Some thoughts about Aquaman #45

Aquaman will have to face new Gods.

Arthur is still trying to regain his memories but he will first have to learn about the history of a Goddess who is about to kill them all.

Jesus Christ, this is totally not working.

Kelly Sue DeConnick brings another chapter where she tries, and the key word is "tries", to give some depth to this story. I guess you could say there's an attempt to bring new mythology to the title and the story keeps playing with the mystery angle concerning Arthur's memories.

... And that's where the "positives" (if you can call them that) end since this is still one of the most BORING tales I've read in a while. The opening plays with the inevitable arrival of Arthur's new enemy but she's not nearly as interesting to justify such a big focus to her presence. Worst of all is that her background is explained with rather insipid writing that doesn't make you invested in it nor the peril she represents. Finally, this makes the issue pretty light in content and barely progresses the plot.

If there's something to appreciate here is Robson Rocha's wonderful pencils, his style is incredibly vibrant and he even manages to make the more supernatural scenes of the book worth looking at.

Aside from that, totally skippable and I've lost hope at this point.
