide, didn't come out until December 1993, even many months after McLaughlin's run got cancelled, so I don't know what the machinations at DC were like in the mid-1990s. However, McLaughlin's run, though decent enough, isn't really that good. Making Arthur the ambassador to the UN is a neat idea, and issue #8, with the disciple of the NKVDemon from the Batman books, is a very good issue, but overall - meh. Even David's "Year One" story, the aforementioned Time And Tide, isn't that good, largely because David goes way too far with the clever humor he's good at. Well, yes, he's good at it, but a little goes a long way, Mr. David. When he took over the Aquaman ongoing (with another issue #1 - it's not a product of the 21st century, unfortunately), he really hit his stride, and the first 26 issues of his run form a coherent and fascinating story.
You don't really need to read Atlantis Chronicles to enjoy Aquaman, but it wouldn't hurt. That's why I looked at that one first, even though I tend to do these in alphabetical order (I'm anal - sue me). David continues the themes he laid out in the Chronicles book - mainly brother fighting brother for the future of Atlantis, but also the idea of curses and never escaping the past. As I mentioned in my review (or dare I say - criticism?) of Atlantis Chronicles, this is all very Shakespearean and Greek tragedy-esque, and if that's the kind of stuff you like, this is a good read. I have a Master's Degree in History, and this kind of thing is neat-o, especially when it's entertaining.
The most famous thing David did, of course, was lose Arthur's hand. It's still lost, but now it's some watery-hand thing that makes it look like he never lost it. As Vulko puts it in issue #0, people around Atlantis think he's going to regrow it, as if he were Starfishman, but it looks like DC has done the next best thing. That's really not the point (ooh, a pun - Brian will be so proud) of giving Arthur a hook hand (say in that creepy urban legend voice!). It may have been a "let's make Aquaman mean" marketing ploy, but in the hands of a good writer like David, it becomes a symbol of both sides of Arthur's nature - his underwater and land side, a duality that all writers of Aquaman ought to bring up, since it's such an interesting part of his personality. Arthur uses the hook to spear shrimp in one scene, and he spears a person in another, and wonders at the implications of it. The fact that hunters use similar harpoons to spear dolphins in issue #4 (guest-starring Lobo!) is a subtle reminder that Arthur is both an Atlantean and a surface-dweller, even though David has changed his ancestry so that he's not descended from a light-house keeper anymore.
After getting rid of Arthur's hand (though the machinations of a global terrorist named Charybdis, who only lasts two issues but is extremely creepy), David slowly introduces the plot elements that will form his grand narrative. It's all about uniting the seven lost cities of Atlantis, of which Poseidonis is only the capital. It's also about the real reason for humanity's presence on Earth, as slaves for intergalactic scavengers who are returning to reap their harvest. Only Aquaman can save us!!!! It's not the greatest plot, but plots are a dime a dozen - what matters is how David pulls it off, and his narrative is full of realpolitik, and stands as an interesting take on what it means to be more than a hero, which, after all, Arthur is. He's not necessarily always the "good guy," because he is doing things for the greater good and doesn't have time for legal niceties. David puts it in our minds that maybe Arthur is insane, or maybe he has lost touch with reality, or maybe he's just not that nice a guy. When Garth goes missing (we think he's dead, but he's not), Arthur doesn't go and look for him, believing that Garth is an adult and can look after himself. Arthur is often petulant and confused, not like a hero at all, and, especially in the early issues, we find ourselves wondering why anyone cares about this guy, especially Dolphin, who is a major player in the title and gets busy with Arthur about halfway through the run. This crankiness might put off Aquaman purists, but for someone whose only experience with him was from the Superfriends and some of the stuff from the '40s, I liked what David was doing - he was humanizing Arthur, and making him less a heroic figure and more of a man who wants to do the right thing but can't always figure out how because of his stubbornness. These kinds of people are much more interesting than people who always do the right thing.
Arthur finds out he has a son, and the Atlantis Chronicles theme begins again. You may think that David isn't being terribly subtle, but he is: he doesn't beat us over the head with the fact that Arthur, like his own father (Atlan the wizard) is an aloof, mythical figure to Koryak (his son). We're allowed to see how poorly Arthur relates to Koryak, even though he tries, and how Koryak rejects him not because of who he is, but because of who Koryak thinks he is. Arthur's poor parenting skills are evident when he confronts Arthur Jr., who has been living in Thanatos's dimension with Mera. He tells him, "Pray you're not my son. Because if you are, you're caught up in a prophecy that will doom you to a life of conflict." (To which Mera replies, "Thank you, dear. Very inspiring.") The point is - Arthur tells the kid the truth, but he's not terribly nice. This sort of thing makes his growth throughout the title, to where he can reach out to Garth and try to make amends with Koryak, nice to see and more believable. He's learning how to be a father, and he's also learning how to be a son (in his interactions with Atlan, when he shows up). He's trying to break the Atlantean curse the only way he knows how, and it's interesting to read.
Koryak, of course, gets caught up in the curse, when he allows King Thesily to die and leads the Poseidonisians (?) out of the city after it's shaken by earthquakes (all part of the old prophecies about Atlantis rejoined the surface world - see how David ties everything together?), eventually breaking Tritonis's law about the tunnels between the cities and meeting Kordax, the blond scaly monster dude from Atlantis Chronicles. Kordax uses his mental powers to enslave the refugees, and this leads to a fight between Koryak and Garth, a battle between Arthur's "sons." The twists and turns that the story takes to get all the principals in one spot are what make reading a long David run so fulfilling - individually, the issues have action and humor and fun stuff, but over the long haul, it all fits into a longer story, even if you didn't see it coming. By the final few issues of the run, Arthur has united the various cities of Atlantis (and again made some hard choices about his loyalties), recruited many of DC's underwater heroes, including the Sea Devils and Power Girl (she's related to Atlan somehow), and fought off the Justice League, Lobo, Green Lantern alone, lost to Thanatos (!), and finally, thwarted an alien invasion not by using his fists (although there's a lot o' fighting) but by using his brains and his political skills.
There's plenty of David humor, as I mentioned, and the best issue of the run might be #14, the Underworld Unleashed crossover with the new and improved Major Disaster. I don't know if this is the very first appearance of the new and improved version, but it might be, which is interesting considering that he's hanging out with the Justice League these days. This issue is dripping with irony, and it has one of the better "butterfly effect" stories I've seen. It's really neat to see all the elements come together, especially because you're not totally sure where it will lead. Arthur fights plenty of powerful monsters and bad guys, and although Manta doesn't show up, Thanatos and Ocean Master do. It's action-adventure on the grand scale, and coupled with the humor, makes it a fun read despite the dark undercurrents. Even the most gruesome scenes (when Arthur loses his hand, for instance) are laced with dark humor.
Many people might get caught up on the art. I happen to like Egelund and Calafiore, but Egelund especially typifies mid-1990s "Image" art. His women are petite except for the gigantic breasts, and occasionally border on the grotesque (check out Wonder Woman on the cover to issue #16. His style flows well, however, and despite some of the contortions he puts the characters through, it's never that distracting, like some artists - *coughLiefeldcough* - I could name. Calafiore's underwater scenes are wonderful, and he has a real talent for drawing sea life - a must in a comic like this. As I am not an art critic, most of the time I can live with unspectacular art if the story is good, and although the art on Aquaman hasn't aged well, it's still pleasant to look at.
David wrote Aquaman for another 20+ issues, but the remainder of his run wasn't as strong as these issues are. His run also ended sloppily, as he had a falling-out with DC, the details of which I don't know. This incarnation of the title lasted until issue #75 (I think that was the last issue), and now we have another title, which is, what, in the 30s? The aforementioned Mr. Reed said that he reads Aquaman as an Arthurian hero, which is not a bad way to put it. That being said, I'm not sure what his objection with David's run is, especially these issues, which seem to me to be the epitome of an Arthurian Grail Quest. David's Aquaman is a powerful story that gives us many facets of Arthur's personality and also examines what it means to be a king even when you're not ruling anything. None of the run has been collected in trades, but I can't imagine the issues are that high-priced. Check them out next time you're browsing!

Oh, I dunno, I liked David's Hulk, but not his Aquaman... it read more like Namor. His stuff's alright, his Aquaman was middlin', I guess, but not really my cup of tea. The art was also alright... well, Egelund's was; Calafiore's is incredibly difficult to look at. Aquaman is Arthurian fantasy, definitely, but it's also wacky 60's superhero pop. I'm sure there's ways to have the two intermingle.
Yeah, I prefer McLaughlin. Mwahaha!
Dude...Aquaman?
No. I'm not even going to read your reasoning on this one.
Because it's Aquaman.
You sold me on Alias and Animal Man (wait, are you doing these things in alphabetical order?) but there's no f'n way you're going to spin Aquaman into a "must own."
No. F'n. Way.
Guy: Yes, I'm doing them in alphabetical order. It's just easiest. And sorry about the lack of love for Aquaman. These comics won't change the world or anything, but if you want high-speed action-adventure, you can't really go wrong with them. I like some summer action movies, and these issues are like the better examples of the genre. I hope you like the next selection!
C'mon, who doesn't love Aquaman?
David wrote Aquaman for another 20+ issues, but the remainder of his run wasn't as strong as these issues are. His run also ended sloppily, as he had a falling-out with DC, the details of which I don't know.
I once pushed PAD's buttons on the matter; and here's what he had to say:
I- First
"Two corrections to the above.
First, I didn't write the story that retconned Aquaman's history so that he was no longer the son of the lighthouse keeper. That was a single issue "The Legend of Aquaman," and I don't remember off hand who wrote it. "The Atlantis Chronicles" came after that, and incorporated the changes in Aquaman's canon that "Legend" had instituted. The character of Atlan was created partly to explain who the hell Aquaman's father was, since "Legend" left it an open question.
Second, I wasn't fired off "Aquaman." I quit for two reasons. Number one, I wanted to do a storyline in which Aquaman was "killed," believed dead for an extended period of time, Garth took charge of Atlantis, and then Aquaman was eventually brought back as a water-based being. The storyline was rejected. (People with memories of subsequent events will note the irony therein.) Number two, I was being given conflicting editorial dictates, such as that Aquaman should be shown as a leader of men but they wanted only solo adventure stories, or that there should be stories of Atlantean political intrigue, but nothing should be set in Atlantis. Frustrated, I threw in the towel around issue 48 or so and walked."
PAD
_______________________________
II- Then some other guy added his two cents; and this is what he had to say:

I assume you're referring to Obsidian Age where Aquaman appeared to be a water based being for at most 8 issues (most of which he wasn't even in), I really don't see the irony here in regards to your rejected idea. Your idea looked like it would have been a permanent change or at least a long lasting one with Orin becoming a water elemental.
----------------------------------
"Nope. Never intended as such. The water elemental storyline, as pitched, was going to last six issues, max, although I could have done it in four. It was going to end with Mera, fully out of her loony mindstate, being the thing that grounded Aquaman back in humanity. He was going to be restored to normalcy, including having his hand back and intact (since, to my mind, the harpoon had more than served its purpose), but he was going to turn governing of Atlantis permanently over to Garth, while acting as a sort of roving ambassador for Atlantean interests.
That was the plan, at least."
PAD
Someone, I think it was MarkAndrew, once pointed out that if you've got this Aquaman character who lives in a kingdom underwater but can go on land and is a superhero and can explore anywhere and you DON'T have him having fantastic adventures, you've made a mistake. My problem with PAD's Aquaman, in retrospect, is that he turned him into Yet Another angry superhero. Emphasize what makes Aquaman unique, not what makes him like Batman with a beard.
And the harpoon thing was retarded.
Charybdis was a really fun villain who was later reintroduced as (and I'm not joking here) "Pirana Man" during Eric Larsen's terrible beyond terrible run on the book.
Joe: Yep. That was me.
I like Peter David. really I do. But I can't stomach any take on Aquaman that doesn't involve his ridin' around a Giant Seahorse with Aqualad and Aquagirl and Sparks, the Aquadog and having fantastic adventures.
PAD's Aquaman jes' felt too damn Sub-marinery. Aquaman doesn't NEED to be a HARDCORE BADASS! Comics already done GOT a HARDCORE UNDERWATER BADASS! If you can't do underwater adventure like God 'n nature 'n Julie Schwartz intended without having your protaginist end up as the 5 course buffet for phiranas... Well, Aquaman ain'tcho book. (I didn't care so much for the 70's Aparo stuff, neither. Though Black Manta's one HAYULL of a design concept.)
Plus, well, this wasn't drawn by Ramona Fradon or Nick Cardy, and unless you can get God or Alex Ross, any artist tryin' to fill Cardy and Fradon's shoes is gonna end up looking a little like day-old flounder.
It reminds me of one of John Byrne's occassionally good lines, where he pointed out that PAD often seems to have a story to tell, and he tells it in the book he is assigned, whether it fits that book or not.
Which is how we got the Aquaman run as well as the fiery angel version of Supergirl.
This is not a big deal if you really like the stories, but yeah, it probably would work better with more appropriate characters.
How much would the #0 issue of Aquaman be worth?
I like Dilbert and this is what came up when i searched it
I have officially been looking for such a comic website
http://badasscomics.blogspot.com/
I'm so close to get Aquaman's comic books entire collection I just need the episode #43 to achieve my goal.
