The story sees the Justice League and Aquaman unite against an ancient oceanic threat that transforms the Earth into a waterlogged battleground, with the Ocean Lords and the mysterious forces of the Trench rising to challenge both land and sea heroes. Written by Scott Snyder and Dan Abnett, with art by Howard Porter and others, it's a high-stakes epic that tests the bonds between the League and Atlantis.
In the prelude to a global crisis, "Drowned Earth Prelude" sets the stage for an oceanic apocalypse as the Ocean Lords and Black Manta unleash the Death Kraken. With Superman, Flash, and Mera battling alien-corrupted metas, Aquaman and Wonder Woman arrive to confront a choice: wield the Tear of Extinction to destroy the sea gods or seek peace before all life on Earth is drowned. Written by Scott Snyder and illustrated by Francis Manapul, Howard Porter, and Scott Godlewski, with colors by Manapul and Hi-Fi and letters by Tom Napolitano, this 2019 DC issue features a cover by Francis Manapul.
In "Drowned Earth Prelude," Aquaman, Wonder Woman, and Firestorm venture into the frozen Arctic in search of the missing Poseidon, uncovering the Graveyard of the Gods—a haunting realm where ancient alien sea gods stir, their hunger for the world’s oceans growing stronger with every passing tide.
In "Here Comes the Flood," as Atlantis struggles to adapt to its sudden rise above the sea, a mysterious purple tide begins to flood the city, turning those it touches into monstrous forms. With Aquaman gone and the threat spreading beyond the undersea realm, Mera must use her aquakinetic abilities to hold back the encroaching waters—just as Batman warns her the danger could soon reach the entire planet.
In a world drowning under rising seas and alien conquest, Batman rallies the Titans to evacuate civilians—only for Tempest to rally them instead, urging a stand against the invaders. As the tide of war rises, the line between retreat and resistance blurs in this urgent, high-stakes chapter of *Justice League / Aquaman: Drowned Earth*.
In "Drowned Earth Part One," the world’s oceans rise as the Ocean Lords unleash alien waters that turn anyone who touches them into monstrous beings. With Batman trapped beneath the flooded Hall of Justice and Superman, the Flash, and other heroes fighting to save lives, Mera turns to Orm for help as Aquaman remains missing—his fate tied to a shocking alliance between Black Manta and the Ocean Lords, who now threaten Mera herself.
In "Drowned Earth Part Two," Batman is still trapped in the Hall of Justice as Superman, the Flash, and Mera race to locate Arion's tomb, only to be ambushed by Black Manta. Meanwhile, Wonder Woman frees Aquaman, and together they journey to the Graveyard of Gods, hoping Poseidon can restore his strength—before the rising tide claims all.
In "Drowned Earth Part Three," Black Manta wields Aquaman’s powers as he holds Superman, Flash, and Mera captive at the Tomb of Arion, while the Legion of Doom assault the Hall of Justice—Batman, wounded and alone, stands in their way. Meanwhile, at the Graveyard of the Gods, Poseidon recounts Arion’s past triumph over the Ocean Lords to Aquaman and Wonder Woman, warning that this battle may be beyond even their strength.
In "Dead Sea," Aquaman and Wonder Woman journey to the Graveyard of the Gods seeking answers, only to face a brutal trial at the hands of Poseidon himself. As Arthur is impaled by the god’s trident, he’s thrust into a haunting vision where he confronts his past—his father, his enemies, and the weight of his legacy.
In the climactic "Drowned Earth Finale," Aquaman and Wonder Woman join forces with Superman, Flash, and Mera to stop the Death Kraken from erasing all life on Earth. As alien sea waters twist heroes into monsters, Aquaman faces a desperate choice: heed Poseidon’s warning that Mera’s Tear of Extinction can empower his trident to destroy the Ocean Lords—or risk everything by seeking peace with the very gods they’ve been taught to fear.
