    Absolute Aquaman #5 kicks the action up a notch and further takes us into this world of adventure. Arthur's mission to bring back his people feels a lot like a classic adventure film such as Indiana Jones and even has humor tied into it. I cannot recommend this book enough and you need to be reading this run! Read Full Review

    Comic Watch - B. Radtz May 14, 2025

    Jeremy Adams continues his winning streak with his run on Aquaman with comic superstar John Timms, as they continue their world building for Arthur and his crew. Adding classic characters like Lori Lemaris, Arion, and even Captain Nemo from a Jules Verne book just keeps adding to the excellence here. I hope they stay on this book for as long as they can, because despite Arthurs status in the DC universe hierarchy, him having a successful series doesnt always mean its a series that always lasts long.
