Aqua Fresh

A talking purple humanoid squidAquaman #50 was one of the silliest comics titles I've read in awhile, and I thoroughly loved it. I don't know whose idea it was to take the mood of the Aquaman title and put it in reverse, but it was a great move.

The comic is funny and complicated and offbeat in a way that's hard to summarize. It seems like it should be a children's title but it's not. There is a simple freshness to this Aquaman, but it has a gangly, sprawling story that doesn't seem like it's aimed at children or young adults. Could it be? A general audience comic that's fun for all ages? I'll have to keep reading to find out.

It looks very creative to me. Maybe there is some special enlightening message in their with all its silliness.
