If you reboot a character and a series then you have to reintroduce all of the characters and retell all of the major events in the characters lives - simply assuming that those reading these books were reading the comics pre-reboot and will therefore know what youre talking about without introducing things properly for new readers is simply sloppy and lazy. The biggest and most insurmountable problem with this book (and with many of DCs New 52 books) is the complete laziness of DC to fully commit to each series being a reboot, as theyre supposed to be. Aquaman, Mera and the Others must regroup to defeat Black Manta and stop him from getting the powerful instrument that sank Atlantis back to his mysterious employer. A villain called Black Manta is killing Aquamans old friends collectively known as The Others, the group he belonged to before joining the Justice League, and stealing the sources of their power which happen to be relics of Atlantis. Arthur Curry is Aquaman, the grumpiest mermaid ever, who returns for a second outing in The Others in what is his weakest and most forgettable adventure yet.
