Aquaman Sword Of Atlantis #45


Ocean Master’s army wants to eliminate the Atlanteans and the new Aquaman is leading the fight against his army of human-controlled mechanized robots. But after suffering a major wound by the Ocean Master, Aquaman may not be alive to see the end of the fight. Can he recover in time to lead the troops to victory? And even if he recovers, what can the destitute Atlanteans do against mechanized robots?

One aspect of a good hero is that they can use their brains as well as their muscles to get out of dire situations. This is what Arthur Joseph Curry does this issue and remarkably too. Although he and his allies have no chance of defeating Ocean Master, it is Arthur that inspires them and finds the solution that will save them from the surface men. Readers wondering where the original Aquaman was can also expect closure.

Butch Guice does a god job this issue with the underwater fight. It is quite odd to see giant robots and floating Atlanteans at once in the same panel in an underwater cave. In past issues, it seemed like the Altanteans were not submerged, but Guice has fixed that this issue and the action, including the characters’ hair do seem to be underwater.
