Aquaman #25

A battered, blood-streaked Aquaman fills this striking cover by Joshua Middleton, his expression fierce and defiant as he raises a clenched fist — the intensity of the image suggesting someone who has been pushed to the absolute limit and refuses to yield. This 2019 Spanish-language edition from ECC Ediciones also spotlights Mera: Reina de Atlantis as a bonus feature, rounding out what looks to be a compelling package for fans of Atlantean adventures. Dan Abnett's writing paired with Lan Medina's interior art promises the kind of character-driven drama that makes this corner of the DC universe so compelling.
