BAD THING: More Firestorm. Yawn. Even the threat of the eminent destruction of the universe can't make me care about this storyline.
GOOD THING: Aquaman vs. Black Manta. No! Seriously.
The Final Verdict: If you told me a year ago that I'd be clamoring for the death of all things Firestorm related and demanding a Aquaman title written by Geoff Johns... well, I probably wouldn't have believed you. As it is, this book is still much less than the sum of its' parts.
Black Manta looks badass here. I just want to read him now. Will Johns make Aquaman's villains as badass as the Rogues?
ReplyDeleteAlmost certainly. If nothing else the other new villain he's introduced, Siren, is an interesting counter to Mera.
ReplyDeleteThat would be..difficult. Aside from Black Manta and Ocean Master, Aquaman's bad guys are actually lamer than Firestorm's or Blue Beetle's...
ReplyDeleteI dunno. I can't even think of a Firestorm baddie besides Killer Frost.
ReplyDeleteSlipknot. Hyena. An evil Native American shaman I can't even remember the name of. Actually there might have been two of those...
ReplyDeleteWasn't Multiplex a Firestorm badguy too?
