“KINGSLAYER” part one! After King Rath discovers that Arthur is still alive, he sends Aquaman’s former ally Murk to finish the job—or else be executed as a traitor! Meanwhile, Rath’s new power has a terrifying cost…one that will change Atlantis forever! Plus, the events of DARK METAL begin to take effect on the sunken city…
So, Rath has officially turned into a monster as Arthur. I'm not sure how they are going to solve the dead elders problem. On the bright side, Murk seems to have come back to his senses.
