Aquaman : Sword of Atlantis #44 - DC


Young Authur Curry, as oposed to the "old" Authur Curry, is having a heck of a time adapting to his proposed role in life. The "Dweller in the Depths" recently found him, and started telling him about his destiny. So with him, and his new travelling companion, King Shark, he has been exploring the depths, and trying to figure out where he fits in the grand scheme of things. He has also hooked up with the Sea Devils, because they are investigating a slave operation that involves the people of Atlantis. A race called the Aurati are working the citizens of Atlantis as slaves to ore a mineral that is not even usefull to an underwater race. So this band has determined that it is probably the work of some surface organization. They don't make much progress figuring out who, until the run upon the Ocean Master, who clearly is in charge of this whole operation. He is just as suprised to meet the young Aurthur, as Aurthur is to meet the Ocean Master, whom he claims to have no knowledge or recollection of. Mera is also set aback a bit by the new Aurthur. I think though, that somehow this "Dweller of the Depths", is actually our Aquaman. We don't know that for sure, but that is my educated guess. But we still don't know where this younger Aurthur Curry came from, or how he also seems to be Aquaman. But with Kurt Busiek and Butch Guice at the helm, it's going to be a interesting and thrilling ride, as we find out.
