Aquaman #9

In "Aufstieg zur Oberfläche," Arthur, Mera, Tula, Garth, and Murk attend the Amnesty Bay Sea Festival, seeking to understand the surface world and its people. As Arthur shares his vision of Atlantis embracing a more open role in global affairs, a mysterious creature that emerges from water begins terrorizing the coastal town—its origins unknown, its presence a growing threat.

In "Dead Water," as Arthur and Mera prepare to open Spindrift Station—the first Atlantean Embassy on dry land in Amnesty Bay—Aquaman is drawn into a chilling mystery when the FBI asks for his help investigating a string of killings linked to an elusive aquatic creature capable of vanishing between water sources.

In "Jäger und Gejagte," Aquaman confronts Jonah Payne, a man with no memory of his time as the villainous Dead Water, unraveling a dangerous link to the enigmatic Scavenger. As Arthur traces the trail, he becomes both hunter and hunted in a high-stakes chase through the undersea world.

In "Aus der Dunkelheit," Aquaman confronts Scavenger in a desperate bid to uncover the truth behind Jonah Payne’s transformation into Dead Water. As the investigation unfolds, Dead Water breaks free from Spindrift Station, driven by rage and a thirst for vengeance, and arrives on the scene with one purpose: to settle the score.
