Aquaman #13: Wow. This is a solid standalone issue (great jumping on point) which features some of the abilities of the new Aquaman. I'm not sure I like the implication that Aquaman's breath smells like seaweed... but I love the father's comments: "Can you make the waves stop?" "Can you fly us out of here?!" "What do you do?!" Heh. In fact, this is a great story showing Aquaman's strengths as well as weaknesses, and giving us a very good character moment at the end.
Assembly #2: The last half of the first issue is explained, and a mystery is introduced. We also get a family breakdown that is well directed with a nice touch of misdirection. Overall I liked this issue a little better than the first, and that's a good sign. The artwork is nice.
JSA #55: This book has been all over the map with me lately. I didn't like the last issue (the Thanksgiving special) but really enjoyed the one before it. On average I just haven't been liking this book much at all. But this issue caught me. Hubby-Eric couldn't wait for me to read it, as one of my very favorite Golden Age characters (after Aquaman) appears in it. I'm glad no one spoiled this one for me, because the appearance was a complete surprise and a great delight. Yeah, I really liked this one.
