Aquaman #27
*Not sure why, but can't find the comicvine page for this particular issue*
I'll make this brief. Very nice issue here. Jeff Parker is carrying the Aquaman torch well. I like how he writes these characters, Aquaman in particular, and the almost tug-of-war played between his human and Atlantean kin - more specifically the power plays going on between them with Arthur being caught in the middle.
The art is inconsistent in this issue which cost it an even better review from me. But Paul Pelletier's art, when it is there, is so dynamic and suited to Aquaman that you forget about the toned down work of the other artist. If this book could have Pelletier doing all the interiors, there's no doubt in my mind this book could be one of DC's best!
Aquaman is a book I haven't had officially on my pull, but one that I have a couple trades for and pick up when I get the chance. Starting back up at Jeff Parker's run feels like being thrown in to the deep end of the pool, but sometimes that's a great way to start with a book. And I'm happy to say Aquaman is still holding strong.
4/5 Tridents!
