ΓI am all aboard for Aquaman.Γ ΓNerdist ΓA solid primer on AquamanΓs new status quo.Γ ΓCBR Rath, the mad king of Atlantis, is under siege from all sides. Seeking new ways to maintain his grip on the throne, Rath persuades his closest friend from childhood to provide him with access to the darkest magic Atlantis has ever known! But the result is a threat that may be beyond RathΓsΓor even AquamanΓsΓpower to control! RathΓs ally, Kadaver, is given the power of the Atlantean vaults of magic and becomes a mindless servant of the king. RathΓs dominance seems a foregone conclusionΓthat is, until Aquaman and some unlikely allies storm the gates. ItΓs a battle royal for the future of the undersea kingdom, but as Rath pays an unexpected price for ultimate authority, he becomes a force so monstrous that no one will be unscathed by the final showdown. Writer Dan Abnett (Titans, The Silencer) is joined by artists Riccardo Federici (Dark Nights: Metal: Dark Knights Rising), Sunny Gho (Captain America, Avengers) and more in Aquaman Vol. 6: Kingslayer, collecting stories from Aquaman #34-38.
