Aquaman Rebirth #1

In "Inondation, chapitre 1," Aquaman and Mera face a sudden threat as they host global leaders at the Atlantean Embassy on land—Black Manta’s attack shatters the fragile peace, plunging the summit into chaos.

In the wake of Black Manta’s assault, the U.S. government revokes the Atlantean embassy status at Station Embruns and expels the Atlanteans. Aquaman and Mera travel to Washington to plead their case before the president, hoping to prevent further escalation—unaware that Black Manta has just been recruited by the enigmatic N.E.M.O., setting the stage for something far more dangerous.

In "Inondation, chapitre 4," Aquaman is held under federal custody after a U.S. naval vessel is sunk, with Atlantis blamed for the attack. As Mera works to secure his release, Murk leads a team to the sunken ship and uncovers evidence implicating the Atlanteans—only to be discovered by an American recovery crew, sparking a tense standoff. Meanwhile, Black Jack presses Black Manta to join N.E.M.O., a shadowy organization aiming to seize control of the world’s oceans.

In "Inondation, chapitre 5," Aquaman and Mera flee a federal detention center, evading U.S. forces ordered to use lethal force. As Tula readies an Atlantean fleet for retaliation, Black Jack delivers Black Manta to N.E.M.O.'s Antarctic base, where he meets the enigmatic Kingfisher.

In "Inondation, conclusion," Aquaman stands at the center of a rising tide of conflict as Superman intervenes in the clash between the Atlantean king and the U.S. military. With Tula leading the Atlantean forces toward Washington and Black Manta seizing power from the Fisherman King, the fate of the underwater realm and the surface world hangs in the balance.

In "Le poids de la couronne," Aquaman returns to Atlantis to navigate its shifting politics while investigating the sinking of the USS Pontchartrain—its wreckage pointing to Atlantean involvement. As tensions rise, Black Manta seizes control of N.E.M.O., revealing the underwater base was secretly behind the attack, and unleashes a new threat upon the kingdom.

In "Invincible," as Mera strives to prove herself worthy of Arthur by mastering the ancient ways of Mother Cetea and the Order of the Widows, a relentless monster unleashed by Black Manta and N.E.M.O. tears through Atlantis. With Aquaman, the Drift, and Atlantean forces scrambling to contain the threat, the true danger emerges: the Hirsute, a long-forgotten foe of the Justice League whose ability to adapt to any attack makes him nearly unstoppable.

In "Une ligue à lui seul," Aquaman faces a relentless, unstoppable force known as the Hirsute, whose path of destruction leads straight to Amnesty Bay. With Atlantis unable to stop it and the Justice League out of reach after his recent clash with Superman, Aquaman must stand alone against a threat that defies all odds.

In "La marée du futur," Mera faces a dire prophecy that names her as the mortal queen who will unleash the flood that ends Atlantis and the surface world, forcing the Order of the Widows to oppose her marriage to Arthur. When she receives a cryptic message from Lieutenant Joanna Stubbs revealing N.E.M.O.'s role in inciting conflict between Atlantis and the United States, their fragile alliance is shattered by the sudden arrival of Broadside, a deadly N.E.M.O. agent sent to eliminate them both.

In "Etat critique," Mera and Jo arrive at the hospital in Amnesty Bay to find Arthur, injured but hailed as a hero after his clash with the Hirsute. As public opinion shifts and the threat from N.E.M.O. grows, Arthur learns of their schemes to turn Joanna against Atlantis—just as Black Manta launches attacks on American cities, escalating tensions toward a potential war.
