I’m not usually a fan of when writers have to write their way into understanding a character. Jeremy Adams may be new to writing Aquaman, but I’ve read over 100 issues of Aquaman titles plus various spin-offs and events, and I’m not confused about what makes the character tick. I was impatient when Becky Cloonan and Michael Conrad pulled Diana out of the forward action at the start of their run with Wonder Woman Vol. 1: Afterworlds and I was impatient when Kelly Sue DeConnick had an amnesic Aquaman at the start of her run with Aquaman Vol. 1: Unspoken Water, and so now a second quest for Aquaman to find himself (or for Adams to find him) feels like a lot of biding time.
