Buy My Comics, Make Me Rich: AQUAMAN: SUB DIEGO

Hitting the stands today is the collection of the 2004 AQUAMAN run by me, penciller Pat Gleason, inker Christian Alamy, colorist Nathan Eyring and letterer Jared K. Fletcher, known in its trade-paperback form as AQUAMAN: SUB DIEGO. Here's the collection's cover by Mr. Gleason...


One day, most of San Diego (including, yes, the convention center) plunges into the Pacific Ocean, and Aquaman has to (a) try and save anyone he can, (b) figure out what the hell happened, and (c) help the survivors adjust to their new lives as ... water breathers. It's a big, epic, superhero story that includes a trip to the Justice League headquarters on the moon, guest appearances by Batman and the Martian Manhunter and, to kick things off, this page featuring an adorable panda in a less-than-adorable situation ...


I never expected DC to collect this eight-issue run, so I'm damned happy to have this snazzy little trade paperback sitting on my shelf. You can pick up a copy at your local comic book store, from one of the many (many, many) dealers at this week's ComiCon (in the not-actually-submerged city of San Diego) or even via Amazon.com.
