Here's a review to cap off the week:
It's been coming up a bit in recent discussions about Aquaman, since Veitch has gone back to this landmark (seamark?) work to give his version of Aquaman an angle to work from. This book has beautiful Curt Swam artwork, inked by my friend Eric Shanower (Age of Bronze). It was written by Keith Giffen, who is better remembered for his fun version of the Justice League. It features a whole new origin for Aquaman, who is, as of this story, no longer the son of a human lighthouse keeper. In fact, many of the complaints fans had about Peter David's run on the book originally stemmed from the complete retcon Giffen did in this one-shot. Despite the retcon of the lovely and romantic Silver Age origin for Aquaman, this is a pretty good book.
This will be my only blog today, nothing more until tomorrow afternoon at the earliest, so I'd better find a song for the day right now... hmmm...
"The Ballad of Aquaman" by the Social Bedders. I get a lot of stuff from MP3.com, and every once in awhile I do a search on "Aquaman" to see if anyone has added new songs about my favorite hero. And every once in a long while I run across a decent song. This is one of them. In fact, I fully intend to someday do a music video for this song, since it's so cool. Someday.
