With Aquaman making his big screen debut in next year’s Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice, DC is looking for the right story angle to make the character resonate with comics readers. For the post-Convergence revamp of Aquaman, a new creative team gives the King of Atlantis a new status quo, making him a fugitive from the underwater city he used to rule. Cullen Bunn has become a go-to writer for Marvel and DC in recent years, largely because of his skill for character-driven superhero stories that incorporate elements of other genres. This preview of next week’s Aquaman #41 includes splashes of horror and fantasy, and the narration immediately establishes Arthur’s mental state as he tries to be a hero despite having to deal with huge changes in his personal life.
