One of the great things about an Aquaman movie coming is that DC is putting all sorts of Aqua-related material back in print.
I read this monthly when it first was published, but to be honest, I really don't remember any of what was printed in this volume. When I think back to Rick Veitch's run, I recall his Black Manta storyline, but barely any of this. I remember the Lady of the Lake giving Arthur his water hand, but little else.
I found this book to be a little slow in places, but I recognize that Rick is setting all his pieces in place to start telling the story he wants. This is a welcome change from Peter David's Aquaman. While I can't really stand Peter David, I did enjoy many aspects of his run. But I like this more. Rick Veitch is putting Aquaman back where he should be, stripping away all of the bullshit laid on him by Peter David.
I look forward to the next volume of this book to refresh my memory of this run.
