Aquaman #57 brings all of the emotional depth, intensity, and outright maturity readers have come to expect from the Eisner-caliber creative team of DeConnick, Rocha, Henriques, and Fajardo Jr.! Read Full Review
Rocha and Henriques do some amazing work with the art in this issue. The characters look great, the drama is heightened to compensate for the lack of action and all of the scenes have a level of buried tension throughout. Read Full Review
Its time for artist Robson Rocha to redesign Mera as his current take looks way too much like an homage to the X-Mens Phoenix than her own style. Although theres not much action, Rocha easily handles the dramatic, tense nature of this storyline. Romulo Fajardo Jrs color work is impressive and plays up Rochas style beautifully. Read Full Review
This run has done marvelous work with expanding Aquaman's mythology, but as it gets down to more down-to-earth concepts, I'm hoping it course-corrects a bit to give Mera more of a voice. Read Full Review
The love story of Aquaman and Mera has been quite the rollercoaster ride, and it continues to surprise at every turn. Read Full Review
I like what we got at the end of this issue, but it's up to you to decide if one page a good comic makes. That might be a little harsh, but everything else leads up to the cliffhanger and doesn't spend too much time getting there. I am excited to see what comes next, though I wish all of the concerned parties were along for the swim. Read Full Review
As long as Aquaman is “not himself,” this title will struggle. While Mera carries this title, it may not be enough. When Mera is front and center, Aquaman is a better comic. As long as Arthur is portrayed as unlikable, he will be a distraction from the good things in the book. It's well past the time to get things back on track. Read Full Review
Very emotive, one of the best issues of this series.
Prelude:
Well, it's time for Aquababy! Let's see how DeConnick goes with this issue.
The Good:
Great to see Dolphin again.
I love Arthur in this issue.
Aquababy!
Really liked Rocha's art.
The Bad:
Nothing.
Conclusion:
A very simple issue with not much happening but it doesn't need do so. It's great for set-up for the next arc and finishing this one off. Just hoping we don't have another Death of a Prince situation on our hands.
A lot of patients (including Dolphin) got pushed aside when Mera showed up at the hospital, wonder if that will have repercussions in later issues. Great art from Rocha.
I liked the last page or so. The rest was very middling.
I really don’t like this comic.
