A new storyline begins this issue, and it brings to light some characters from Aquaman’s past; a group of heroes known as The Others. At least, they seem to be heroes, and as the issue opens, one of them is being hunted down by longtime Aquaman villain Black Manta, usually a good indication. Meanwhile, Arthur and Mera are helping ships caught in a fierce Atlantic storm, and later are looking into the strange artifact Arthur recovered from the sea floor last arc, one that matches the symbol on his belt. It’s a good opener with lots of action and some interesting developments.

Artist Ivan Reis is back to full pencils this time, which means the art is back to excellent in every way, as far as I’m concerned.
