There’s no safe haven quite like home…if you can call the destroyed and abandoned West Coast Titans Tower home! Jackson may have eluded the Atlantean guard, but he’s in for the fight of his life with the mysterious villain DELUGE, who framed Jackson for the Atlantis attack and seems hell-bent on his destruction!
Aquaman: The Becoming is a clear team effort as writer Brandon Thomas, penciler Scott Koblish, inker Wade Von Grawbadger, and colorists Adriano Lucas & Alex Guimares all work in tandem to bring this ambitious and fun series to life. Read Full Review
This issue is heavy on intense action scenes, and I found the energy of the overall story to be perfectly captured within the pages. Read Full Review
As Jackson Hyde flees to a former home away from home, more pieces of the puzzle surrounding the plot to frame him begin to make themselves known especially surrounding the new villain Deluge. Truly this series and it's companion Black Manta are breathing a new bit of life into the Atlantean side of the DC Universe, and it's beyond exciting to see. Read Full Review
I don't know what's going on with the art on this book, which now has a third primary artist in three issues. Scott Koblish is a talented penciller, but it's definitely a different style than the hyper-detailed work of Diego Ortolegui. Fortunately, the story stays strong as Jackson and Mera both find themselves with their backs against the wall. Read Full Review
Aquaman: the Becoming #3 is a tense chase story following Jackson Hyde's attempts to get away long enough from the forces chasing him to figure out who framed him and why. The mechanics of his escape drop a nugget of information about the inner workings of the JL that's as interesting as the conflict in this arc. The reveal of the big bad is surprising but may be a little too much soap opera for some tastes. Read Full Review
Aquaman: The Becoming #3marks the halfway point of the series, finally revealing the mysterious villain Deluge and their connection to Aqualad. With three issues left, Jackson Hyde's path to becoming Aquaman just hit a major roadblock and has set the stage for an unexpected family reunion. Read Full Review
Aquaman: The Becoming #3 (Thomas, Koblish, Von Grawbadger, Lucas, Guimaraes, and Andworld Design) serves to set the stage for the remainder of the series, with the final pages promising excitement to come. Read Full Review
The soap opera style cliffhanger didnt help much either. Scott Koblishs art was solid although inconsistent. Aquaman The Becoming is in a weird transitional state for the temporary Aquaman and needs a jolt to prove why Jackson should be more than a seat-filler for Andy. Read Full Review
The art was not as great as the last two issues but overall I really enjoyed it. Up until those last pages where Thomas went with the most classic possible comic trope ever. We really, really didn't need it, I was hoping the comic would take a more fresh approach but apparently that's too much to ask from Thomas.
In an unrelated note, that Batgirls preview is ten levels of cringe, that book is going to be a dumpster fire for sure.
I was having a good time until the random sister reveal, honestly.
Oh dear, did not like the art here.
Apart from not understanding some things last issue, this one hits me over the head with a reveal that has little significance for me and a pretty awful tagline on the cover.
Also the PRELUDE TO AQUAMEN banner here tells me this book isn't selling well and the entire execution of whatever it is they're trying isn't going well either.
We are halfway through a miniseries - and I still don't get what the main story here is. This feels like Issue 17 from a series I have not been reading at all.
I've been enjoying so far, but this issue was reaaaaaaally boring, I loved the reference to the challangers of the unknown though. The plot is still solid, i'll keep reading until the end
Ha ha ha, nude Aquaman !
