Aquaman #61

In "Echoes of a Life Lived Well Part 4," Aquaman #61 (2020) brings the wedding of Mera and Vulko to a dramatic climax as leaders from the Seven Kingdoms gather in Atlantis. Under the watchful eyes of Aquaman and Tula, disguised among the guests, Mera delivers a shocking announcement that leaves the assembled royalty stunned—just as Orm, from the City of Dagon, orders his forces to launch an attack on the underwater kingdom. Written by Kelly Sue DeConnick and illustrated with striking detail by Miguel Mendonça, with colors by Romulo Fajardo Jr. and letters by Clayton Cowles, the issue’s cover by Robson Rocha and Daniel Henriques captures the tension in bold, dynamic lines.
