No matter if Jackson is ready or not, the world needs Aquaman.
Arthur has been training Jackson all this time to become the next King of Atlantis but his student believes that there is a better way to deal with the responsibility.
The series comes to a conclusion and for the most part, is a pretty satisfying one.
Brandon Thomas brings the finale of this build-up for the upcoming Aquamen series by nicely developing the whole cast. One of the best aspects from this chapter is how the writer shows the dynamic between Arthur and Jackson, demonstrating their similarities and why the former thinks Jackson is the right person to become the new Aquaman, is good character work overall and considering what occurs at the end concerning Arthur and one of his oldest enemies, it makes things much more intriguing. The rest of the cast also gets decent moments and promise bigger things to come.
On the other hand, I feel like some of the events here could have been better implemented. For example, there's a part where Jackson's mother almost dies and considering how most of her background was explored in this series, I think it would have brought her character to a proper closure if she actually died and therefore motivated Jackson in a more powerful manner, the way is handled here with her just being injured is kinda weak. Not to mention that I still don't buy Jackson's sister changing sides and personality so fast. Still, they don't really ruin the read.
Diego Olortegui and Serg Acuna handle the art and their work is pretty consistent over the course of the issue with a lot of detail and a vibrant tone that depicts the story clearly.
Solid ending. However, I don't know how the upcoming series will deal with Arthur's announced death in Justice League. God, I hate editorial mandates.
