    Short summary describing this issue.

    The Trench, Part Three last edited by Xoloilot on 07/05/20 02:51PM View full history

    The secret of the Trench revealed! Where did these cannibalistic sea creatures come from? What fuels their monstrous hunger? Why have they chosen now to invade the surface world? To unravel the mystery of the Trench, Aquaman must seek help from the last person on earth he ever wanted to see again.

    Aquaman and Mera visit Dr. Stephen Shin with one of the creatures. By studying the being's glands, Shin determines that this race came from the Mid-Atlantic Ridge in the Trench. Dr. Shin wants to keep the trench being but Aquaman refuses and then as the sea king and Mera are leaving, Shin makes on more attempt to find out where Atlantis is.

    On the way towards the home of the trench, Aquaman wonders if this race is on the verge of extinction, because of their need for food. Mera believes they are monsters but Aquaman thinks they are struggling to survive and the issue ends with the heroic couple descending into the abyss.

    The Story: Aquaman fights creatures from the Trench. Afterwards he takes the body of one of the creatures to an old acquaintance of his to gain more knowledge on this species.  My Thoughts:Aquaman has been one of my favorite series coming out of the new 52. I might rank it second to only Batman in all honesty. I've been loving what Geoff Johns has been doing and just the whole vibe he's bringing each issue. Hopefully more people will begin to give Aquaman the respect he deserves. He has been an ...
