Overall, another satisfying issue, although there's still a hint of something missing from the title. Read Full Review

Hercules makes for a fine antagonist in another winning chapter of Jeff Parker's Aquaman run. Read Full Review

Aquaman is a strong character, and I enjoy it when a writer manages to use him well. Parker's run has been a bit uneven, but this was one of the good ones. Read Full Review

The fight between Aquaman and Hercules is incredibly satisfying and fits nicely into the plot. That fight alone would have made the issue worth reading but we also see the advancement of a couple other subplots that are entertaining as well. Nothing particularly eventfulhappened in the issue in terms of the larger narrative and this current arc could use some more direction and consistency. Overall this issue was a fun read. Even if the focus of the series shifts more often than I'd like it to, it still feels like there are great stories on the horizon and the end of the issue promotes some upcoming team-ups that I can't wait for.

Though the story ultimately feels lackluster, that's only because there wasn't much variation in the pacing of the story, especially in the main scenes with Aquaman. While the action was done well, the characterization fell short and stopped Hercules or the giant-borne from becoming villains that deserved our attention. It'll be nice to see heroes like Wonder Woman and Aquaman work together, especially when Parker's reasoning makes the story feel so organic and believable. Read Full Review

This is another decent issue of Aquaman. Whilst the battle between Aquaman and Hercules may have somewhat overshadowed other aspects of the story, this still is an entertaining read which does a good job of setting up the next Aquaman Annual. Let's just hope it isn't as irrelevant as the last one. Read Full Review

A lot of action fluff to pad the way for bigger, more important storylines to come. Read Full Review

I really hoped that "Aquaman and the Others" would take the need for monthly updates from the Atlantean council away, but that clearly isn't the case. This is a solid comic, on the precipice of being a great comic. Read Full Review

Aquaman continues to just cruise right along, and I continue to read about it. No fuss, no muss! Read Full Review

Aquaman #30 has some interesting things going on, it's just a shame Jeff Parker concentrated on filler. Granted, it's a fun and action packed fight between Aquaman and Hercules, but the meatier parts lie with Triton Base and Mera.  I hope to see more of them next month. Read Full Review

This isn'tParker's best issue of the series but it still has its moments. Plus, Pelletier is turning in some fine artwork. So, if this is the worstAquamancan do right now,we have little to worry about. Read Full Review

So whilst Aquaman #30 may not be the best book on shelves, Jeff Parker writes an entertaining issue that will keep readers around for the next. Itll be interesting to see where things go next month, because despite the problems, this is still a book thats worth reading. Read Full Review

"Aquaman" #30 does a nice job of wrapping up the Hercules storyline, even as it also opens the door for a follow-up. But more importantly, I like how Parker is letting this book connect a bit with "Wonder Woman." It's easy for a title like "Aquaman" to feel like it's playing on the fringes of the DC Universe, unconnected to the other books (the earlier crossover with "Justice League" being an exception). This makes it feel part of a greater whole, without at the same time tangling itself too tightly with other story threads. It's a nice touch, and the sort of continuity that works well. All in all, this was fun. Read Full Review

It's a bit of a middle-of-the-road issue. While the fight scenes are a ton of fun here, the issue doesn't really progress any form of actual story. What fans will want to read is all pushed onto the first page of the issue and the end of #30 is a team-up set-up for the upcoming annual, which from the looks of it, won't be anything too exciting. This is not a bad issue, but it's just not winning me over. I give this issue a mild recommendation. Read Full Review

While the art and the subject matter are not the most exciting or revolutionary, the issue is alright, saved by interesting side plots. Readers will be interested to see how the political intrigue and the new villain continue to develop. It's also nice to see that the boring quality of the demons and Hercules can be mitigated by a future team-up with Wonder Woman. Read Full Review

Some improvement for Parker run

Jeff Parker's run started strong but this issue just didn't click for me, I hope this isn't a sign of the series sliding downhill.
