For Aquaman death is only the beginning " he has sacrifice everything for his people and he is paying the ultimate price for it.

Art continues to be fantastic from Bogdanovic, although here there were a few quickly drawn faces that detracted from some of the shine. Mother Shark seems to be an unreliable narrator, but if she speaks truth, then the continuity of recent stories gets even muddier. Can't wait for more, as Kelly Sue DeConnick weaves her Old Gods plot lines in with the previously ongoing storyline.

Un gran retorno. El rey prometido está de regreso. Y ahora los problemas que enfrenta son más grandes que él.

Not in a million years would I think that DC would let Mera have another chance.

This was pretty good, but a bit confusing to me.

Fun layouts. The artist has a nice feel for the page. Not constricted by grids of panels. He and Liam Sharp of GL probably swap notes over beer.

For both writing and art -- Aquaman seems like a really nice guy, but not royalty. Is that a good thing? Not sure. It certainly challenges my view of who Aquaman is.

Overall: Not quite as good as last issue, but far from being a bad one. A good recap of the Aquaman/Mera relationship.

I would like to say that it’s real fucked up that Mera murdered her intimate partner in a moment of rage and we’re supposed to be like “Aww well she loves him so much, so she just lost control of herself so violently that she murdered him. So it’s okay!” Gross.
