A long story isn't as much a problem if you're consistently engaged, and Dan Abnett has kept me consistently engaged and excited with each new issue.
That isn't to say there isn't a slight weariness building within my conscience, and I imagine others feel the same way However, this story has considerably more stamina than Black[...]

Aquaman #33 cover by Stjepan Sejic

Aquman has had a lengthy yet consistently compelling runnign story with "Underworld," which has consisted of Arthur, Mera, and Dolphin attempting to liberate Atlantis from the tyrannical Corum Rath, a nationalistic and bigoted ruler who has been abusing the old magics of the undersea kingdom.
