Aquaman #11 sets up Arthur's journey into the big KO tournament, showing that the Earth is buzzing long before he enters the fray. The artwork showcases the beauty of the ocean as they effortlessly build fight sequences, taking down each of Darkseid's minions. Read Full Review
Aquaman #11 works well as a tie-in to the wider DC K.O. event happening right now but feels more like a side story or a filler episode in the wider narrative created by the past ten issues. Adams writing remains sharp for the series, while Malavias art doesnt quite fit the world and characters as theyve been put together in the current run. My recommendation: If for little else, this issue is worth collecting for its continuation of Meras story and journey through waves of mystery. Alternatively, if you want to collect the entirety of the DC K.O. event, then this tie-in issue provides some additional texture and information on Aquaman and closely related characters, such as the recently assembled Justice League Blue.

Aquaman Issue 11 throws the readers in the deep end. It's a shock to the system for newcomers to the series, with numerous storylines running through the comic without pause to build up to the event. Read Full Review
As a tie-in to the main event, it's pretty light but well-connected overall. It's more about setup than anything else, but it does work in more of showing how this Justice League Blue team is working and some of the tensions and frictions that are just under the surface with it. It's hard to be sure how much of it is actually what they're feeling or just part of the larger piece of Darkseid's negative energy floating around there, but it's effective. I'm still more interested in Mera's story since I like her the most of the cast, especially after a few years reading stuff like Bombshells and Sensation Comics about a decade ago, and bringing Nereus back into the picture should be fun as well.

Aquaman #11 doesn't waste time or space. It goes full throttle from page one, daring readers to keep up with a plot that's as turbulent as its oceans. The result is a visually striking, if occasionally overwhelming, ride through family drama and cataclysmic danger. If you crave your superheroes with a side of cosmic chaos and emotional whiplash, you'll get your money's worth here. Just don't expect to come up for air. Read Full Review
Aquaman #11 was not the best entry into this series … however it was the best DC K.O. tie-in I’ve read. I really enjoyed Arthur’s adventures off-world and the cast of characters that joined him on his quest … but I fear these supporting characters are falling out of the spotlight and that’s a shame. This issue runs smack dab into the DC K.O. event while still trying to keep all of the other subplots in motion. While they pulled it off with this issue I fear for what’s to come as we get further into the punch-fest event. I hold out hope that after the DC K.O. finally wraps up, that the Aquaman story will find its way back to greatness. I still recommend this series as a high point for DC and the character.
