Aquaman #21
In "With the Fishes, Part 1," Aquaman faces a rare and troubling mystery in Sub Diego: a newborn who can't breathe underwater, challenging the city's very foundation. With tensions rising and a new criminal force emerging from the shadows, Aquaman must navigate political pressure and the fragile balance between land and sea. Written by Will Pfeifer and brought to life by Patrick Gleason’s dynamic art—inked by Christian Alamy and colored by Nathan Eyring—this issue sets a tense, grounded tone, with a cover by Gleason and Alamy that captures the underwater city’s uneasy pulse.
