Aquaman #25

In "Underworld," Aquaman #25 (2017) plunges into the fractured heart of Atlantis, where King Corum Rath rules with isolationist fervor and the Ninth Tride burns with unrest. As Rath's purge of non-Atlanteans escalates and crime gangs terrorize the underbelly of the city, a shadowy figure begins striking back—protecting the vulnerable in a world gone dark. With Vulko scheming in the shadows and Mera mourning Arthur’s presumed death, the tide of rebellion begins to stir beneath the waves. Written by Dan Abnett and illustrated in full by Stjepan Šejić, this issue’s haunting cover by Šejić captures the weight of a kingdom on the brink.
