The Bazooka Bubble Gum x DC crossover has been delightful, and now the King of Atlantis is joining the party. A number of DC’s biggest icons have joined the Bazookaverse, including Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, and Batman, and now it’s Aquaman’s time to step into the spotlight. When Arthur isn’t defending his underwater kingdom or the world above, he’s more than happy to spend some time in the Bazookaverse, even taking some time to provide some water to Bazooka Joe, Pesty, and Mort. You can check out the full comic below, and you can find the entire run of Bazooka Bubble Gum x DC comics on the official hub.

The King of Atlantis

In the new comic, Joe, Petty, Mort, and Aquaman are hanging out on the basketball court. Mort is taking a few practice shots while Pesty and Joe take a break and drink some water, courtesy of the King of Atlantis himself Arthur Curry. Mort can’t seem to make a shot though and could use some extra height, which he mentions as the rest of the crew hangs out by the court. Bazooka Joe then has a great idea, saying, “Maybe you should try spring water!” You can check out the full comic below.
