Some thoughts about Aquaman #25

Is king versus king in the final battle for Atlantis.

Arthur has discovered which are the true responsibilities of the King of the Seven Seas and has realized that the Dead King is not apt to take the mantle of the ruler of their nation and it will take the power of a missing artifact to end this fight and start the new mission that Arthur has created.

This was an... adequate final issue frankly. The confrontation betwen Arthur and the Dead King was shorter and less spectacular than what I was expecting and there weren't a lot of mentions about the rest of the races from Atlantis and there are several questions that still remain unanswered like, whatever happened to The Scavenger?

Also, it seems like the 6 months that passed didn't really affect much. Sure, the Dead King conquered everything but almost every other character remained the same, there was no much change on that front, I was expecting a more fullfilling conclusion. Although is not really a conclusion since the next big Aquaman story is going to take place in Justice League and it seems like Johns is going to keep giving relevance to the franchise. I guess it works as a set-up.

Good aspect I can mention were the interaction Arthur and Mera, Arthur and Vulko and the ones that come from a character that appeared in Villains Month, that was a nice surprise.

Paul Pelletier's art is good but it seems kinda rushed this time, not as polished as usual. This could be due to having to draw extra pages for this story.

Anyway, appropiate ending then again it's not really the end.
