Some thoughts about Aquaman: Rebirth #1

Who knows Aquaman better than anybody?

Arthur is doing what he does best, trying to protect both Atlantis and the surface world but his own people are not making things easier and everything is going to be even more complicated once that an old enemy returns.

This definitely felt more like a continuation than a relaunch and I'm glad for it.

Dan Abnett brings the beginning of a new volume with properly presenting the scenes in a way that describes Aquaman nicely. Mind you, I don't think he does a better job than Geoff Johns during the first New 52 issue since Abnett tries to say more compared to what Johns did in just a few lines or dialogue and scenes, is a bit blunt in that way. Speaking of which, this chapter seems to be heavily inspired by Johns' run since it touched a lot of the plot-points he created during his work and I hope it continues to develope them.

Not all is derivative though since Abnett presents his own creations as well as interesting and accurate characterization, you can count with all the cast acting like themselves. Abnett seems to have a thing for villains who talk to themselves though which can be kinda awkward.

Scot Eaton and Oscar Jimenez handle the artwork and is decent with expressive enough characters and detailed action. Is not fantastic though.

Is a decent beginning overall, hope more new ideas start appearing though.
