Aquaman Vol. 1: Unspoken Water by Kelly Sue DeConnick
5.0
Thank you to NetGalley and DC for this ARC in exchange for an honest review. I am beyond grateful.
Kelly Sue DeConnick and Robson Rocha are an unstoppable duo. The story and art of this trade paperback are both amazing, and as high as my expectations already were, they were exceeded. I have never been an avid Aquaman fan, but I did go to see the Aquaman movie last winter and enjoyed it. Since then I have begun to dip my toes into his story. When I saw that DeConnick (author of my personal favorite run of Captain Marvel comics) was working on the new Aquaman comics, I knew I needed to read them as soon as possible.
Even if you know very little about Aquaman and his story, this collection of comics is still extremely followable and enjoyable. It starts off a little slow, for about the first 10 pages, but once it picks up, you will be fully hooked. If you have any interest in Aquaman, or even getting started reading some DC, this would be a great place to start, because you don't have to worry about crossovers with other comics. Any reader is bound to be captivated by the story and characters, especially since it is paired with such well-done art. An easy five stars.
This collected edition of comics will be published on August 13th, and it is not one you are going to want to miss!
