A devastating war between the United States and Atlantis has been
averted, all thanks to Justice Leaguer Aquaman... but that doesn't stop
unrest coming from the King's subjects under the waves.
But on the surface, the King of Atlantis has found the respect and
recognition that always eluded him... along with a new group of hardcore
"Aquafans" he never expected. With a higher profile however, comes a
target on Aquaman's back.
There's Warhead, a cyborg with the ability to mentally control humans
and use them as weapons. Then there's Dead Water, a monstrous villain
Aquaman thought he'd defeated, and whose mysterious origins he still
doesn't fully understand. To beat them, the King of the Seven Seas will
be forced to make alliances with the same Aquamarines who tried to
assassinate him--alliances that may prove just as deadly as any enemy.
With these ceaseless threats from above and below, political unrest is
rising among the citizens of Atlantis. Even if Aquaman succeeds in
keeping his kingdom safe, will he be able to hold on to his throne?
Writer Dan Abnett (Titans, Earth 2: Society) and artists Scot Eaton
(Batman & Robin Eternal), Philippe Briones (New Suicide Squad) and
Brad Walker (Action Comics) test Aquaman on all sides as DC's Rebirth
continues in Aquaman Vol. 3: Crown Of Atlantis! Collects #16-24.
