Emperor Aquaman #19 Preview

 

Arthur Curry loves his wife and daughter. Yet, his mother-in-law plots his doom. After their time apart, Mera wishes her husband could spend more time with her. Yet Arthur is always away. And when he spends a little time at home, he is secretive. Arthur won't even tell her why he's building his cosmic lighthouses. He claims he's thinking of her safety. Yet Mera recognizes that Arthur has changed.

After participating in the Omega Tournament, Arthur knows that's not the end of Darkseid's plans to conquer reality. But as he uses the Alpha energy Superman shared with him, a friend reminds him that relying on such power is dangerous. How will Mera's mother attack Atlantis next? And does Arthur Curry pose an even greater threat to his family and nation that the Crimson Queen Lolanna?
