Aquaman #9 Review
CONSENSUS: This is a fantastic issue of Aquaman with positive reviews across the board. While it's not a great jumping on point for new readers, for fans of the new series so far it's simply a must-buy with great writing and some gorgeous art.
Comic Vine: "Overall, you have to pick up this series, and while this isn't the best jump on point, it's totally worth your time." 100
Super Podcast Magnifico!: "This is another great issue in a consistently strong series. I really can't find anything negative about this issue. The revelation herein will have lasting ramifications on this title, and may change the way some people look at Aquaman. But hey, at least people are looking at him." 100
Player Affinity: "I'm enjoying what Johns and Reis are doing in Aquaman. The man from Atlantis is no longer a B or C-list hero any longer. I'm not left wondering why he's a member of the Justice League. He doesn't seem like a token member any more. I can't wait to see where Johns and Reis take the conflict between Black Manta and Aquaman in the next issue." 90
CBR: ""Aquaman" #9 is a fine slice of what makes this series so very enjoyable, from story to characters to art, but being couched in the middle of "The Others," it is a bit thick to wade into. For fans already soaking in this series however, this issue is certain to be a highlight. Without spoiling it, I can say there are two eyebrow-raising surprises in the final two pages of this issue. Coupled with Reis' stunning artwork, this issue is a must read." 90
IGN: "Aquaman is really benefiting from having one of DC's best writers and one of its best artists in control. The series seems destined to only get better from here." 90
iFanBoy: 90
Crave Online: "Aquaman #9 is another huge leap forward not just for the hero, but also for the New 52." 90
Weekly Comic Book Review: "For those of you who remember Johns' superb early work on Teen Titans and the rebirthed Green Lantern, he's bringing some of that same magic here." 85
