Deep in the Pacific Ocean, at the farthest possible distance from any land, sits Point Nemo: the spaceship graveyard.

Comic Watch - Ross Hutchinson
Jun 07, 2022A masterful script from Ram V combined with the singularly unique talents of Ward on art for a series opener that captures the ocean's vast openness, mystery, and depth and why it's thrilled and captured the human imagination. With immediately resonant character writing and gorgeous visuals, AQUAMAN ANDROMEDA #1 is a superb psychological mystery of the ocean wrapped in a sci-fi and human drama setting with depths like the ocean itself.

The Super Powered Fancast - Timala Elliott
Jun 07, 2022Ram V once again bestows readers with a beautifully crafted tale, this time in regard to the deep sea. His unmatched ability to capture the essence of a character is both haunting and mesmerizing. More impressive is the distinct tonal differences in the inner monologues of the various individuals.

AIPT - David Brooke
Jun 07, 2022Aquaman: Andromeda #1 is an absorbing first issue that's at once haunting and intriguing. It walks a line between the fear of an unnatural alien threat and our inability to control what is the unknown. Read Full Review

Weird Science - Gabe Hernandez
Jun 07, 2022Aquaman: Andromeda #1 is an interesting premise about a horror from space crashing in the ocean with only the King of Atlantis to stop whatever horror is coming. The character, vessel, and creature designs are cool, and there's plenty of moody mystery to build tension. However, the line work ranges from detailed to unfinished, the color palette is mostly dark and drab, and the writing is pretentiously bloated throughout the dialog and narration.7/10 Read Full Review

This was absolutely phenomenal in every way. Haunting, beautiful, tense, gripping... I don't even mind that Aquaman was barely in this issue. This was simply stunning work from Ram V, and I cannot understate how PERFECT Christian Ward's art is for this story. I knew from the moment I found out that he was drawing an Aquaman book that it would be a perfect fit, and I was not wrong. I was left gaping at the pages with the Kraken. Arguably Ward's best work. This book was an EASY 10/10.

Ram V really can do no wrong in my book. He's one of the most exciting writers in comics right now and this book is yet another example as to why. On top of the intriguing premise, I thought Ram V did a great job building tension and setting up a variety of conflicts this issue. By the time we got to the issue's climactic action sequences I was fully immersed in the deep sea horror at hand. Christian Ward's art is also a perfect match for the story. He's a natural at large, dark landscapes accented with pops of the brightest colors you can imagine, and the depths of the ocean are a perfect place to show that off. His sense of scale during some of the book's more action packed scenes really made them feel larger than life too. He uniquel more

Pretty intriguing start. While I do think the pacing looks a tiny bit slow, Ram V surely knows how to put you in a mood for horror.

The art was incredible, I can't deny that. The writing on the other hand was a bit too slow-paced and boring for me.

"i am an older woman, much closer to the end than you are. perhaps i have the wisdom to help" - written by someone who has never talked to someone older than 40.

The captions are too many and too self-indulgent, they bog the narrative down with gibberish intended to conduct mood.
