I picked this up pretty late after having read the next few volumes. I liked that Mera is crowned and faces her first diplomatic issue as the Suicide Squad is sent to blow Atlantis back to the depths.



Arthur tries to keep this on the down low but fails. It was surprising how rational and empathetic Deadshot, Harley and Master Jailer were.



I thought Harley would be more violent and crazy. Lord Satanis looked like Magneto and felt like a caricature of a villain.



The art was so-so.

Loved seeing Suicide Squad come into Aquaman’s world. So much to like in this volume: the political conundrum of Atlantis actually being above the waves, the long awaited coronation, the throne complicating Mera/Arthur’s relationship, the craziest strike team mission to bring down an entire civilisation & Waller’s great foresight to think ahead of everyone. Fun issue!

Aquaman / Suicide Squad : Sink Atlantis is a rare example of a combination of issues from different titles that actually presents a fully coherent story line. That being said, this is a fun read, but not a particularly original or innovative story. There are the expected hijinks and ditzy comments from Harley. The other Suicide Squad characters are mostly too understated or too "moustache twirly" for my taste. Mera, now queen of Atlantis, comes across as a forceful well developed character but Arthur and the gang are predictable and almost incidental to the story. There's a nice twist at the end so the book is nowhere near as disappointing as it might be. All in all, this is a fun read and a good distraction for an hour or two but it is not a blockbuster or really essential to understanding the over all continuity of the current Aquaman saga.

Weirdly, I was more into the Suicide Squad half of of this story. Wait, should I be reading Suicide Squad?
