Been a while since I posted here, so I suppose I should start by saying I used to go by Ningen. Yeah, the fanboy's back. Now then, on to what I thought.
The art was great. Makes me wish Butch Guice had been on the title all along. Everything looks nice.
The story would have been good, except it's essentially just a retelling of Orin's origin. This is a completely new character, but, if everything goes according to the Dweller of the Depths, it's the same old story. I can say, however, that the tone of the story is a good one. It seems more based in fantasy than superheroics, which is a direction I always wanted to see Aquaman take.
Also, I can't be the only one that thinks the Dweller of the depths is Orin, can I? If that's how they're taking it, then I'm a bit disappointed. Not because of his appearance or role, mind you, but, rather, because if it's Orin, they gave it away far too easily.
