It wasn't the finale...Aquaman #30 in November is the finale for the Underworld arc.
"UNDERWORLD" finale! Caught in the claws of the monstrous crustacean crime baron known as Crush, Aquaman and Dolphin are bargaining chips in a most dangerous game with the cruel King Rath, who'll do anything to keep the secret of Arthur's survival from the people of Atlantis. Meanwhile, Mera's mission to break into the sealed kingdom hits a rough patch when Atlantis' magical technology short circuits on a massive scale-especially those devices made of a certain metal...
Aquaman #28 is a must-read. This is one of the best super comics on the market, with a veteran writer pairing with a dynamic artist to deliver a great final package. Aquaman is a unique character and this team is dialled into what is best about him and his world and we are lucky to be reading in such a great era for the title. Read Full Review
I was excited to read Brad Walkers early issues on Aquaman but got bored when he was frequently replaced with other artists, being unable to draw a biweekly comic continually. With Stjepan Sejic, we again have a strong and distinct artist on the series. What he brings is the whole epic dimension that could only be captured by an artist not afraid of fantasy elements. Hi, is a savoury Aquaman! Read Full Review
If your money is low this week, theres a lot of good options vying for your dollars, but Aquaman at this point is clearly worth the investment. Read Full Review
Aquaman is peaking at just the right time, and there's never been a better chance to see just how great this book can be. Read Full Review
This is another amazing issue of the Aquaman comic. With great characters, a compelling plot, and a powerhouse artist, its easily among DCs best comics at the moment. If youre not reading it, you are missing out. Read Full Review
While the story of "Aquaman" #28 is well written on its own, the artwork makes it all the greater. Read Full Review
Aquaman #28 doesn't progress the overall narrative very much, but it offers great character moments and sets up the climax of the story with some important revelations. Read Full Review
Another great issue by Abnett and Sejic. This may be the weakest issue in the arc so far, but considering how great this arc has been, that isn't too bad at all. It doesn't move the storyline forward tremendously but it does have some great moments with Vulko and with Tempest. The cliffhanger makes me excited for Mera's role in the next issue.

There's a lot going on in this issue, but there's really one thread that feels active, and it ain't about Aquaman. There are worse things, however, and I'll be glad to see how these different parts converge for what I hope will be a satisfying ending. We can enjoy the pretty pictures along the way.

This issue has a lot of narrative potential, but it suffers from a feeling of inadequate execution. Though the artwork also has some cons, the mostly beautiful visuals prop up an otherwise indistinct story. Read Full Review
This is a disappointing issue, and I wholeheartedly recommend you skip it. It's just a catch-up issue, and what little happens here will definitely be explained in the next issue. Save your $4. Read Full Review
Despite the absolute gorgeous art, the current Aquaman storyline leaves a lot to be desired. It's all fine, but there's a lack of nuance to the characters and their actions, and a real lack of scope. Read Full Review
This Underworld arc has by far been the best of Dan Abnett's Rebirth run. Stjepan Sejic's art is a masterpiece and flows perfectly with Atlantis' underwater locales. The political intrigue, the underground vigilante, the beloved attempting to save her true love. Dan Abnett has created something really special here, and Aquaman is becoming one of the most consistant titles in the DCU.
A terrific mix of comedy and action that only Stjepan Stejic could manage.
I know Garth is rubbing a few out to Lilith Clay aka Omen in Titans but today I came to the realization that if Garth breaks the crown of thorns with a bit of his hocus pocus, he could reunite with Dolphin, his better match who was once the mother of his child. Make it happen Rebirth...
Great art, a compelling plot and plenty of characterisation. What more could you want?
This is a great comic. I liked it before Sejic's art. With his art just bumped this book to a different level. I over heard my comic shop upping their orders of Aquaman and for good reason!
It's a fun issue overall with action and (once again) gorgeous art by Sejic, but for an arc finale, it feels like nothing is resolved. Almost every important thing or "mysteries" built up during the arc is left with no resolution, only more questions. What's next looks like it's going to change a lot of dynamics in the story, but I can't help but feel like they teased us and they filled things up to start something greater. A good read, but not up to par with the previous issues.
