This arc doesn't have the wild visual sense of the battle against Dagon, but it continues a fascinating effort at building Aquaman's mythology in this run. Read Full Review
Aquaman #10 combines the ongoing saga of Aquaman's power boost and missing family with a truly fun, classic aquatic horror story. It's a great example of a book that can handle both the epic and the ridiculous elements of the Aquaman mythos. Though this issue is a surprisingly quick read, and ultimately one that could be skipped without missing a major beat in the overarching plot, it's still a satisfying single-issue adventure that reminds us why Aquaman is the protector of all watery domains.

While I enjoyed Aquaman #10, I miss the straight forward adventure story that was presented in the first arc. I felt a lot of the supporting cast, especially Nemo are being sidelined in favor of exploring Arthur’s new powers. While this is fine and understandable I do miss the “Justice League: Blue” and the nuances they gave to the book. I did think Aquaman fighting ghost pirates was super fun, the only thing missing was Topo to make this a true classic. The mystery surrounding Atlantis and now Aquaman’s daughter are interesting … but not exactly intriguing. I’m still squarely behind this title, but am worried it might be drifting out to sea a little.
