Aquaman Vol. 3: Crown of Atlantis (Rebirth) by Dan Abnett
4.0
I did not know if this would be as good as the previous 2 volumes but I am glad to say I enjoyed this. Arthur has achieved what he wanted but as he interacts with his friends in Amnesty Bay like Erika and addresses the world, he finds out that people fear him now. Tied up in this is Warhead who seems like a villain at first but then it turns out that he is seeking our Arthur for help as he has PTSD. I found that plot line interesting because he has a human brain but is a robot as well.
The next adventure Arthur goes on is discovering what Deadwater is. He teams up with the Aquamarines who tried to assassinate him in the previous volume which does not seem like a good idea. Mera and him disagree about how they could deal with the Tethys which is a sentient underwater planet. I felt that it was a very tense and chaotic situation which was getting worst by the minute and he made a choice that on reflection, could have been done better.
But while he is dealing with surface issues, dissent is rising in Atlantis as the Council feel that he is not a suitable king as he is hardly there and always seems to be advocating for the surface. So, he gets replaced by Corum Rath. That did not make sense to me and I am pretty sure the Council will see that they made a mistake.
I did not mention this in my last two reviews but I liked how there is diversity in the people from Atlantis like Murk who has scars, Carcharador, a female who leads the Fleet army and Seneschal Kae who stutters.
The art is good to alright. Then this volume ends on a cliffhanger where Arthur is gravely injured and Atlantis closes itself off. I would definitely want to read the next volume because of the story and art by Stjepan Sejic.
