Some fans of Aquaman had no interest in this storyline from the outset because of its' introduction of a new Aquaman. Replacement or legacy characters are fine, just as long as it happens to the other guy's favorites. Having never been a huge fan before, more because of how he was written than to any inherent dislike of him, I was open to this new approach. The very first thing that caught my eye was Butch Guice's mood provoking artwork. His style may not fit well with others but was the ideal match for Aquaman's underwater milieu. Upon reading it, I was immediately caught up in Kurt Busiek's intriguing tale, replete with twists and turns at every juncture. He weaves a world of mystery, mayhem, and mistrust throughout and imaginatively plants numerous seeds for future storylines, including a fantastic closing cliffhanger. Unfortunately he would never get the opportunity to resolve these loose ends since he was taken off the title shortly thereafter in order to start work on an unknown project, which was recently announced as the new weekly series Trinity. Kudos to Kurt and Butch, despite their regrettably short tenure on the book, for converting a non-fan and illustrating the great potential of this legendary underwater figure. With so many superheroes sharing similar backgrounds, powers, and environments, characters like Aquaman with their distinct settings and the potential for unusual and distinguished stories that go with it are needed now more than ever.

Aquaman has always been one of my favorite characters. He's never really had a good direction in his books though. Super Friends pretty much ruined any chance of him having mainstream success.
Anyway, Like I said this is a fresh start for Aquaman. A Brand new Aquaman takes over the mantle and is guided by the mysterious Dweller of the Depths. The book was a little slow but, that was mostly to get the characters properely introduced. It's a good read for anyone who likes the character.
