King Arthur Fights To Take Back Atlantis In AQUAMAN #31 (Exclusive Preview)

Aquaman may be an iconic DC Comics hero, but often, he’s a hero who gets little love from people in the mainstream. Which is pretty dumb, because he’s nearly invulnerable, has super strength, telepathic abilities, and oh…he’s monarch of 75% of the planet Earth. I’d say that should earn Arthur Curry some respect.

Unfortunately, even in the world of the DCU right now, King Arthur of Atlantis has been tossed aside by his own people, with their coup resulting in his being ousted from the throne, and replaced by the usurper, King Rath.

But now, with the help of his loyal allies, Arthur plans on getting his rightful place on the throne back and beating back the forces of the man who stole his birthright. With an Aquaman movie coming in 2018 starring Jason Momoa, one said to be heavily influenced by recent run of the comics, there is no better time to jump on board the regular ongoing Aquaman title and see what all the fuss is about.
