Aquaman #30 cover by Stepjan Sejic
Slightly underdone Sejic is still better than many artists. While this is an unexciting issue of Aquaman to discuss, it is still another solid entry in Dan Abnett and Sejic's tenure on Aquaman It lays the groundwork for the finale pretty well, and next issue should be quite something I do still recommend this issue, and[...]
Titans #17 Review: Donna Troy Meets Troia
She is here, and our Donna Troy doesn't know how to process this reality. This other Donna Troy is visibly unhinged and intent on wiping out the Titans on behalf of her younger self. All the while, young Wally West, AKA the Kid Flash, is still reeling from the apparent death of the elder Wally West, the[...]

Marvel Legacy Guardians Of The Galaxy #146 Review: Unexciting, But Promising
My renewed interest in the Guardians of the Galaxy comic is mostly as a result of the presence of Ant-Man and Nova Richard Rider, so that was a nice surprise for me. This issue, while not up to the legendary quality of the Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning material, definitely stands among the better Brian Michael[...]
Titans #16 Review: The End Of (Older) Wally West?
It's painfully obvious, and it's a rookie mistake. Titans #16 was good outside of that, and I do not mean to disparage Dan Abnett as a writer He's a phenomenal comics' scribe, and both this title and Aquaman are among the best of DC's output at this moment in time Everyone makes mistakes and has a[...]
Batman: The Drowned #1 cover by Jason Fabok and Brad Anderson
This doesn't make her a bad character, she simply isn't quite as great as those other versions of Batman. Also, we may now have a universe of origin for Dead Water, courtesy of the fact that Dan Abnett wrote this comic. Batman: The Drowned #1 art by Philip Tan and Dean White Philip Tan and Tyler Kirkham provide some good[...]
'Captain Kronos: Vampire Hunter' #1 Review: Bloody Fun
Grost is the more intellectual assistant, and Carla is a badass fighter. Dan Abnett is the writer, and he continues to show how he's one of the best pros in the industry It's paced well, and there is enough action and intrigue to keep the reader interested. The comic doesn't do anything new, especially smart, or innovative[...]
2000 AD #2051 Review: Riots, Gambling, And Angry Gods
However, it was still a fun read. Sinister Dexter by Dan Abnett, Jake Lynch, and John Charles finds its leads attempting to make due when a poker player they were supposed to protect is killed before they could get to him One hint: impersonation. This vignette rides once more on the fun of its protagonists, and it[...]
2000 AD #2050 Review: A Mixed Bag With Some Compelling Tales
The tank commander seems like an interesting guy, and the grayscale artwork is pretty damn expressive and intense. Grey Area's 'Homeland Security' arc by Dan Abnett and Mark Harrison tells the story of a number of brigades organized by Exo-Transfer Control and United Planets answering a potential threat in Kuwait. This short tale is pretty dull and[...]
'Aquaman' #28 Review: Those Are Some Spooky Ghosts
With compelling lead characters and a great plot, Dan Abnett and Stepjan Sejic have put together another great issue of Aquaman. Aquaman #28 art by Stepjan Sejic Corum Rath and his fundamentalist regime have turned into a great foil for Aquaman's progressivism, and Krush and Kadaver are good heavies to stand between Arthur and Corum. Vulko, who I[...]
Titans #15 Review: The Titans Begin To Collapse

Dan Abnett's Titans continues to be one of the all-stars of DC's Rebirth This issue is one of the high points of the series in spite of its minute shortcomings This was a[...]

Aquaman
To aid his efforts, the Widowhood send some back-up for the former advisor to the king. Mera searches for help from an old friend: Tempest of the Titans.

Aquaman #26 Review: The King Continues To Rock
Can he withstand the interrogation of the veteran warrior, or will he spill all of his secrets to the Corum Rath regime? Dan Abnett and Stepjan Sejic continue their hot streak with a second incredible comic delivered after that astonishing #25 This comic looks beyond gorgeous thanks to the work of Sejic, and the story remains[...]
Rebirth Recap: Aquaman
[rwp-review-recap id="0"] Dan Abnett has mastered the art of writing Aquaman in a manner that few have After Geoff Johns "made Aquaman cool" with his excellent run at the beginning of New 52, the book entered a steady plateau of quality It never got bad, but it never wowed in the same way that Geoff Johns'[...]
Rebirth Recap: Titans – A Jewel Of Modern DC
That's just kind of how art and literature works. Dan Abnett and Brett Booth's Titans seems like a good place to start It's sort of the prime Rebirth comic The return of Wally West was the lynchpin of DC Universe: Rebirth, and the lighter tone of Titans certainly exemplifies the direction that DC is trying to[...]

Stewart Lee On Dan Abnett And Not Writing
Dan Abnett has signed an exclusive deal with DC Comics Writing Titans and Aquaman, it looks like he will no longer be writing Guardians Of Infinity – or indeed any Guardians for Marvel and Civil War II: Gods of War may be his Marvel swan song for some time to come. I'm hoping for more of The[...]
