I like that many characters are playing parts and that Mera is still a part of this story even as she cannot reach Atlantis. Even Tempest has been brought back to the fold and new mysteries have been hinted at in this series and the Titans. I encourage you to read Abnetts Aquaman. His contribution to the character will soon reach and perhaps surpass that of Geoff Johns and Peter David. Read Full Review

Aquaman truly has never been better with this perfect mix of superhero action, mystery, political machinations and outstanding character work. Miss this one at your peril as Aquaman #27 is another great installment. Read Full Review

Another excellent issue of Aquaman"I can't get enough of this book. Besides being a superhero, it's just a plain good book. Every one has a different agenda, and yet the stories are dancing and weaving with one another flawlessly. The art is a spectacle of beauty and talent. Just a wonderful book all around.

The crime lord known as Krush has captured Aquaman and his friend Dolphin. Together they must find out how to break free and save the 9th Tirade. Meanwhile, multiple factions plot to claim the throne of Atlantis. This is an exciting issue by Dan Abnett, and artist Stephen Sejic depicts an insular conflict in the ocean realm. Read Full Review

It must have taken restraint for DC to put Stjepan Sejic on Aquaman rather than one of the bigger books like Superman, Batman, or Wonder Woman. Sejic clearly has what it takes to be a superstar artist, but Aquaman is the comic that needed him the most, and his pages have revitalized this series in a major way. Read Full Review

Despite some minor quibbles, this is still another fantastic issue of Aquaman. Its easily among DCs best books right now, and you should be reading it. Read Full Review

Great issue! Abnett and Sejic make a great team. They continue to elevate a character that has only become cooler and cooler over time. If you like Aquaman you will like this issue and if you are just curious about Aquaman, this issue will leave you wanting to know more about him. I recommend this issue as well as this arc.

This was stronger than the last issue in every way, restoring my faith for this creative team. Aside from a glaring lettering issue, the art was extremely solid and the ending has me fantasising about where the book might go after this arc is done. Pick it up! Read Full Review

Aquaman #27 may be meat-and-potatoes superhero comic books when it comes to plot, but the artwork is something that needs to be seen to be believed. Read Full Review

The addition of Stjepan Sevic as the main penciler and colorist truly has injected new life into this title. Much has already been said about his assumption of the duties of both penciler and colorist, and all that holds true here. Sevic's lines are sleek and clean. His characters look realistic no matter how fantastical their nature. But truly, the main highlight of his art is how perfectly the colors fit his pencils. His colors are genuinely atmospheric, immersing the reader in an underwater world that actually feels lived in. The perfect integration of pencils and colors would have been much harder to achieve if both weren't done by the same artist. Read Full Review

With this series, it's proving to be philosophical, pretentious, powerful and to a certain extent, maybe even political. Read Full Review

Aquaman is good and enjoyable, but it could use a bit more of a spark to really set it apart. Read Full Review

Strong art and an interesting antagonist make this issue enjoyable, but it isn't a must-read. Read Full Review

The plot thickens, and perhaps gets more murky as the waters are ever-muddied...okay, forget this terrible water metaphor. This is a pretty solid issue that looks cool, but doesn't have any great moments. The mystery of how Aquaman yet lives persists, and we get some new questions and developments besides. Hopefully this all comes to a head next issue. Read Full Review

With newly appointed Stjepan Sejic on art, Dan Abnett's Aquaman is becoming a masterpiece title. With the Underworld story arc, Abbott is establishing sections of Atlantis and the various factions within, that have never been explored before. Political intrigue, a collapsed hero, and a woman that will go to any lengths to stage a rescue for her love. This is simply great stuff. Dan Abnett is setting up Aquaman to be a quality title for years to come.

The series had surprised me and it keeps on surprising me every single issue. The art to gorgeous (Except this weird, warped lettering choice) and made me a fan of Stjepan Sejic. The writing keeps you wanting for more and the story is engaging. The only downside is that we need to wait a whole month to see what's next.

This story arc is getting pretty good. This issue was a lot of setup. Garth potentially joins the fight. The widowhood potentially masterminding the whole thing to put Mera into power. Vulko gets help from a disgraced sister from the widowhood. Arthur has revealed himself to be the king. Things should get all kinds of crazy in the coming issues.

This is the best story arc I've read of Aquaman since Geoff Johns left the title. Currently the best story being told in rebirth in my opinion.

The logic of the Widowhood wanting Mera as Queen escapes me but exposition may lend more weight to that last page reveal. Similarly, the numbers supporting Rath as King are not convincing. I lost touch with this title as the politico angle had gotten ..err.. dry but Dolphin on the cover drew me back to retry it. She was underwhelming unfortunately.
