Aquaman: Rebirth #1

Wow. Really – WOW. Dan Abnett couldn ’ t have produced a less excite, less revolutionize, more generic or pure work-for-hire while of hackery than he did with Aquaman Rebirth # 1. It ’ s not even so-bad-it ’ s-good, it ’ second barely bad – I put this amusing down doubly before forcing myself to power through to the end and it ’ s just one regular-length issue !

Wow. Really – WOW. Dan Abnett couldn ’ thymine have produced a less stimulate, less inhale, more generic or pure work-for-hire piece of hackery than he did with Aquaman Rebirth # 1. It ’ s not even so-bad-it ’ s-good, it ’ mho merely bad – I put this comic down twice before forcing myself to power through to the end and it ’ s barely one regular-length issue !

Granted, Aquaman didn ’ thymine appear a lot in DC Universe Rebirth # 1 and what we did see wasn ’ t very concern : Arthur proposing to Mera ( again ? Is their marriage being rebooted excessively ? ) and Aqualad appearing. Well, guess what – neither of those fib possibilites appear in this emergence !

rather we ’ ve got some disposable Aqua-terrorists trying to blow up some seaside town… zzz… yeah, they ’ ra equitable there for Aquaman to punch ( we ’ ra mean to be excited by that ) while Abnett drones on, giving the reader long-winded pieces of information about Aquaman. Mayhap that ’ s utilitarian to modern readers who don ’ deoxythymidine monophosphate know the character but honestly it still feels like you ’ ra being lectured by a bore substitute teacher read from a casebook !

Geoff Johns ’ New 52 Aquaman was one of the success stories of that boot and it ’ second about like DC handed Abnett the first exit from that run and told him to replicate it, possibly in a delusion that readers will be just as impress. That means once more we ’ re told that some people think Aquaman ’ s a joke, we ’ ra shown him being a badass, and he even winds up in the same fish restaurant from that issue ! Abnett ’ s not closely a talented as Johns though therefore the emergence reads like a plodding ordeal alternatively of a satiny and bombastic presentation.

The amusing ends in the blandest potential means with Aquaman ’ s nemesis Black Manta explaining to the lector his motivations and plans for revenge against Aquaman. How by-the-fucking-numbers can you get ?

I didn ’ t have high hopes for Aquaman given his atrocious last few books with different creative teams, all floundering for purchase on the fictional character somewhere, but this was far worse than I expected. DC/Dan Abnett took no chances with this one and in doing so gave us an atrocious amusing no-one could possibly be concerned in or a series anyone could be excited about reading – it ’ second not so much a rebirth as it is a rework ! This emergence stank like rotten fish – the freefall Aquaman ’ s been in since Johns stopped writing him unfortunately continues.
