  Casual buyers should be aware that this volume has significant issue overlap with Justice League Volume 3: Throne of Atlantis, but I daresay this is the superior collection by far. Toward providing a complete story, the inclusion of Aquaman #0 and 14 here is a far better prologue to the drama surrounding Arthurs decisions than Justice League #13 and 14 are in the previous hardcover release. They create a backstory to the conflict that adds a ton of depth and gravitas to the dilemma all the characters face, and truly give the end result a sense that modern mythology is being formed. One of the strongest volumes to be released by DC Comics in the New 52 to date, Aquaman Volume 3 is a great place to start if youve never encountered the Sea King before, but its also a bold continuation on one of the strongest runs of the past two years. Youd be hard pressed to find a better buy for your dollars. Read Full Review
