Curry's an innocent, and as such not only is the ocean as alien to him as it is to the reader, but he completely unfamiliar with the world above the ocean a scene where Curry first enjoys a cheeseburger is priceless. One of the best things about Sword of Atlantis is just how likable Arthur Curry is. Curry and Shark have a series of adventures, meeting the Sea Devils, before they're called on to save Mera's people from slavers lead by the Ocean Master. Recruited by the mysterious Dweller of the Deep to fulfill an ancient prophecy, Curry first saves King Shark, and travels with him to visit the refugees of Atlantis, including Queen Mera. Sword of Atlantis follows Arthur Joseph Curry, born with the ability to breathe underwater and raised in isolation until Infinite Crisis dumps him in the ocean. Sword of Atlantis is a strange recreation of the Aquaman mythos that, as conceived, seems almost doomed to fail, but the actual story itself is a fantasic graphic novel. Forget what you may have heard about this being a hardcore swords and sorcery book-yes, there's magic here, but there's also superhero action, humor, engaging characters, and some hints of what might make a true Aquaman series great. I love this Aquaman comic book! Yes, these are words I never thought I'd find myself saying either, and yet having just finished Kurt Busiek's Aquaman: Sword of Atlantis - Once and Future, they're truer than true.
