A wave of revolution is rising in Atlantis! Aquaman was once the king of Atlantis... but then he lost his crown. It was taken by Corum Rath. Now Atlantis is cut off from the rest of the world by a powerful and ancient magical barrier known as the Crown of Thorns. No one can penetrate it from the outside, and inside there is no escape from the deadly henchmen of King Rath. Aquaman is part of the resistance movement that intends to fight against Rath. By his side stands the mysterious Dolphin and Arthur's former sworn enemy, Vulko. Only Aquaman can unite the warring factions so they can all work together to overthrow Rath... but only if he promises to take the throne again. However, Arthur has sworn that this will not happen. But when he learns that his one true love, Mera, has fallen victim to a strange magical illness that can only be cured beyond the borders of Atlantis, the Crown of Thorns becomes a death sentence. Now nothing will stop Arthur from leading the resistance. He is determined to dethrone Rath once and for all. The crown must fall... and the king with it! Writer DAN ABNETT (TITANS, THE SILENCER) continues the epic story of DC'S REBIRTH, this time with outstanding art by RICCARDO FEDERICI (BATMAN: THE MURDER MACHINE). It includes issues #31-33 and the special IN THE GRIP OF THE CROWN.
