Everyone should know that I love Aquaman. People who dislike him probably never read anything about him and just follow the popular misconception about him being lame. This reboot deals with that, Aquaman having to deal with people, both cops and criminals, considering him useless, and him proving otherwise. These four issues deal with the appearance of creatures from the deep, and Aquaman, alongside his wife Mera, dealing with them. While the plot isn't the most interesting, the characters are, from the secondary characters like Shin and Officer Wilson, to even tertiary characters that Aquaman meets at the bar.
The art is... frankly, it's the best thing about these issues. While I'm still a fan of Bearded Aquaman, Reis manages to give short-hair Aquaman a regal, tough look. Every panel is a joy to look at, and the art is consistently amazing throughout all the issues, with nothing looking odd, while employing many perspectives.
I give it 9 Aquababies out of 10.
