Aquaman and The Others are united again to face a new supernatural threat.
Morgane Le Fey has stolen Vostok's helmet so she can acquire its power
and to prevent that from happening The Others will have to face their
own worst fears and weaknesses and some of them may actually succumb to
their influence.
Okay, some aspects from the original premise have been altered. At first
this story's focus was going to be about a new owner of Vostok's helmet
but now it has been changed to be about The Others battling against
Morgane Le Fey, still, John Ostrander does a great job at portraying all
these characters and their motivations. I'm serious, when The Others
first appeared on Geoff Johns' Aquaman run they were a pretty cool
concept but lacked some subtance and personality.
Now, Ostrander manages to inject their own voice and strenghts not only
personality-wise but also in terms of their abilities, The Operative is a
much more Batman-style paranoid soldier, The Prisoner is actually funny
at times now and Ya'wara, well, you will know.
Geraldo Borges handles the art and it's simply amazing. He follows the
same tone that Ivan Reis and Paul Pelletier have been developing on the
main series and he does it wonderfully, full of detail a greatly
looking. This man deserves more work.
This was obviously a set-up for the upcoming The Others ongoing series
and so far it's a pretty promising premise. Well written, interesting
direction and future, let's just hope they keep Borges on pencils.
