All the stories that Vulko has been telling to Arthur during all these years have been lies. Centuries before Arthur's birth there was a great king named Atlan who wanted to unite all the different kingdoms besides Atlantis but despite of his good intentions there were people who tried to stop him due to their racism, including his brother Orin, Arthur's ancestor.
This issue delivered everything that I was expecting once that I saw its cover, most importantly the Seven Seas. Aquaman's universe have become huge due to the creation of seven different cultures including Atlantis, The Trench, The Xebel and four other unknown races, it's a shame that Geoff Johns won't be staying to develope all these kingdoms since their premise is truly interesting.
About the plot, this was a pretty well told story set in the past and is being told from the perspective of the traitors most likely. The twists were greatly handled as well as the inclusion of Orin, Arthur's name post-COIE, who looks strangely similar to 90's Aquaman.
Paul Pelletier's pencils are outstanding, his scenes in the past are beautifully detailed and wonderful, I would dare to say that it looks even better than when Ivan Reis was in the book.
Excellent, simply excellent issue. Going to miss Johns in this one.
