Aquaman 5: Sea of Storms

While Geoff Johns is good at the epic story telling, Parker’s run is especially good at more “daily life” stories for Aquaman and Mera. These are not so much grim adventures as they are just having fun with the characters in their world. The humor—especially in the reunion issue—is fantastic. However, individual mileage may vary depending on your expectations for storytelling style. While this is one of my favorite trades, it falters a bit on the art. A lot of good, but it takes the artist a while to get a handle on Aquaman and Mera’s faces. But the writing is fun enough for me to forgive the faults.

Geoff Johns isn’t writing Aquaman, but that doesn’t mean that the “good stuff” was only in his volumes. Volume 5 is big on the action and intrigue you’d hope for in an Aquaman book, but it does setup for Vol.6 Maelstrom. Recommended in company with V.6.

I did like the Geoff Johns run and also this volume. I didn't mind at all that they were stand-alone stories. The high school reunion story was a nice look into Aquaman's past. I'll get the next one in the future and also look out for any news on The Rise of the Seven Seas that will hopefully happen in the future.

I was worried that Aquaman would fall off after the great Geoff Johns run. But Jeff Parker has really made the character his own. Over a great story arc,

Aquaman at his best

item as described. very good read. proves once again that writing does make a book/superhero

Good story. But Amazon seems to be less careful with graphic novels. And don't seem to realize people do collect these as much as comics. The spine had some damage.

Aquaman is reborn in a good unique way.

This is a present & was chosen by the person.

love these new 52 Aquaman stories

good book

Dopo la rivalutazione di Aquaman nei New 52 scritti da Geoff Johns e illustrati da Ivan Reis, mi spiace dire che con questo si ritorna al vecchio Aquaman barzelletta dei supereroi. Sia per la storia che per i disegni. Per i lettori/collezionisti ci si può benissimo fermare al book precedente "Aquaman 4: Death of a King".
