Aquaman #38

In "Maelstrom IV: The Final Gate," Aquaman and Mera push deeper into the mysterious dimensional rift, guided by the echoes of Arthur’s past. Their journey leads them to a hidden realm where they finally encounter Atlanna, the long-lost Queen of Atlantis—her presence a revelation that reshapes everything Arthur thought he knew. Written by Jeff Parker and brought to life by Paul Pelletier’s dynamic art, with Sandra Hope’s inks and Rain Beredo’s vivid colors, this issue deepens the mythos with quiet power and emotional weight. The cover by Paul Pelletier and Sandra Hope captures the moment with haunting precision.
