With characters off in different directions, this week’s Aquaman and The Others is like two stories in one, with the threat of KGBeast and his accomplice Cheshire against poor Prisoner-of-War’s troubled past highlighting the issue.
Positives
The artwork was fantastic, I really loved the huge splash pages details. As much as the issue had a lot of these pages, the immense expression and movement in each panel was stunning. Cheshire stole the show for me and the villain team looks really interesting. It was a surprise to see her team up with KGBeast but none the less she’s still as sassy as ever and I’m glad to see they kept her that way.
Negatives
My biggest negative was the text. Way too much crammed into panels then a giant splash page. With that risk with having so many characters talking, the text can clog up the comic panels sometimes and detracts from the artwork. The villain’s base on the moon was another random element, I have heard too many funny places for hideouts but the moon seemed really clichéd to me. Another issue was the second story with Prisoner of War. I found it very jumbled and was staggered between the other events so I didn’t get the full impact of what was going on with it.
Verdict
Aquaman and The Others now have to deal with a rival villains team who seem to have their own agendas but will the ladies manage to gain control of their friend in time to help? Stay tuned to see if the group will reunite and what they plan to do about the reneged villains.
