When it rains it pours! Jackson Hyde’s no stranger to dark family secrets, but the one he just uncovered is so big it might just blow his whole life to smithereens. With the Atlantean guard closing in, who can Jackson trust when even the closest people in his life have been lying to his face? It couldn’t possibly be the very same person who blew up Atlantis and framed Jackson for the crime…could it?
Passing the halfway point, Aquaman: The Becoming loses no steam as the series continues to flesh out Jackson Hyde's world while taking the character on an emotional roller coaster ride. This fourth issue presents another fantastical yet grounded artistic journey through the widest realms of the DC Universe. Read Full Review
It's a situation that's more nuanced than what's right and what's wrong, but with Aqualad's hero status, his moral compass sits far and away from most nuances. With his past unraveling in front of his eyes, it's going to be interesting to see how he navigates this. Read Full Review
Writer Brandon Thomas pulls off a tremendous feat with Aquaman: The Becoming #4, making an issue light on action and heavy on character background and an extensive dialogue exchange compelling and fun to read. Read Full Review
The characterization is great, but most of the high-octane action of the series is missing this issue. Read Full Review
Aquaman: The Becoming #4 upends Jackson Hyde's life in devestating fashion, leaving him at a crossroads with his mother. With only two issues left in the miniseries, I'm ready to see how Jackson weathers this tragedy to become Aquaman and how it carries over into the Aquamen series. Read Full Review
Though the pacing of Aquaman: The Becoming #4 may fluctuate, Brandon Thomas. Scott Koblish, Wade Von Grawbadger, Adriano Lucas & Andworld Design continue to deliver an interesting story of the kind of hero Aquaman will become. Read Full Review
Aquaman: The Becoming #4 is a well-drawn and well-structured comic, but the creators fall short by forcing a "ripped from the headlines" narrative that doesn't focus enough on the main character. If you're looking for an exciting adventure that shows why Jackson Hyde is worthy enough to be the next Aquaman, this isn't it. Read Full Review
After a good start, this one's starting to lose steam a bit unfortunately
Really wish I liked this more. The story, on paper, is compelling but the execution, the inconsistent artwork, and pace make this an unfortunate dud.
This is a giant exposition issue, and you either care or you don't. I don't.
Huge fan of #1 and #2, but since #3 this book is getting worse really fast, not reading it anymore...
Wow, what a bore, I guess three decent issues was the best Brandon Thomas could do, this was awful and I feel like we're only going downhill from here.
