Kelly Sue DeConnick’s run on Aquaman sought to grow the character’s mythology in some creative ways, and DeConnick and artist Miguel Mendonca pay all of that effort off with a thrilling and heartwarming chapter to conclude off this delightful run. Everything readers loved about the series to date is present here, and it sets up Arthur, Mera, and Atlantis in promising new ways moving forward. Arthur Curry is a much stronger character now than he was when DeConnick arrived, and while a super-sized issue would’ve been welcome to mark this occasion, it is still quite the event.
