No reaction to the Annual 2 ? I really loved it, KSD is doing wonders with Aquaman and his corner of the DCU !
Yeah, I’m loving KSD’s run. My only qualm with her has been her action scenes. She’s really excelling in the personal moments and character beats but her action scenes fall a bit flat. They either feel extremely quick or it’s a page with 1 panel of the actual hit against four panels of talking or people in the background.
I also love how she’s dealing with the micro aggressions of the people of Amnesty Bay towards all the new heroes of color and how Arthur is maneuvering through it.

Agreed on the annual. KSD's run continues to be a solid one. Baring a few issues by Cullen Bunn during the DCYou era, Aquaman's been in great hands since the New 52. My only regret is that Jeff Parker's take on Atlanna seems to be forgotten. She was amazing!
I haven't been especially enjoying the main title for some time but really had fun with the Annual. Great balance of humor, suspense and super-heroics.
Anybody give the 100 pager a spin? The opening story by Steve Orlando was pretty solid, just wish it had some more room to breathe.
Retro315 no more. Anonymity is so 2005.

Jumping into Rebirth (3 years late, I know), but I wonder everyone’s thoughts on this era for the book? I just picked up the first 40 issues, KSD’s first storyline, with Drowned Earth soon to be bought.
I really like how KSD’s Aquaman is very light on action. That’s something I probably would not have appreciated in my younger years.
Imagine being proud to have negative traits. I can’t relate.

Welcome (back?)! It's been a great ride on the Aquaman book since New 52 (sans Bunn) and Rebirth hasn't dulled that. I will say the end of Abnett's run dragged a bit, but I imagine it reads a lot better in one sitting. I'm eager to see what some fresh eyes on the run show.
Dan Watter's OCEAN MASTER one shot was a perfect book. That's exactly what I want from comics, and Aquaman comics.
