Aquaman #36
In "The Failure of Success," Aquaman faces a new kind of challenge as he and Koryak clash over how best to support Mera during her fragile transition to life on the surface, while shared moments with Esther offer quiet insight into Arthur’s past. The growing power of Atlantean sorcery draws an ominous, otherworldly presence—unseen but unmistakable—toward the surface world. Written by John Arcudi and brought to life by Leonard Kirk, Andy Clarke, Nathan Eyring, and Travis Lanham, with a striking cover by Patrick Gleason and Christian Alamy, this 2006 issue marks a pivotal moment in Aquaman’s journey.
