Guest host Borgio Boulakis joins us for the finale of Geoff Johns' run on Aquaman! Let's explore the towering tsunamis and hidden depths of this fantastic run of comics. Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/comicbookbre... Insta: https://www.instagram.com/cbbreakdown... Email: cbbreakdown@gmail.com

Author Geoff Johns wasn't just guiding Aquaman's journey in his ongoing title. He was also chronicling the adventures of the Justice League - of which Aquaman is a member. I examine Arthur's role on the team and the way that book complimented, contrasted, and teased ideas before they ever made their way to Aquaman's book.
