Aquamen's debut issue is the right amount of fun, emotion, and action as it weaves a story built on pre-existing threads that is built to welcome in any new passengers coming on board for this grand journey. It's a bold and beautiful time for the Aquaman/Atlantis portion of DC Comics, and the fans of those realms are going to be eating quite well for the foreseeable future. Read Full Review

This was a solid debut issue and one that suggests for as long as it lasts, this could be a fun ride of the Aquamen. Read Full Review

This first issue takes a while to get everyone on the same page, and the ending promises much more tension down the line. But both previous minis were consistently strong, and this debut continues the excellent character development all the main characters got. Read Full Review

If you're looking for a complex story featuring superheroes in a new configuration, you can't go wrong with Aquamen #1. This book has the look, feel, and complexity of a triple-A title. Read Full Review

Aquamen #1 may leave some fans feeling like a fish out of water, throwing the reader into the deep end with little exposition to act as a life preserver. Thankfully, the action is engaging enough and the artwork attractive enough to make it worth treading water. Hopefully there will be smoother sailing in later issues, but I'd still say it's worth diving into Aquamen #1. Read Full Review

It's not really a number one issue, but it's got some strong character beats and action sequences, as well as a spectacular art job, so I'd love to see more, even if it's weird to call BOTH heroes Aquaman. Read Full Review

Aquamen #1 kicks off with large-scale mayhem and stakes. The art is decent, there's plenty of big action, but the characters all feel off and bizarrely disconnected from what's happening around them.7/10 Read Full Review

Final Verdict: 5.4 " ""Aquamen" #1 struggles to find focus between the dual protagonists. Read Full Review

This was solid. Right before I read the entire Becoming series and Black Manta and was ridiculously into it. I love what Brandon Thomas and Chuck Brown are doing.

The two miniseries leading into this run were lukewarm at best. They ended on low notes. But this new number one is actually good. The characters don't feel off, the pacing is good, the plot is interesting, and the art is really well done. It's solid, and I hope this series lives up to the expectations this issue set.

MYSTERIES AFOOT, CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT.
POOR JACKSON CAN'T GET A BREAK FROM HIS FAMILY TROUBLES.
THOSE FISH THINGS ARE SCARY, WTF.
TEEEERRRROOORISM.
I gotta read BLACK MANTA (2021) now but I don't feel like I missed too much.
Why couldn't both The Becoming and Black Manta just been an ongoing under this title?
