Aquaman #32

In "The Shade of Things to Come," Aquaman #32 (2005) sees Black Manta teaming up with the corporation that now controls Aquaman’s DNA, setting a dangerous course for Sub Diego. As Lorena and Koryak share a journey to Atlantis, their bond deepens, while Aquaman finds unexpected connection with Esther—just as tensions rise beneath the sea. Written by John Arcudi and illustrated by Patrick Gleason, with inks by Christian Alamy, colors by Nathan Eyring, and letters by Phil Balsman, the issue’s cover by Gleason and Alamy captures the underwater intrigue in vivid detail.
