☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume collects the first half of the 2006 'Aquaman: Sword of Atlantis' series, following the mysterious Arthur Joseph Curry as he takes up the mantle of Aquaman in a post-Infinite Crisis world. Alongside allies like Mera and the Dweller, he faces threats including the monstrous King Shark, while navigating a darker, more mystical underwater realm.
In "Once and Future," Aquaman grapples with loss and legacy as he consults the ghost of Vulko at Windward Home, a sanctuary rebuilt after Atlantis fell. When Arthur learns his father is gone, he sets out with King Shark and the Sea Devils after a dire warning from the Dweller—Mera and her people are in danger. Written by Kurt Busiek and illustrated by Butch Guice, with colors by Dan Brown and letters by Todd Klein, this issue blends haunting echoes of the past with urgent new threats, all framed by Carlos Pacheco’s striking cover and Jesús Merino’s inks.
In "Once and Future," Arthur Curry reflects on his childhood between worlds—learning to breathe both underwater and in the air—before confronting the Dweller in the Depths, who speaks of a future that feels eerily familiar, as if it’s already happened.
In "Conversations with Vulko," Arthur grapples with loss and legacy as he speaks with the spirit of Vulko, who lingers at Windward Home after Atlantis fell. Haunted by the news of his father’s death, Arthur must decide whether to stay or answer a dire call—when the Dweller warns that Mera and her people are in peril, he sets out with King Shark and the Sea Devils.
In "Masters," Arthur and his allies race to defend Mera’s tribe from a brutal assault by slavers loyal to the Ocean Master. As the battle escalates, Arthur faces his rival in a brutal confrontation that ends with a devastating strike—leaving the outcome hanging in the depths.
