Scott's Take: Aquaman/Green Arrow: Deep Target by Brandon Thomas


Aquaman/Green Arrow: Deep Target by Brandon Thomas is about the Green Arrow and Aquaman switching places and living in a freaky Friday type time travel scenario.  They will attempt to uncover the truth and undo this switcheroo. This tale is in honor of their 80th anniversary of each of the characters.

 

In this at times confusing tale Green Arrow and Aquaman face the challenges for being thrust into someone else’s life while having to stay alive. One minor critique is neither their love interests or any of the supporting casts or usual enemies appear to show how this switcheroo affected them.  Even the fact that Aquaman is married and has a child is ignored. The repercussions of the switch on others is ignored which seems to be a mistake and a lost storytelling opportunity.

 

The art is good and there is plenty of action. It is nice that Aquaman and Green Arrow have a title even if it is a team up title.  If you like both characters, you should enjoy this seven-issue tale.

 

 

My reading copy came by way of the Hoopla App and the Dallas Public Library System.
