Robson Rocha delivers some beautiful and detailed art in this issue. Everything from the characters to the backgrounds look amazing. Read Full Review

A delicious balance of slice-of-life, epic fantasy and even lovecraftian horror, that has a great voice for all the characters involved and promises big, new things. Read Full Review

Aquaman has become a much more enjoyable read now that Arthur has his memories back and the creative team is firing away making this title an easy read and one worth recommending again. Read Full Review

I continue to be blown away by just how well Kelly Sue DeConnick weaves together the many subplots in her Aquaman run. Read Full Review

DeConnick brilliantly brings back a fan favorite character while speaking to the real world issues of prejudice and self-identity. Read Full Review

All in all, this is one of DC Comics most underrated series. Read Full Review

It's a shame that this Year of the Villain marketing nonsense is infecting this book, along with so many others. Lex Luthor's "Mecha Manta" isn't what's bringing me in here, DC. But what this creative team does with it could definitely keep me around. Read Full Review

Things stall out foran issue while this “Year of the Villain” business gets shoehorned in, but it'snot an altogether offensive little pause. It's also not terribly exciting. Read Full Review

The King of Atlantis saga continues as this issue reveals a little bit of the politics of Atlantis. We've got a new dynamic duo as Aquaman must get used to the antics of the new Aqualad. We also witness a queen who may not be as willing to see the return of the king and the return of the King's arch-nemesis plus a nice little twist at the end as we see"to be continued ***1/2 (8.7 rating) Read Full Review

The Kelly Sue DeConnick era of Aquaman still hasn't completely solidified yet, but #51 shows that it is getting there. Read Full Review

Aquaman #51 is a quiet, inoffensive issue that ends with a bang that introduces the next strife and drama for the characters involved. Read Full Review

The strength of this issue lies in DeConnick's skill in characterization, even if Aquaman himself falls too far from the mark. If you're ready for the "new" Aquaman then this title is now for you, but if a classic take on Arthur Curry is what you want, it appears that ship has sailed... Go buy some Skeates/Aparo books...

Granted, some of these story points will assuredly pay off down the line, but at times it does feel as if the book is spinning its wheels, at least until the last few pages. That said, there's a lot to love here, and Jackson Hyde provides a welcome shot of energy, not to mention the stellar visuals from artists Robson Rocha, Sunny Gho, and Daniel Henriques.

I’m intrigued so far.

Still liking the characters, but not that interested in the Atlantis or Black Manta subplot.

Well, the monster’s cool. We still really need to talk about how Arthur should probably get some counselling or something.

I'd heard there has been an improvement over the last few issues. Wrong.

This is a boring issue. And the mech is dumb.
