Aquaman #24

As the ‘Death of a King’ arc reaches its penultimate chapter, this issue effectively serves as a deep breath before plunging headlong into what should be an epic finale.  The story alternates between flashbacks and the present day, providing us with the chilling origin of the dead king and casting some major doubts over Arthur’s assumed right to sit on the throne of Atlantis.
