And so ends Dan's run of Aquaman (I think? I believe there's a new writer for main series, after this are crossovers) But it was missing what boosted this series up for me. Stjepan Sejic art.

So of course with the new king going a little mad Aquaman has to push his plans up a little more. Murk is sent by the new king to finish off Aquaman but while he's doing that the king is evolving into a monster. No really, he has some dark energy thingy that transforms him into a fishy monster. Come on guys, this is Aquaman. In doing so he becomes a near unbeatable force but when Aqauman teams up with everyone else, will he having a fighting chance to end the civil war?

Good: The art isn't bad, let me clear that up. It's not Stjepan Sejic, but it's still solid enough. The fights are pretty great, usually brutal in a way, and of course lots of bloody floating everywhere because they're under water. I also enjoyed the last issue because it's building up to something pretty dang interesting.

Bad: Ugh the start of this is such a drag. To learn about the new king is so fucking boring. Who asked for this guys background? I also thought the pacing was all over the place. Sometimes mass amount of bubbles per page with endless exposition really slowed this one down far too much for its own good.

Overall, a pretty decent ending. Was fun for the most part but didn't have the grand epic feel I was hoping for. Like most of aquaman's run, it has it's ups and downs. I'm excited to see a new team on the project though. A 3 out of 5.
