...and finally, by a fair fathom, most Aqua-Fans' favorite Geoff Johns' moment with the New 52 Aquaman was right at the beginning:

Most Aqua-Fans found this opening so exciting, so promising, and so anti-everything that had come before that it signaled that this truly was going to be a new era for Aquaman. And so it was!
Thanks to everyone for participating, sending in suggestions and ideas. And of course thanks to Geoff Johns, who helped bring Aquaman back from the dead (literally) and re-install him as a main pillar of the DC Universe. His work ensures he will be part of the pantheon of Great Aquaman Creators, joining legends like Ramona Fradon, Nick Cardy, Jim Aparo, Steve Skeates, Neal Pozner, and others. And that's good company to be in.
Nice job Geoff--all us Aqua-Fans owe you a big thanks!

Will miss Geoff for sure! Excited though for what may still lay ahead! It's been an amazing take on Arthur for sure.
You didn't feature my favorite Aquaman moment, so I'm boycotting this blog until after Thanksgiving!
Manta's Origin and the reveal panel of the 7 relics. Ya'wara's introduction & her fight with Mera. Arthur in the desert. Too many to choose, hope Jeff Parker took notes.
Great list! I could name 10 more but especially Aquaman's defeat of Black Manta at the end of #13 where Manta said "Kill me!" and Arthur replied something like "I probably will but not today" Johns will be missed on Aquamam but i am excited he will be taking Aquaman, Mera and Atlantis back to Justice League too.
I havent read #25 yet. I lost interest in Aquaman since the whole Death of A King arc but seeing these moments reminds me how much I loved the series prior. Thanks for putting this up.
Loved revisiting all these moments. Great piece.
Definitely the slow reveal of Aquaman swimming in the sea, until you realize he's actually plunging into a desert. And then he says, "Uh-oh."
