Aquaman and the Others: Futures End #1

Part of DC's sweeping New 52: Futures End event, this 2014 one-shot drops into a tense future snapshot with the Others — a group of Atlantean-relic-powered heroes — caught in a desperate, churning moment of action. The cover by Yvel Guichet and Jason Gorder frames a weathered, white-bearded figure at the center clutching a glowing trident-like weapon, while his three armored and chain-wielding teammates surge outward around him in a burst of golden energy. Dan Jurgens and Sean Chen bring the story inside, making this a compelling standalone chapter for anyone drawn to Aquaman's world beyond Atlantis.
