What happens when one of the deadliest assassins on earth has lost his principal motivation?
Black Manta is free thanks to the new reign of the Crime Syndicate but
now that Aquaman is gone where can he direct his anger? The answer will
suddenly appear once that Ultraman steps on his life.
This the first of two collaborations between Geoff Johns and Tony Bedard
on Aquaman. However, Bedard hasn't delivered a truly impressive job
since the New 52 started so my expectaions about him are pretty low
already, so what's my opinion about this issue? I thought it worked...
for the most part.
Bedard's portrayal of Black Manta is faithful enough to his current
interpretation, the action he commits, his motivations and past, all of
it is well explained, the narration was solid too. The problem is that
this issue felt like a pretty short read and Manta's motivation for
going against the Crime Syndicate is a bit too simplistic, it does the
job though.
Claude St. Aubin is doing the pencils in this issue and his work looks
pretty good, but at times it looked kinda inconsistent, especially at
the depiction of some villains.
Well, this was solid, not great but solid nonetheless.
