Aquaman: Sword of Atlantis Once and Future

In 2006, DC Comics launched this one-issue special from writer Kurt Busiek and artist Butch Guice, bridging the end of the Aquaman: Sword of Atlantis series into a new direction. The story reconnects with Arthur Curry as he faces a transformed Atlantis, setting the stage for the “Once and Future” storyline that would follow in the main title. A compact, transitional chapter from a celebrated creative team, it matters as a pivotal moment in Aquaman’s modern mythology.
