While Jackson Hyde's investigation into the Atlantean sleeper agents leads him into the dark and dangerous streets of Gotham City, Arthur struggles with his own secrets and the rift that his past mistakes are creating in his future with Mera. Danger lurks in the darkness of Gotham's shadows, but so does a surprising ally.
If the goal of this series is to set up Jackson and his supporting cast for a solo run after this, it's doing a damn good job. Read Full Review
‘Aquamen' continues to do an amazing job at not only focusing on the title characters but overall celebrating the entirety of the Aqua-family and their history, as it sets things up for the future on the horizon. A bright but dark and deep superhero story that revolves around family, is the best way to really begin to pass the baton to Jackson Hyde as the Aquaman of the present and future. Read Full Review

Aquamen #3 starts to fill in the puzzle pieces behind the sleeper cell activations and the looming disaster to follow. Each page is filled with great action and generally good art. Every reveal and plot development generates as much excitement as a lead balloon. However, it's hard not to shrug and move on when the Big Bad is revealed to be a C-list Aquaman villain.

The art from Max Raynor is solid with strong panel composition and animated action sequences. Read Full Review
Aquamen #3 shifts the story into a welcome next gear, but it's difficult to shake the feeling that we could've arrived at this point much sooner. Read Full Review
One of them blockbuster comics.
The writing is not that great though. It feels... bulky.
An issue where a lot of revealed, characters interact in interesting ways, multiple settings, and a deepening mystery... it should all be more exciting than it actually feels.
And while the story does carry quite a bit of emotional weight between the interactions, the issue finds it hard to find steady waters to swim in.
It feels like the story itself is hanging by a thread here. I don't know who did the layouts for this issue, but they're terrible. I feel like not even the writers know what story they're trying to tell. It is only by the grace of the sea that this comic works as well as it does, and that is to say it works *fine*.
