Aquaman, Volume 1: The Drowning (Rebirth) by Dan Abnett
3.0
So, with the Justice League movie hitting theatres in less than two months (!!!!), you are bound to see me reading more and more DC comic books, as the date approaches and my excitement increases. The Drowning is, actually, my first solo Aquaman run, and even though I do have a few complaints, I can see myself getting into his solos.
Overall, I’d say it’s a pretty mediocre volume. It’s not bad exactly, but it doesn’t stand out either. It’s a bit messy and a bit all over the place, but I found the actual storyline quite intriguing. The premise is good, the execution falls a little short, but it’s not a particularly bad volume I regret spending money on.
I loved the action sequences – especially Mera punching a certain someone (yes, yes I do love that certain someone, but it was fun to watch) – even if their presence meant the characters would be inconsistent and somewhat out of character. As I’ve said: not a great volume, but a damn fun one.
