I'm wondering if some of this ties into the larger mythology of the Green, the Red, etc could there be a "Blue out there? But one way or another, this issue leaves us with a new status quo, a new supporting cast, and a whole lot of unanswered questions as we head into a bold new arc next issue. Read Full Review

In short: Aquaman #8 doesnt just depict a battleit stages a challenge to everything Arthur stands for. In freeing the Blue, he may well lose a part of himself. Its a brutal, soulful finale that reshapes the King of the Ocean and reminds us that vengeance may free youor drown you. This issue isnt about closureits about what survives after the flood.

Aquaman #8 is a definitive moment for the character. It's a brutal, soulful finale that cements this run as a potential classic. It doesn't offer easy closure, but instead reshapes the King of the Ocean and sets the stage for a bold new direction. Read Full Review

Adams provides a solid Aquaman title but I wish he would find that spark from the first issue and carry it through month to month. Read Full Review

Aquaman #8 was a spectacular conclusion to the “blue” story! The focused moved entirely on to Arthur and that was a perfect choice as this was his battle to fight. Starting with a flashback to one of Arthur’s early attempts to be a hero was a nice way to open the issue and set the tone for what was to come in this book and I believe what will happen in the next. Three major deaths were featured in this and the last issue … will they stick or will Arthur somehow reverse time? I dare not speculate. For now I will just sit back thankful for the incredible ride. If you are not reading this Aquaman run because the character has a spotty history … you are doing yourself a disservice - this is the BEST book DC is publishing.
