Aquaman Vol. 2: Black Manta Rising (Rebirth) by Dan Abnett

4.0

Many people make fun of Aquaman because his power isn't as flashy as some of the other members of the Justice League. Shoot, I was one of those people at one point. But this series does Aquaman so much justice. It clearly defines his powers and strengths - stronger and more durable. It also showcases why Aquaman might be the best member of Justice League (outside of Wonder Woman of course). In many ways, his sense of responsibility for both Atlantis and his hometown showcase a compassion. The fact that he is in a stable and loving relationship with a woman who is his equal and who he respects and loves. The fact that he works alongside women and puts them in positions of power. The fact that the supporting class is very diverse.

The fact that one member of the supporting class, Ajar, clearly has a hero crush on Mera.

This was good storytelling.
