Can't wait to read it. 8-)
Cool, what did you get?
Atlantis Chronicles 1-7 (didn't see a TPB)
Aquaman Time and Tide TPB
Aquaman Sword of Atlantis TPB

:D :D

(Plus 2 Miracle Man issues and the 2nd Cerebus TPB) :wink:
There currently is NO Atlantis Chronicles TPB that I know of, and Aquaman: Time and Tide is basically it's sequal.

I can't highly recommend enough BOTH the Incredible Hulk Visionaries: Peter David and X-Factor Visionaries: Peter David TPB series.
Also be sure to check out:
Maddrox: Multiple Choice TPB, (aka X-Factor vol. 0).
The current X-Factor series with 9 TPBs and HCs currently out and two more HCs on the way, and X-Men: Messiah Complex TPB.
The Fallen Angel Omnibus vol. 0
Agreed on these :thumb:
Haven't read enough of Fallen Angel to comment on it though

Another vote for a few of the guys already mentioned.

Kurt Busiek, Grant Morrison and Peter David. Although I haven't read any of Peter Davids recent work.

Also enjoy Matt Wagners work.

I'll vote for Willingham and Kirkman as a tie, since Gaiman doesn't do comics anymore.

Reading the Atlantis Chronicles now. #1 was pretty darn good. :thumb: I keep asking myself, where's Aquaman?!?? Then I have to remind myself these are the Atlantis Chronicles, not the Aquaman Chronicles. :D

Also reading Time and Tide. Made it through the first two and T&T 1 and 2 are very good as well. Some minor issues with a few cartoony parts to the art. The "Flash humor" is very minor.


Good stuff. :thumb: :thumb:

Aquaman is currently in the Raiders of the Lost Arc... Hes been moonlighting as a German Mechanic.

Aquaman does make an apperence in Atlantis Chronicles, but I'm not telling you when he appears, you're going to read the series. :P
My advice is too read Atlantis Chronicles #1-7, then read Aquaman: Time and Tide #1-4.

I would add another vote for Matt Wagner. Maybe not the best, but right up there. Sandman Mystery Theater is GOOD.

He is writing Zorro for Dynamite right now.

It's like a really good Batman storyline.
