Like a lot of people aquaman never seemed like an exciting hero. I made all the same jokes about him that the comics actually joke about... "Super power of talking to fish... Right".

Now he's become one of my favorite reads. While the left right political undertones are sometimes nauseating... They fit the character's world and growth so well that I have actually grown in my own views because of the great way they are presented.

Aquaman is the King no one wants but who's intentions are for what's best for his people and this book shows that regardless of what they believe of him, and even after dethroning and "murdering" him, he will stay and fight for his people even while they curse him.

A true King like a Father can love his child or subjects even when they hate you for doing what you believe is best for them and their future, this issue illustrates that greatly. Arthur doesn't need a throne to be a king, or an army to defend his people.
