Comic Book Office Wall

We love comic books.

Epic stories. Heroes struggling to save the world. It’s great motivation for the office:

Aqua Vita Comic Wall

We featured the The Fatal Attraction arc, the Captain America “Fighting Chance” storyline, Classic Spiderman from the 1980s, and the 30th anniversary of Spiderman.

Staff favorites:

Uncanny X-Men: Enter the Mutant Called Gambit. The first appearance of Gambit, Storm’s origin story, and the return of the Shadow King.

Zero Hour: Crisis in Time. DC Heroes and villains battle Parallax (former Green Lantern Hal Jordan).
