    This book is funny, smart, fantastical and reels the reader in by giving them something both familiar and unfamiliar simultaneously. Read Full Review

    You Don't Read Comics - Christopher Landers

    Overall, this issue was a fun read with great character moments, and it leaves the reader wanting to know more about the North Korean Aqua-Man, with his mysterious powers and his heartbreaking story of oppression. The creative team had a little bit of a rough start last issue with the title change, and the new focus on the League, but part two of the arc found its footing, and the story is shaping up to be one of the best this book has seen since it began.

    The stakes are raised and the action is intense in this second installment about a guy defecting from North Korea under pressure from some friends. Those friends happen to be giant mythical spider crabs. This book is well-paced and very engrossing, and if you didn't jump onto this series last issue when the status quo changed, get off the fence and check it out! Read Full Review

    I am always entertained by this comic. I look forward to it every month. This issue encapsulates it so well. Asian mythology and philosophy. Familial angst. Teen romance. All somehow gelled in a great story. I will enjoy this book as long as it lasts. Read Full Review

    This is crazy on all levels. This book tackles current international political issues without being too political, which is a huge issue with today's comics.

    The moment I saw the cover of this issue, I knew I want to read it, because it may as well be "so bad it's actually good". You know, like Hong Kong 97, or The Room. Just the catchphrase, "introducing the new Aqua-Man of North Korea" was enough for me to buy it, and expect a trip I wouldn't get from any weed or shrooms. Too bad it wasn't really a trip, and didn't make laugh as i expected. Instead, it was a painfully obvious one dimentional political commentary made by someone who knows very little about global politics to begin with. Look, I like good political commentary - Alan Moore and Frank Miller nailed the mid 1980s cold war paranoia devouring the US in Watchmen and The Dark Knight Returns respectively, for example, and that's one of more
