BETRAYAL IN SHIFTING WATERS! Aquaman heads upstream to uncover the mystery around the infection of the blue...so why does that spark an unholy alliance with a mermaid assassin? And what on earth (or otherwise) does that have to do with sky pirates and prophecies?! Revelations run wild as our hero looks for a way home before he's seduced by the great blue beyond!
Aquaman has had some rocky stretches lately, but this creative team is fully dialed in making this All In run one worth checking out for any fan of Arthur Curry. Read Full Review
This has been an extremely fun series. Aquaman is full of power and the lore the team pulls from is both deep cuts and adding to the mythos. There are subtle plot threads woven in which keep me excited. I can't wait to see where this story continues to go. Read Full Review
Arion and Vivienne are intriguing new additions to the series, as these magical beings are Arthur's tutors as he enters a strange new world of magic and myth. By the end of the issue, I'm definitely left wanting more and that's the mark of a good title. I'm hoping we get some answers about the rest of the cast soon, but this series is expanding Aquaman's world and his rogues gallery in the biggest way we've seen in a very long time. Read Full Review
Aquaman #4 delivers a high-octane adventure filled with mermaid assassins, prophecies, and a daring escape using innovative hydrokinesis and a striking new weapon. With relentless action, strong characterization, and dynamic visuals from the creative team, the series continues to show Arthur is in capable hands, despite the plot taking a slight backseat.

Aquaman #4 has reverted back to a similar format to the earlier issues, where we get lots of action, and fast pacing of the issue. We are also getting holes filled in where needed and appropriately as to not give too much away, though at the same time we can see that we are coming to the end of the arc. Arthur has only one real foe that we know of left to deal with, Dagon himself. Read Full Review
Aquaman #4 opts to mostly be an action set piece for Aquaman's new mythic weapon, and is all the better for it. Read Full Review
Aquaman #4 shows why Jeremy Adams is DC's best writer. Like Geoff Johns 20 years ago, he is able to capture the substance of characters and integrate their histories into something new and exciting. Even an issue like this which feels short is really good as it does the right things with character and world building. Read Full Review
Aquaman #4leans on the "Rule of Cool" to show Arthur kicking ass and taking names when he escapes the clutches of Dagon's mercenaries. Jeremey Adams's script elevates Aquaman's badassery score by fifty points, and John Timms's artwork looks amazing. That said, the issue is more action than story, so the plot takes a pause.

I love Jeremy and non-fans of Aquaman are loving it. That's great for them. However, as Aquaman is my favorite character -- this is not him. Wes and Drew from Thinking Critical said something on their show today that I found very poignant -- this is Absolute Aquaman. That I can understand. I know Jeremy was very proud of his weapon - but it makes no sense. What's the difference between wielding a trident and wielding a sword? In this case, nothing since the blade of the sword has to be round. It can't be edged since he still has to grip it once the prongs are pushed back up. I think the next issue is my last.
