He was a king without a kingdom. Now Aquaman and his queen, Mera, have retaken Atlantis from their enemies. But to secure the future of their people, an even bigger challenge awaits them: they must win back the trust—and the hearts—of the humans whose dry lands have been inundated by threats from the sea time and time again.
Â
Even as they settle back into Aquaman’s childhood home of Amnesty Bay, death still lurks in the ocean depths. A creature called Dead Water is threatening to drown humanity in blood—and it can strike anywhere a single drop of water can be found.
Â
Aquaman must save his kingdom, heal his image and defeat this lethal new foe, but he can’t do it alone. He’ll need help from the most unexpected ally of all…
Â
Aquawoman?
