Abnett's Aquaman has an interesting geopolitical tone plus some detailed characterization; especially lately, for me it's pulled ahead of the Johns run.<br /><br />I also swore off Freedom Fighters comics after reboot after reboot, but Robert Venditti's name makes me take this more seriously; he's been the writer for a while on Green Lantern and then Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps, and he's done a pretty admirable job. And the interview I read said that this was branching off from Morrison's Multiversity; I understand why you see that as a negative but I think that tie to the greater DC Universe might actually help marketability.<br /><br />I'm concerned about Steve Orlando's discussion that he'll be revealing some secret from Martian Manhunter's past -- it's OK in my book if J'onn is just victim and not cause of his people's destruction -- but Riley Rossmo's twisty turny art on the shapeshifting Martian Manhunter is can't miss for me.<br /><br />Somehow I too totally blanked that Walter Simonson and Jerry Ordway did a Wonder Woman run between Jimenez and Rucka. Definitely their names sell this book better than a subtitle.collectededitionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14698269790653953645noreply@blogger.com
