Fish Boy Vol. 40

"Fish Boy" is a common numbered name for an online comics collection or aggregator site; its reading material is assembled from Chinese fan translations of Marvel and DC comics. This volume is the 40th in the series and collects Chinese-translated content related to DC's Aquaman: Sword of Atlantis, corresponding to the title clues "DC Miscellany 2" and "Aquaman: Sword of Atlantis." The Sword of Atlantis serial originally began with DC's Aquaman #40 in May 2006; from that issue onward the main title was renamed Aquaman: Sword of Atlantis. The story follows the "One Year Later" timeline after Infinite Crisis: Atlantis has been overturned in a catastrophe, its people displaced, and the first Aquaman, Arthur Curry, is missing. In the deep sea, a young man named Arthur Joseph Curry—raised in a tank in a ruined laboratory and given gills and the ability to breathe underwater through experimental surgery—loses his father and his home in a storm, is guided by a mysterious voice calling itself a "Dweller in the Depths," rescues the enslaved King Shark, and obtains a suit of orange scale armor and an Atlantean sword. He is forced to bear the name "Aquaman" and to search among sunken city-states, raiders, and old enemies for his father and his own origins. This is volume 40 of the Fish Boy series; the exact contents are subject to the actual printed edition.
