There are more layers to Bunn's story than there initially appeared to be. That being said, the constant shifting between time periods gets to be a little hectic and the twists and turns are happening too fast. Read Full Review

Overall, this book has impressed me enough the last two issues to keep getting it after I'd decided to drop it. That speaks really well of it right there. I'm curious to see where it goes next. Read Full Review

Aquaman #42 is a number of missed opportunities. It tries to do something different, but what it gets is something far too similar to a number of other books. The rogue hero on the run is nothing special. The "then/now" narrative has been used countless times (Superboy, Batwoman, Captain Marvel, Wolverine, and Justice League United to name a few) and rarely does it elevate the story. McCarthy provides some interesting layouts, particularly in his two-page spreads and boasts from fun sea creature designs, but it's not enough to patch the other holes in Aquaman's story.

I typically enjoy Bunn's writing but "Aquaman" #42 is a mess. Read Full Review

Aquaman has a new look and a new mission, but I really don't know what any of that means because besides for what feels like only an initial idea about what this arc should be, this story doesn't seem to be going anywhere.  Pretty much if you read the previous issue, you're caught up on all the information that you'll get here.  Just a really disappointing issue with equally disappointing art.  Hopefully this series picks up from here on out because as of right now, this story does nothing for me.

Not sure

This is okay but certainly has it's flaws. The story is moving fairly slow and sill isn't entirely clear with what is going on. On top of that, the art is mediocre and inconsistent. I hope this isn't the beginning of the end for DC's ongoing Aquaman series.

I am not enjoying this run. The plot feels very mediocre, and I don't like what he's doing with Mera.
