Aquaman Vol. 3: Crown of Atlantis (Rebirth) by Dan Abnett
2.0
This is a volume that is balancing a few different storylines and I don’t think it’s doing them very well. You have Arthur going off to fight a robot that has become human and has ptsd, fighting creatures spawned from dark water, and dealing with his kingdom.
The robot is pretty alright, the dark water/monsters were the highlight of this volume and if it was only that I’d regard it higher. The Council stuff feels like it comes out of nowhere, it doesn’t because it’s been built up in he last volume, but an issue of slower paced plotting is missing.
The art is fine but not great. It feels as though the writer wrote a script and then sent it to an artist and there was no more communication then that between the two.
Overall it’s alright but I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone other than big Aquaman fans. It’s not Geoff Johns run but it has some good moments and interesting concepts.
2 stars.
