And Then I Read: AQUAMAN 37

The Maelstrom storyline is taking Arthur and Mera through ancient Atlantean gateways, this time to Gorilla City, home of Grodd. I liked Grodd better when he was smarter, before recent events in THE FLASH, and he shows some signs of getting back to that here, though that’s dragged down by the deal he makes with Aquaman. Arthur wants information about the gateways and who has been using them lately. In exchange for that, Grodd wants a one-on-one fight between them. Of course: comics. Like I said, Grodd was better when he simply out-thought his opponents. The art looks good, and the gateway plot is interesting, so I’ll see how the rest of this goes.

Mildly recommended.
