My copy of Aquaman #5 hasn't arrived yet, although I can't wait for it. I loved the new series so far, but then again, it is Aquaman so I naturally love it.

Unfortunately, my pup Keasha would never wear a charm, although she would look cute with one. Then again, I might wear it myself. ;)

Yeah I'm on board with liking his rescue--even Superman needs someone to kick the Kryptonite away every now and then. Gets better every month.

My dog's name is Anya and I would buy that "A" charm for her dog collar in a second if it was available!

I loved this issue, every part of it. I enjoyed Aquaman needing help to get out at the end, if only for the headline U.S. NAVY SAVE AQUAMAN FROM DESERT--continuing the trend of disrespect Arthur gets from the public.

Going against the grain here -- I thought it was a bold & unpredictable move of Johns not to have Aquaman get out of this jam in some kind of contrived comic booky way (like eating a bird then hey, here's the oasis!)-- totally unexpected and surprising the reader even more by NOT surprising the reader.

If the 1st five issues are any indication, this volume of Aquaman is not going to be what anyone expects, not even us FOAMers.

BTW- I'm totally floored that Russell likes this series ;)

"I kinda wish Aquaman had figured a way out of the desert by himself, but even that feels purposeful; and in any case it's been done."

Me, too. And it was also "done" in 5-Star Super-Hero Spectacular, 1977.

I also thoroughly enjoyed this issue; I thought this was the best issue of the run so far. However, I too noticed the "Aquaman had to be rescued by the Navy" bit and thought, "that $#!^ never happens to Batman!" Hopefully there'll be some repercussions to this...

I also loved the painted Tom Curry.

Great, great book.
