A throne renounced. A kingdom revealed. A legend reborn from the depths.

In this high-octane relaunch, Aquaman finds himself caught between duty and destiny. Leaving the throne of Atlantis behind doesn’t mean the sea is done with him. When creatures from the ocean depths begin devouring towns, Arthur Curry is forced into battle with ancient evils—and ghosts from his own past.

The Trench are just the beginning. Black Manta lurks in the shadows. A forgotten team resurfaces. And the truth about Atlantis threatens to tear Arthur’s world apart. With breathtaking art and relentless storytelling, this is Aquaman like you’ve never seen him.
