A review by nicolet2018
Aquaman, Vol. 2: Amnesty by Viktor Bogdanovic, Robson Rocha, Kelly Sue DeConnick

3.0

The hard cover edition comes with a nice splash print spanning the front and back cover with the jacket on top.

Finally everyone knows Arthur is alive again but Mera does not go to find him. Strange.
SpoilerIt is revealed that she accidentally killed him after having a freak out when he wants to live after she mentions she is pregnant
. First, omg! yes, they would make great parents. But there was miscommunication, Arthur is haunted by what his mother had to do in the past and fears Mera will have to choose as the queen. I wished he talked to her about it and sorted it out. Heck, they need to sort things out but are both too stubborn to reach out. Please get them to work it out, I have grown to love them as a couple.

I did like seeing Wonder Woman briefly in this volume.



She does give him a realistic reaction when he tells her what happened with him and Mera.



The old sea gods return with Arthur to Amnesty Bay and he is welcomed by his friends like officer Erika. He takes under his wing, Black Manta's son Jackson. I did not now know he was the new Aqualad. But the teenager has harsh lessons to learn when everyone is mobilised to fight a scary skull sea monster.



As usual, it does not take much to stir Black Manta's thirst for revenge and violence. I want this character to give it up. The art was great at times and meh at others.

I felt like Arthur's personality changes abit more to the more relaxed feel of Jason Mamoa's Arthur Curry in this volume. His character is more at peace than in previous runs.
