Aquaman #38

In "Kingdom Lost," Aquaman returns to Atlantis only to find it reduced to ruins by the Spectre, with countless former subjects slain. Struggling to lead the survivors to safety, he guides them to Sub Diego, where their journey toward a new life begins amid the challenges of integration. Written by John Arcudi and brought to life by Leonard Kirk’s dynamic art, with inks by Andy Clarke and colors by Nathan Eyring, this pivotal issue marks a turning point in Aquaman’s reign. The cover, by Don Kramer and Keith Champagne, captures the weight of loss and the fragile hope ahead.
