AQUAMAN #15
by Geoff Johns and Paul Pelletier
Good job Aquaman, way to pull a Namor.
The Justice League are jerks. Let's get that out of the way. They can't seem to trust Aquaman for one measly minute, as he tries to work out a truce with his brother. So, now that we've got that out of the way... The second chapter of Throne of Atlantis is not as good as the first part in Justice League #15. It's boring, as characters do things that are out of character for them. And is the cliffhanger really supposed make us think that Batman's going to die? Now, lets talk about the big decision Arthur makes here. Johns has made Aquaman too much like Sub-Mariner from Marvel, it might as well be a Marvel/DC crossover. It's a bit problematic, and the art doesn't help matters either.
Paul Pelletier tries to imitate Ivan Reis, and he does a... OK, he doesn't really do a good job of it. The art seems messy and rough, and then feels weirdly cartoonish towards the end. However, Art Thibert's inks keep some scenes that would probably look muddled without them so, good job with that!
Aquaman #15 is the worst issue of one of DC's best titles. I'm sad it had to be like this Mr. Johns but...
STORY: 2/5
ART: 3/5
VERDICT: 2.5/5
