The book's action was bombastic and explosive, making it feel like the end of the world for Atlantis, and the rest of us reading felt as helpless as Arthur, stuck light-years away and unable to help. Between the art and rhythm of the storytelling, Emperor Aquaman #21 has been the culmination of the run thus far. Read Full Review
