Geoff Johns is very good at writing comics.  :wub: :wub: :wub:

[catwhowalksbyhimself]

You're reading way too much into this.

All he says is that he's happy with JSA, he'd like to write JLA and loves Aquaman in particular but is happy where he is.

There is no hint in this article whatsoever of him actually writing Aquaman.  Especially as that series was canceled anyway.

". . . I love Aquaman. I really, really love Aquaman. I'd love to work on Aquaman. I'll just leave it at that."

Check back tomorrow for more from Johns on subjects ranging from bringing "Action Comics" and "Superman" more inline by the end of '08 to the two-years' worth of Iron Man stories he has plotted out should an opportunity ever present itself. All that and more Aquaman, too.

It's kind of obvious that that's what Johns is hinting at.  Also Ethan Van Sciver has mentioned that he and Geoff would be working on another none GL related project in 2008.  this exchange took place on the Comicbloc boards.

Sciver, also, has expressed his like for Aquaman in the past. Plus, his covers on the early Veitch issues were fan-bloody-tastic.

Shhhhh!

Here's a link to the thread.

Okay, I'll concede the point.

More Aquaman?  If this is true, and if this is even halfway decent, I'll be picking it up.  I need my Aqua-fix!  I just hope they bring poor Arthur back. :(

Not an Aquaman fan myself, but I am/was a fan of Marvel's Namor, whose books suffer from the same type of misconceptions and baggage that Aquaman books do. I think the biggest mistake many writers make when dealing with both characters is overtly making them relevant/"cool" by re-framing said characters. John Byrne's 1990s Namor was pretty bad, although he earns points for innovation (he re-imagined the character as an eco-conscious hero who happened to be the CEO of a multinational company) and it didn't really start getting decent until he dropped all pretense of the weak premise and just portrayed Namor as the savage, calculatingly cruel, and perpetually angry regent of an underwater kingdom (it helped that he got Jae Lee to do the art as well, since Byrne inking himself on the book just wasn't working out), which is the heart of the character. I liked the portrayal of Aquaman (although not the Aquaman most fans are familiar with) in the recent "Outsider: Five of a Kind" team-up with Metamorpho, it feels like a step in the right direction as to how the character can be made more interesting without patently and cheaply overpowering the character or drastically changing his original motivations (of course, it's possible that I was just blinded by Josh Middleton's excellent art in that book).

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, if you want to see how Aquaman should be written, what his motivations should be, and how he can be a compelling character, look at Alex Ross's "Justice."  He is what he was and should always have been, a man torn between two worlds.

When talking about the various incarnations about Aquaman, Van Sciver told Didio "Why don't you give Aquaman to me and Geoff," which met with a lot of applauses.
