It's been just over a year since New 52 Aquaman first trended on BC, in response to a preview of Aquaman #1 pages by Ivan Reis and Geoff Johns. Good sales, critical acclaim, and at least a month or two during which the book outsold every Marvel title, and the character still has more than enough juice to top the trending topics a year after launch. No matter what happens after #16, it's a good time to be an Aquaman fan.
