I picked this up in a whim as I had always seen Peter David’s time on Aquaman listed as one of the definitive 90’s DC stories. Similar to the Mark Waid and Geoff Johns Flash collections I’ve been reading, these comprehensive trades make reading the story easy. As to the contents, I found the story to just be ok, primarily because Aquaman is such a cypher. We barely know anything about him, but to be fair, he is trying to understand his past as well. Not in a huge rush to read volume two.

I am starting to tackle Aquaman stories. Arthur Curry, AKA Aquaman, is the King of Atlantis. This character I have read in comics as well as countless appearances in DC media. However, I have never really dived in (pun intended) to his own story-line. I have to admit it is way better than I had predicted. I am going to read Peter David' book 2 after this, then read some of the classics, then move on to New 52 and rebirth. I love the Peter David era so far, there is great artwork and edgy storytelling and takes place in the same run as the Superman (Death and Return) era that I had been reading recently. I look forward to getting to know this character much better.

I didn't enjoy this as much as the first volume, although there were plenty of memorable moments. I like this era of Aquaman, but in my effort to understand the character more I am ready to move on to another era of Aquaman.
