“Falls the Shadow”

In "Falls the Shadow," Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning deliver a pulse-pounding chapter as Aquaman, AJ, and Mera race to stop the Maritorn from consuming Oceanid. With the fate of two worlds hanging in the balance, AJ makes a desperate choice that forces Aquaman to follow his mother through a collapsing dimensional gate—leaving the outcome uncertain. Jim Calafiore’s dynamic art, with inks by Mark McKenna, brings the underwater chaos to life, while Tom McCraw’s colors deepen the tension beneath the waves.
