Final verdict: 55/100
For a first time reader learning about one of the many origin stories.
It starts out good but ends up crashing like a wave against the cliffs of an uninhabited island.
Some people seem to enjoy these types of stories, but I can't recommend this at all.
The second half was simply not good.
Whoever decided the second half was a good idea needs to be shot point blank.
I hope B&B Starro the Conqueror gives a better representation of the character.
I didn't have much time for self promotion lately due to real life stuff.
But if you like to see what I created with the help of my hardworking friend @nefariouswatcher .
Jaguar Warrior Issue 2: Ascension is now available on @GlobalComix and Gumroad where you could get a DRM free print ready PDF for just 2 EUR or 2 USD (A physical copy of Issue 2 is also available on Gumroad for 8 EUR minus shipping costs). Issue 2 will also be the only silent chapter, since silent comics are not my strongest point.
And if you want to figure out how the patron god of the Scorpios escaped his imprisonment. You could also pick up Jaguar Warrior Issue 1: Death of the Family for the exact same price. And or get a physical edition for 8 EUR.
Shipping costs is something I can't control. My apologies in advance.

I forgot about this series. I think Aquaman is a challenging character to write since many people have such a negative view of the character. The writer has a lot to overcome to make the character seem cool. Thanks for the shout-out as well! I expect better from Peter David as well.
You can not convince me that the second half was a good idea.
I own the first (and as far as I'm aware, only) volume of a trade paperback that collects the earliest issues beginning Peter David's run as Aquaman writer in the '90s. I admit that I barely have recollection of the contents when I did get around to going through it cover-to-cover, as I was mostly interested in the change in design that Arthur goes through after he suffers a particular, notorious bout of grievous bodily harm.
“Fathered by an Atlantean wizard”. That is weird, as I've found out only since reading this that the alternate origin for Power Girl, post-Crisis as of the mid-/late-'80s was having her character be the granddaughter of an Atlantean wizard...!?
The visual artistic talent begins overall good-to-great, but it too seems to take a turn slightly for the worse - with a bit more of Erik Larsen injected, or something - in the second half of this issue. I agree with you, this is ultimately a letdown for Peter David's reputation as writer. Maybe he just didn't suit this character. I think he had just departed his run as longest-ever for any writer of The Incredible Hulk. Ah well, I know that this run of Aquaman was ultimately, eventually well-regarded. I appreciate you taking a look at both this vintage and this often mishandled DC Comics character, TSPH. Be well and have a great day!
