    Not a lot of bang for the buck here, as while it's probably too late to be of any good, I must say that one could easily leave this one-shot on the shelf. I mean aside from showing us that Vulko is starting to notice the new rulers of Atlantis are "evil", and the debut appearance of a hybrid jellyfish man, this one-shot is pretty skimpy when it comes to new insights. This is even more disappointing when one remembers the book has under taken a new direction, and as such this one-shot could've been used to give us a better look at Aquaman's new role in the DCU, instead of giving us yet another look at how messed up the situation in Atlantis is. Now the new villain Thirst looks like an interesting threat, and I'm looking forward to the next arc based on the information we received on his profile page. However, the rest of the profile pages don't offer up any new and/or compelling information, and the secondary material is devoted to material I was already familiar with. Read Full Review
