Aug 13, 2025Aquaman #8 shows Arthur in a way we have never seen him before and shines the light on how pure and powerful he can truly be. This fight has been building, and it has been worth the wait as the team sticks the landing, having me dying for more. Read Full Review

Aug 13, 2025I'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

The character development for Arthur is a standout, and his transformation into something new and powerful is a thrilling cliffhanger. The art is beautiful and complements the story perfectly.

Aug 13, 2025In 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.

Aug 13, 2025Aquaman #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

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.

OOff this was so underwhelming. The art was great, but the story about Dagon was such a disappointment. He was being introduce as the next big bad villain, a god. But to be defeated that easily was very disappointing.

Could have stretched this issue out to 2 or 3 to have a coherent storyline that doesn't result in in the ending of men in black 1. so lame to just power up AQ whenever you need to progress the storyline. Nice art tho
