But Why Tho? - William Tucker
Feb 12, 2025Aquaman Issue 2 opens up whole new worlds. The fish king is taken out of the water and placed among vicious and visceral enemies. Aquaman may be far from the rest of the DC Universe, but what he finds could keep him connected to the very fabric of the cosmos. Read Full Review

Feb 12, 2025MATT: Overall Grade: 10/10. Aquaman #2 builds off a strong first issue and shows us Arthur powerfully and vibrantly that we have not seen in some time. This run should not be slept on as the team assembled is cementing itself early as an early favorite of 2025. Read Full Review

Feb 12, 2025Image provided by DCPoor Arthur is going to feel like a fish out of water in his new status quo. In a quest to find his missing people, Aquaman ventured through an Omega-shaped portal to the unknown only to find himself traveling across the stars… Although he isn't the first hero that you think of when you see an alien landscape, but this "John Carter of Mars"-style adventure is really working for me. Timms does such an amazing job with his depictions of our aquatic hero (particularly with his stature), and Lokus' colors just pop in this alien world. I loved how Arthur's costume contrasts with his new surroundings, and the colors just pop off the page. This creative team is two for two as far as I'm concerned, and the teaser for the next issue sounds even more ridiculous (in the best possible way).This is great stuff and worth the read.

Feb 12, 2025Aquaman #2is a weird epic, in the classical sense, that pits Arthur against monsters, trolls, and evil queens. Jeremy Adams draws inspiration from a myriad of legends for a fascinating and intriguing tale, and John Timms's art looks gorgeous.9/10 Read Full Review

Comic Watch - B. Radtz
Feb 13, 2025Jeremy Adams has this knack of tapping into the essence of these characters, and putting their biggest ticks that make them work, and makes it work for a more modern audience. Mixing this with John Timms style, and these two are able to work their magic on these characters, showing why theyve been staples of the industry for 80+ years. Read Full Review

Feb 12, 2025Aquaman #2 is a very, very good issue. It's a definite improvement over last issue, and feels like it might've worked better as a first issue. It gets the reader excited and engaged immediately. Plus, there's some interesting additions to Aquaman's world with the Blue and the mysterious Atlantean. All in all, this is what should be expected from Jeremy Adams. I expressed faith in his writing in the review of last issue, and it has paid off in the very next issue! Read Full Review

Mar 22, 2025Aquaman #2 delivers a visually stunning and action-packed adventure, showcasing Aquaman's adaptation to new powers and a strange, waterless world. While the pacing feels rushed at times, the unique premise and dynamic artwork, particularly the blood-bending scene, make this a compelling chapter in Aquaman's journey to reclaim his lost kingdom.

I am totally digging this new Aquaman run from Jeremy Adams & John Tims! Last issue they took Arthur away from the ocean and away from earth. In a dry barren alien world - his new powers still work - pulling water from the mud ... and other "odd" places. It's high adventure and some well illustrated action as Arthur comes face to face with a brand new villain who wants to bleed him dry. Also .... ALSO ... the return of a surprise character - that I didn't know even survived all the crisis and New 52 events. I highly recommend you read this series - a great comic from DC.

Solid issue. Timms is excellent: the colorful art is very dynamic and stylish. The script is good but I'm think Adams has to tie everything together soon. I think the series will suffer if he drags the whole darkseid mystery.

Great issue. Art is top notch. Arthur getting use to these new powers is interesting and I quite enjoy the 'blood bending'. This Arthur feels like the answer to when people mock Aquaman as weak and ineffective. Also to counter some other points. It is not like Arthur killed a living person. He saved the woman's life and destroyed the corrupted evil within her. That still feels well within his character. He isn't killing people he is cleansing corruption/infection/evil. Important difference. I do look forward to this story and where it goes from here.

This issue was just a blast with fantastic art. Adams is clearly bringing some Flash Gordon vibes to this story and I'm all for it.

Improves over the previous issue with a much stronger "hook" to pull in the reader. I'm interested in seeing where Adams takes us. Artwork is gorgeous!

I feel pretty similarly to how I felt with the previous issue. I liked what we got here, but it also doesn't feel like there's a lot of time to breathe. Furthermore, I do think some of the dialogue was a little bland in certain spots. Hopefully this can improve soon, as there are ideas I like here, as well as the fact that I like both Adams and Timms.

As much as I love Jeremy and think he's incredibly talented, this does not feel like Aquaman to me. I know a lot of people are loving this version of the character, but as a long time fan, this just isn't him. He would never yell out that he was going to kill anyone. He didn't even say that after Black Manta killed his son. I'm still not a fan of him having Mera's powers and then using it to sling mud and blood is not a character highlight for me. As Aquaman is my favorite comic character As an ultimate fan, it saddens me to say that I may dropping this title in a few issues. My Comic Review Channel - https://youtu.be/Nyak3h_Gg6c
