Aquaman 101 sale continued

Aquaman 101 digital comics sale
In leiu of an actual review (yes, real life is still very hectic) we thought you'd like to know about an Aquaman 101 sale on comixology, starting 19th May (Saturday). The comics are all 99 cents each (dirt cheap, about 50p in English money) for 3 days.
Aquaman is the King of Atlantis. He gets a lot of teasing in popular culture, which really isn't right because he's a great character. He's has several incarnations over the years - clean cut King, husband and father, bearded, hook handed, water handed, back to clean cut, grumpy, heroic, fun loving...he's done it all. He's been in Smallville, as a sort of frat boy version.
Here's the promo poster for the sale:
If you click the picture it should get bigger and more readable.
I particularly recommend any title from 1986 onwards, particularly the ones titles 1994 to 2001, written by Peter David. The 2003 to 2006 issues are also well worth picking up for the Sub Diego storyline, where San Diego falls into the sea, issues 15-20.
Aquaman: Sword of Atlantis has beautiful art and a real dreamy feel to it.
Flashpoint: Emperor Aquaman was awful. Don't bother with that.
If you want to read any more of him, there is currently an ongoing Aquaman series, also available on comixology. Also check our Aquaman and Justice League tags for other books with him in.
It's generally worth checking out Comixology's sales as they regularly have good stuff for rock bottom prices.

What's It About?
In the dark and terrible city of Bete Noire, in a booth at the back of Dolf's bar sits a woman dressed all in red, a woman people call the Fallen Angel. People come to the bar to talk to her, to tell her their problems. Sometimes she helps them, sometimes she tells them to go to hell and sometimes they wish she hadn't agreed to help them. Surrounded by a city of criminals and moral corruption the Fallen Angel is still finding her place in the world.
Fallen Angel was a series launched by DC Comics as part of an initiative to create new comics with female leads. The series was praised as inventive, creative and unpredictable... by the critics. Sadly the readers at the time weren't as willing to try something new as DC hoped and after twenty issues the series was cancelled. Years later Peter David was invited to continue the series with a new company, IDW, who have now published the full DC run for the first time ever in a handsome omnibus edition.

Supergirl: Many Happy Returns
Writer: Peter David
Pencils: Ed Benes
Inks: Alex Lei
Colours: Brad Anderson
Letters: Comicraft
Publisher: DC Comics
What's it about?
In short, two Supergirls collide, potentially causing the end of all existence.
In long, it's a bit more complicated.
We have one Supergirl, Linda Danvers (in the white top). She is not Kryptonian, or Superman's cousin or anything like that. She does have invulnerability, super strength, the ability to fly and a form of psychic telekinesis. Linda is brash, has a dirty mind, is straight talking and cynical. She got her powers through some sort of miracle and earned the right to wear the Superman colours.
