About this Collection

This collection brings together the climactic storyline from Geoff Johns' acclaimed run on Aquaman, where Arthur Curry faces a brutal challenge to his throne from his half-brother, the Ocean Master. The volume includes issues #0, #14-17, and material from Justice League #20-21, as the King of Atlantis must defend his crown and his kingdom against a devastating coup.

In "Throne of Atlantis Prologue," Aquaman faces the truth behind a devastating betrayal as he uncovers Vulko’s role in provoking the war with the surface world. With the fate of Atlantis hanging in the balance, Arthur must confront both his brother Orm and the treachery within his own court. Written by Geoff Johns and illustrated by Ivan Reis with dynamic inks by Joe Prado, Paul Pelletier, and Sean Parsons, this pivotal issue builds toward a throne reclaimed—though not without deeper shadows ahead. The cover by Lucio Parrillo captures the epic scale of the conflict in striking detail.
