So many years later and this series still rules. A great introduction to the character of Aquaman that sets up a ton of fantastic stories down the road. I do have one complaint though and that’s Mera. The hot-headed Aqua-kinetic doesn’t get much time to shine this book outside of a brief story at the end. The origin story they give Mera is very interesting, but I wish she had a more active role in the main plot of the book. She comes across more as eye candy than Arthur’s partner until she gets an entire issue dedicated to her. She gets her due in later stories, but it’s a notable flaw in the first arc. Still this is a good start to a series that totally reshapes the world of Aquaman and how readers see the character. I’m really looking forward to re-reading the rest of this series.
