“Atlanteans for Sale”

In "Atlanteans for Sale," Aquaman faces his greatest betrayal yet when Mera, acting on impulses tied to her homeland, allies with a mysterious visitor from her water dimension to seize control of Atlantis and sell its people into slavery. Captured and forced to perform in a grotesque underwater spectacle, Aquaman must find a way to reclaim his throne and stop the exploitation of his people—all while navigating a crisis that threatens to tear his world apart. Nick Cardy’s dynamic art brings the underwater drama to life, with his signature style defining every splashy, suspenseful moment.
