Why this must be read:

Aquaman is a DC character whose use must be tailored to the sea. Justice League stories, comics and TV appearances cater to this need, while his Batman: The Brave and the Bold appearance played up his robust, hearty manner on land. This story takes place in and around Florida, (coincidentally, a favorite spot of the world in my book) and while most of the action is on land or aboard boats, Aquaman's marine mystique flows from his presence in this story, not exactly robust or hearty, but learning about how to be more human, how to have fun, as per his mentor's suggestion. The author's summary: Twenty three year old Arthur Curry is trying to lead a normal life as a graduate student at a Florida research institute when he meets the daughter of a world famous kung fu movie star. The mysterious young woman lives on a boat and is hiding from the mob. So, here you have it, an action-filled, romance-ready story with rough-and-tumble mobsters and a charming FOC. This is a DC Elseworlds story, twisting the 'characters in unusual ways,' and Dr. SN succeeds in fitting the premise to the promise, resulting in a terrific read; along the way, Aquaman's powers receive the scientific explanation you were waiting for.
