Aquaman: Sword of Atlantis Once and Future #[nn]

In "Once and Future," Arthur Curry reflects on his childhood—on the strange gift of breathing underwater and the moment he first learned to breathe air. When he encounters the Dweller in the Depths, a cryptic prophecy echoes a future that feels eerily already lived.

In "Deep Down," Arthur struggles under the weight of the Aquaman legend as he and King Shark follow a mysterious beacon to Windward Home—a floating city built by WWII hero Jimmy Lockhart. The journey forces Arthur to confront his identity while uncovering the secrets of a forgotten refuge above the waves.

In "Conversations with Vulko," Arthur seeks guidance from the spirit of his late mentor, Vulko, now a presence at Windward Home following Atlantis’s fall. As Arthur grapples with the news of his father’s death, he sets out with King Shark and the Sea Devils when a warning from the Dweller calls them to aid Mera and her people.

In "Masters," Arthur and his allies stand with Mera’s tribe against a ruthless gang of slavers loyal to the Ocean Master. When the conflict escalates, Arthur faces the Ocean Master in a brutal hand-to-hand clash that ends with a devastating strike.
