Holy Unexpected Praise, Batman!

Wizard magazine has a two-page feature on Aquaman. And, no, it isn't insulting or degrading. It's actually positive. That's right, Wizard is praising Aquaman. In fact, the subtitle of the article is "Fishing for the surprise smash of '04? Here's 7 reasons why 'Aquaman' will reel you in hook, line and sinker"

The article is about Will Pfeifer taking over the book, and while he disses my hero's old stories to some degree, he also has the right idea on where to go with Aquaman (including avoiding the backstory and supporting cast for awhile). I confess I've taken a wait-and-see attitude towards the future of Aquaman, but getting this kind of praise can only help.
