The artwork for the whole Aquaman Rebirth series has been pretty amazing. Broines has done the art for several books in the new Aquaman series and they all have captured not just a rich vibrate pallet but some nice visual contrast between the surface and underwater realms. Although the cover and writing for the book are both excellent, the artwork for this issue edges out everyone else to take the winners circle.

Batman Beyond #1was a solid issue and made me excited for the series again, and this is going to be a regular part of my pull list.

Overall the issue was enjoyable and a nice addition to the DC Rebirth slate of books and a strong kickoff to the series. I am hopeful the series continues to hit the same high notes that this issue managed to ring in future issues of both the Rebirth mini-series and the upcoming regular title.

All in all this was an enjoyable issue. As I said I was not a big Adam Strange fan before this issue so the comic's ability to bring me up to speed on his origin, powers and relationships was great. The only issue I have is a small problem with the time jump. I don't mind time jumps, but I prefer that it be resolved before the end of the issue and this left us a bit short of that. Overall, worth the view if you are a Hawkman fan or want to get to know Adam Strange a bit more.
