Aquaman #24

In "Crown of Thorns," Aquaman faces a shocking betrayal when the Council of Elders strips him of his throne, naming Corum Rath as Atlantis's new king. Feeling abandoned and branded a traitor, Arthur must flee his homeland—only to discover that the one he trusted most has turned against him. Written by Dan Abnett and illustrated by Scot Eaton, Philippe Briones, and Wayne Faucher, with colors by Gabe Eltaeb and letters by Pat Brosseau, this pivotal issue marks a turning point in Arthur’s reign, all captured in a striking cover by Brad Walker and Andrew Hennessy.
