The pacing is hit and miss but the story itself is extremely interesting. The ending is abrupt, as seems to always be the case, but otherwise is was a very interesting and enjoyable story, albeit with some lulls in interest

Picked up from Johns run after a letdown last volume. Art was solid. Thought the story was a little too contrived, wrapping up too well. Lots of focus on the history of Atlantis, which I like but was slow.

Enjoyable story that wrapped up just a little too quickly. Some cool guests appear. Nice artwork.

Fun plot, good characters, nice art, a small part for my favourite Martian, and a storyline which was comprehensible to me (aka, someone who has next to zero knowledge of Aquaman).

New 52 Aquaman has been surprisingly good, with consistently great artwork and colors throughout. The stories can resolve a little too neatly, but I can't deny Johns + Parker's adventurous expansions of Atlantean lore. The entire 'Maelstrom' arc in this book tipped it over into 4-star territory, with a bonus shoutout to J'onn J'onzz for his Psychic Martian CSI routine.

Hmmm. Well. Lot of hand-wavy comic book science here. Not the best collection of stories.

I didn't expect to cry, yet here we are.
I'm coming at this having read some of the early volumes, and having tried to stay with the current run. At this point, I'm not entirely certain what stories happened when or of it was within the volume. (Only a slight exaggeration)
I've really enjoyed the expansion of lore we've had. There's a bigger playground for the underwater world. As always, I've enjoyed Mera and Arthur's relationship as something devoted, healthy, and not dramatized. (ok ok at least so far)
I'd like to sit down and enjoy this series altogether some time. So, until then, see ya'll in Rebirth.
Edit: I read through my reviews/reactions to the soft reboot (DC YOU) and all I ever talked about was Mera lol. So yeah... that storyline. I see.
