“Aquaman,” under the pen of Kelly Sue Deconnick, has been building Arthur’s world in up ways that are complementary, though totally different, than what Dan Abnett did with his run on the title. In this week’s issue, the world of Amnesty Bay is joining together with the world of the Old Gods, adding in Jackson Hyde (Aqualad), incorporating some of Abnett’s Atlantean work, and bringing Black Manta’s looming thread to the forefront. Got all that? Good, because we’ve got an exclusive first look at issue #53, featuring pencils by Robson Rocha and Eduardo Pansica, courtesy of DC Comics.
