At the DC World's Finest panel at New York Comic Con, Kelly Sue DeConnick has been talking about her upcoming Aquaman #43. And showing off the artwork by Robson Rocha and Daniel Henriques inside…

Let's take a look and hear what Kelly has to say, courtesy of Madeline Ricchuitto at the panel, messaging us as it happens…

"This story is Zeppelin, it is big, it is stenciled on the side of a van"

"While we're not doing quite the Mamoa version of Arthur there is this still of him I might have on my desktop (for purely professional reasons) and he's got his hair in his face and he's soaking wet and he looks like Metallica's best roadie. And he looks up and he has this twinkle in his eye, its this hero energy and that's what brings us back to these kinds of stories… I wanted the Arthur we know with that swagger."

Sorry folks, no tattoos… Aquaman #43 will be out in time for Christmas. Just around the time of a certain movie that you may have heard something about.

The tides turn for the Sea King with a new creative team! Star scribe Kelly Sue DeConnick (Captain Marvel, Pretty Deadly) and red-hot artist Robson Rocha (TEEN TITANS, SUPERGIRL) take the rudder to steer Aquaman into uncharted waters. In the wake of "Drowned Earth," an amnesiac Arthur washes ashore on a remote island, and ends up being cared for by a young woman named Callie, who's just a little TOO curious for comfort. And as a lifetime of horror movies has taught us, there's something strange going on in this island village. Aquaman needs to come to his senses quickly…or he might wind up sleeping with the fishes instead of chatting with them. In Shops: Dec 19, 2018
