The legend of Arthur Curry says that he comes from the lost kingdom of Atlantis and that apparently gives him the right to receive sacrifices in his honor, that is unless somebody stops him.
The reimaginations of DC heroes as monsters continue and this is an interesting one at least.
Bryan Hill offers a new chapter of this direction by creating one of the most horrible reinterpretations of a superhero yet (at least in this book). As I said before, you can only go so far by twisting this classic characters and turn them into psychopaths before it gets old but thankfully this one focuses on a more intriguing premise that tries to put the origin of this Aquaman in doubt and portrays him as a pretty dangerous and terrible being from the start which helps to make his presence much more powerful. Mind you, this might end-up becoming in the typical "psycho without an actual reason or development" thing we have seen so far in this title but this one at least a little more intriguing.
I have a problem with the content though, there's very little here. The story sets-up the direction nicely but it ends before it starts getting good and before we even meet the villain which makes all this build-up a bit anticlimactic at the end.
Larry Hama handles the breakdowns while N. Steven Harris finishes the job and the result is still the same rough but competent at storytelling style.
Not bad overall, hope the following issue doesn't disappoint.
