Emperor Aquaman #15

Emperor Aquaman #15 arrives with a bold promise right on the cover — "The Empire Starts Here!" — as Arthur Curry stands commanding and resolute atop the prow of what appears to be a massive, eye-bearing sea creature, lightning crackling around him and a trident cast aside at his feet. Behind him, a fierce red-haired warrior and a looming shark flank his ascent, framing the king's determined rise with both power and oceanic menace. Jeremy Adams and John Timms, whose dynamic linework and Rex Lokus's vivid colors make every inch of this cover crackle with energy, look set to take Aquaman's story somewhere genuinely thrilling in 2026.
