When the town of Amnesty Island is besieged by a series of shark attacks, authorities call Aquaman for help! What's unusual about this case is that the shark isn't trying to kill people-he just wants to talk to them. The very confused Jabberjaw needs to get back to Aqualand, the future undersea utopia where he came from. But that peaceful city where man and sentient sea life have been living in harmony has been turned into a dystopian nightmare created by a new Ocean Master. Now the King of Atlantis and his friendly shark ally have to team up to set things right. Also includes a Captain Caveman meets the wizard Shazam in a short story by Jeff more

In short, this was not the book I expected it to be, and I couldn't be happier to be so wrong. Read Full Review
This wasn't as intense or serious as some of the other DC/HB team-ups, but Abnett found just the right note to strike in capturing the spirit of Jabberjaw and the King of Atlantis. Read Full Review
Just a fun issue all around with no weak spots. Read Full Review
Aquaman Jabberjaw Special #1 is a fun and pleasing issue with a decent bonus story about heroism. The Special's message of desegregation is simple, but it shines with adding humor and compassion. Read Full Review
A fun crossover if I ever saw one. Read Full Review
Dan Abnett's sea-based crossover goes beyond the basic comparisons between these two characters to explore some deeper themes that reside in both franchises. A healthy amount of laughs and solid artwork are let down by some pacing issues and an entirely unnecessary backup. Read Full Review
Ultimately I was supremely underwhelmed with this special. Read Full Review
So much fun! I just need a bowl of Froot Loops, giant spoon, and my PJs to make it a complete return to my Saturday morning rituals. Jabberjaw was one of my faves.
There are generally two types of silly comics - those that are just silly, and those who embrace their silliness and use it to elevate themselves to new heights. Aquaman paired with Jabberjaw is a match made in heaven - you can't help but enjoy it and its goofiness.
Most definitely a great, unexpected team-up, I hope Arthur and Neptunes will cross paths sometime in the future!
