I'm a swimmer. I swim 30 laps, 4 days a week. My goal is 40. The water is my zen and swimming is my "me" time. When I'm in the pool, I'm in the zone and if I hit my stride just right, I feel as if I'm flying. I grew up near the Atlantic ocean and always lived near a moving body of water.

The first issue of one of the best New 52 titles. A story that flows smoothly, with decent action but also a sense of self-awareness.

I like that Aquaman is interacting with the humans but where is he to go and who will rule over Atlantis.
