tmaluck's review against another edition
4.0
New 52 Aquaman has been surprisingly good, with consistently great artwork and colors throughout. The stories can resolve a little too neatly, but I can't deny Johns + Parker's adventurous expansions of Atlantean lore. The entire 'Maelstrom' arc in this book tipped it over into 4-star territory, with a bonus shoutout to J'onn J'onzz for his Psychic Martian CSI routine.

Hmmm. Well. Lot of hand-wavy comic book science here. Not the best collection of stories.

I didn't expect to cry, yet here we are.
I'm coming at this having read some of the early volumes, and having tried to stay with the current run. At this point, I'm not entirely certain what stories happened when or of it was within the volume. (Only a slight exaggeration)
I've really enjoyed the expansion of lore we've had. There's a bigger playground for the underwater world. As always, I've enjoyed Mera and Arthur's relationship as something devoted, healthy, and not dramatized. (ok ok at least so far)
I'd like to sit down and enjoy this series altogether some time. So, until then, see ya'll in Rebirth.
Edit: I read through my reviews/reactions to the soft reboot (DC YOU) and all I ever talked about was Mera lol. So yeah... that storyline. I see.

Pretty good. I liked the whole portals thing. The big bad villain in the first half of the book just felt so-so to me. I wasn't scared because of him, I didn't feel hatred or empathy.. I guess the best way to explain how I felt was "Hmm.. how many more pages of this guy?"
More...
