review:
'Justice League/Aquaman: Drowned Earth' by Scott Snyder and a whole host of artists is a mega-event starring Aquaman and spanning 232 pages over 8 different issues of comic book.
Sea creatures from space invade the Earth and flood it. The Legion of Doom joins the fight. The aliens even bring a death kraken from space. Along the way Aquaman and Mera fight to save Atlantis and Aquaman even tries to appeal to Poseidon. The Titans show up for an issue, then are never seen again. The people of Earth that are touched by the aliens change into sea mutants. This also happens to some of the members of the Justice League. The only thing that may help is something that Arion, Atlantis' greatest hero, built long ago.
It's a pretty massive story, and it flails about a bit. I know the Titans are here just to sell a title, but they didn't have much to do with moving the plot along. Not being a regular reader left me confused about Batman and Dick Grayson. I think the decision to move in the pirate direction seemed a bit silly. Superman in an eyepatch was just kind of dumb. There is lots of action, and how much you care about it all probably will depend on how much you like Aquaman.
I received a review copy of this graphic novel from DC Entertainment and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
