Aquaman #4

The fourth chapter of Rick Veitch's 2003 Aquaman run arrives under the arc banner "Sea Change!" with a cover by Yvel Guichet and Mark Propst that crackles with underwater tension. Aquaman surges forward bare-chested, his glowing magical hand raised and fists clenched, while a red-suited figure brandishes a staff behind him — all against a backdrop of lurking sea creatures, a massive fish looming from below, a golden trident drifting nearby, and a squad of dark armored figures closing in from the depths. It's a dense, kinetic composition that makes clear the King of the Seven Seas has no shortage of threats pressing in from every direction.
