That was what I took away from it too.Originally Posted by Frontier
I truly believe Arthur the Monarch can definitely work, writers just can't seem to avoid the cliche though. (As Robanker said: The biggest problem I have with the monarchy as portrayed in the comics is that, well, it's the usual remix of "long live the king! How dare this half-breed adopt progressive policy! Kill the king! SAVE US ARTHUR! Long live the king..." Rinse, repeat.)
I think Jurgens touched upon it during his short tenure and Morrison also leaned into it towards the end of his JLA run.
Arthur rules over 3/4 of the planet's surface. Atlantis has been shown to weild highly advance technology - while also combining serious magical chops.
He is NOT a bloke you want to piss off, supervillain or politician.

Really hope Thomas tackles some of the lesser known Aqua Rogues in Aquamen. Still waiting for someone to revamp the Fisherman.

Looks good but man am I tired of Manta. Way past time to focus on building up the other Aqua Rogues

Agreed. Originally Posted by Vordan

It's building off of Manta's mini too, so I'm not really surprised. Originally Posted by Vordan
