Arthur Curry in a hurry

Aquaman Sword of Atlantis
Written by Kurt Busiek

Guice's artwork is great, coloring excellent. I'm just not sure another Arthur Curry is where I wanted this to go. He's a guy with a scientist father (clearly the most dangerous profession for all children to have parents in) who can breathe underwater.
