Book of Doom: Aquaman #50
After a week hiatus (nothing worth fightin’ over came out), we’re back this week with our communal review of Aquaman #50, in which famed fantasy author Tad Williams takes over writing chores from Kurt Busiek. I think I speak for us all when I say Busiek will definitely be missed. Post-Crisis he took the book in a very new, unexplained direction and renovated a stale character into a fantasy oriented undersea adventure. Think Conan: The Frothy Tales.
Williams has written a ton of fantasy material, so he seems like a great fit to take over from Busiek. As always, come back Saturday to see our thoughts and share your own.
DC says:

Joined by the new art team of Shawn McManus (THE SANDMAN, SHADOWPACT) and Walden Wong (THE CREEPER, THE NEXT), a new horizon beckons for Aquaman, as new challenges await and new characters from this undersea world are introduced. It all begins here, in this extra-sized 50th issue extravaganza!
