About this ebook

Aquaman and the Justice League may have stopped the war between the surface world and Atlantis, but the fight is not yet behind them. The people of Atlantis are reluctant to welcome back a king who fought against his own people, while the surface-dwellers see Atlanteans as little more than terrorists. But before Arthur can regain the support of his people, another Atlantean royal returns: The Dead King. The First King. The king who sunk Atlantis! In AQUAMAN VOL. 4: DEATH OF A KING, the superstar creative team of Geoff Johns (JUSTICE LEAGUE) and Paul Pelletier (THE OUTSIDERS) give Aquaman the fight of his life! Collects AQUAMAN #17-19, #21-25.

Ratings and reviews

The writing is great and the illustrations are beautiful. I love the look of the aquatic life and the story of Atlantis. Aquaman's story, world, and abilities are so interesting when you're reading this. These new 52 arcs are superb in every way.

A fitting end to Geoff John's run on the character. It will go down in history as the best Aquaman run ever written.

Excellent. Really like how they've portrayed Orm so far.
