Aquaman is dead. Mera is crushed. Atlantis has a new King. Things don't look good. At all. There's a new vigilante in Atlantis who is pretending to be "the Aquaman" and is helping the citizens one by one. Is he pretending? Or is he the genuine article? Aquaman was left for dead in the last storyline, but he didn't die. He's keeping a very low cover, doing what he can on a very small scale. Eventually he's found out and he's forced to confront all the shit that's been going on under the terrible new King of Atlantis.
With this story, I feel like Dan Abnett has FINALLY hit his stride. He's been telling fine stories since taking over pre-Rebirth, but there's something about this that made it impossible for me to put down. It's like he's been trying this and that, figuring out what's been working and what hasn't and now that he knows, he's crafting the best Aquaman stuff since Geoff Johns left the book. I'm so excited to see where this book is going for this point out. I'm so excited to see Stjepan Sejic draw more Aquaman. This book is better looking that it has been in a while. Not to saw that the last few art teams weren't any good, but Sejic brings something else to the book I can't quite figure out.
