Exclusive DC Preview: 'Aquaman' #36

DC has provided ComicBook.com with an exclusive preview of Aquaman #36 from writer Dan Abnett, artist Riccardo Federici, and colorist Sunny Cho.

The issue, titled "The Assassination of King Rath," marks the second part of "The Kingslayer," Abnett's latest arc on the title, which he has been writing since the Rebirth relaunch two years ago. The story sees Arthur attempting a coup against Atlantis's current king in the hopes of bringing an end to the Atlantean civil war.
