Aquaman #6
This collection wraps up the New 52 era of Aquaman with the 'Maelstrom' storyline, pitting Arthur Curry against a devastating threat that ties directly into his Atlantean heritage and the secrets of his mother, Atlanna. Written by Dan Abnett, the volume also features a crossover with the 'Justice League vs. Suicide Squad' event, bringing in Barry Allen, Batman, and other heroes as Black Manta and Gorilla Grodd escalate the chaos. It's a high-stakes finale that reshapes Aquaman's world and sets the stage for his next chapter.
In "Graduation," Aquaman faces a pivotal moment as he and Mera race to protect Atlanna and her people, confronting a battle that ends in tragedy with Daniel’s death. The emotional weight of the conflict forces Atlanna to finally acknowledge Arthur as her son—though she still believes he must leave her realm. Written by Jeff Parker and illustrated by Paul Pelletier, with inks by Sandra Hope, Wayne Faucher, and Tony Kordos, and colors by Rain Beredo, this issue delivers a powerful chapter in Arthur’s journey, with a cover by Paul Pelletier and Sean Parsons.
In "Maelstrom, Part IV: The Final Gate," Aquaman and Mera push deeper into the unknown, navigating a mysterious dimensional rift that leads them to a long-lost realm where they finally encounter Atlanna—the enigmatic former Queen of Atlantis and Arthur’s mother. As they face the echoes of a forgotten past, the bond between father and son, and the secrets buried beneath the sea, the journey tests everything they’ve fought for.
In "Maelstrom VI: The End of the World," Aquaman and Mera race to protect Atlanna and her people from an encroaching disaster, facing heartbreak when Daniel falls in battle. As the crisis deepens, Atlanna confronts the truth of Arthur’s lineage—but still insists he must leave her realm.
