Aquaman #17 Review |
It's funny how the epilogue to the Throne of Atlantis series is actually more interesting than the event was! This week we have Arthur dealing with his new life as the king Atlantis (once again). We open with him stopping an illegal whaling operation, which is simply the stage for exploring the difficult spot he's in. Just as he's discussed since the beginning of the series, he's not welcome on land or in Atlantis. The recent war with Atlantis has only made things worse for him. Even humans with similar goals to his own as far as stopping the whalers are concerned don't trust him after the war. Meanwhile his guards clearly don't respect him beyond his title. It's a terrible situation for a guy that has dealt with as much as Arthur has in the last couple of years. It's also what's making a bigger Aquaman fan month-by-month. Some day I trust he'll get what he deserves. It's exciting reading this series as it stands out from all everything else on DC's shelf by not being afraid to break some new ground for the character.
Highly recommend.
