I didn't hate this volume but it felt like a major step down from the last two volumes. So now Aquaman is king and the next big adventure begins? What could be bigger than facing a old ass ice king who used to THE KING? Oh High School Reunion! DUM DUM DUM! No but really...that happens. We also have a few issues of Demigods escaping which brings in Wonder Women. We finally finish up the ending with Aquaman going head to head with Swamp Thing! OH SNAP CRACKLE AND A BIT OF POP!

What I liked: Aquaman at his school reunion was goofy but fun. Love the moment Mera met Arthur old lover. Funny times. I also enjoyed the swamp thing crossover. Sure it was just two issues but I liked how to protectors fought for obvious reasons but learn to come respect each other...kind of. Swamp Thing basically told him to fuck off but still lol.

What I didn't like: The Demi-god arc was kind of boring. I didn't find them scary or interesting. Wonder Women didn't help much either. Lame cameo that didn't add anything to the overall story. Also the art midway got pretty awful.

Aquaman drops a few notches in quality thanks to writer/artist shift. Let's hope it can recover. A 2.5 out of 5.
