Seems like a sensible result: I honestly had no idea Aquaman was tossing cruise ships and subs around, that plus the trident makes this one-sided. DC does love their übermenschen.
If it wasn't for Aquaman's trident (about which I know little), I think the Thing would take this. Need to do a little research, although I admit I'm rooting for Ben.
I think Marvel are miscalculating the import of this. Very few people care. Still, if well written it could work. Bendis's record writing women does not fill me with optimism.
This was fun. Between this and FF, Matt Fraction's work is what I look forward to most every month. He's blessed with outstanding artists in both books: Aja's work here in particular is fantastic. It's always so cool when artists are willing to break free of the standard comic book tropes. This issue was half iconography and plan drawings. Love it.
I'd probably have gone for 3.5 stars. All right, but kind of flat, lacking good interaction, relying too heavily on interior monologue. Also felt they should have been able to move the plot along more.
