Aquaman Rebirth #2
Aquaman Rebirth #2 (2018) features the story "Le déluge chapitre 1," written by Dan Abnett and Makma, with art by Philippe Briones, who also handled inking, and coloring by Gabe Eltaeb. The issue includes Aquaman and other characters in a narrative set within the Rebirth continuity, presented in a French-language edition with cover art by Joshua Middleton.
In "Le déluge chapitre 1," the fragile peace between the surface world and Atlantis shatters when a series of devastating attacks on East Coast cities are blamed on Atlanteans—though Aquaman races to prove the real culprits are N.E.M.O. forces masquerading as his people. With President Obama declaring war and the Aqua-Marines preparing a covert strike to assassinate him, Arthur faces a crisis of loyalty as the Justice League arrives in Atlantis to confront him.
In "Le déluge chapitre 2," Aquaman races to prove Atlantis is being framed by N.E.M.O. as attacks on the U.S. escalate, rallying the Justice League to demand a cease-fire at the White House. When a N.E.M.O. vessel disguised as a U.S. ship launches a brutal assault on Atlantis, Aquaman fights to stop it—only to fail in capturing any crew alive, leaving him without the proof needed to sway the U.S. government. Without evidence, the U.S. refuses to halt hostilities, and the Aqua-Marines are ordered to Atlantis with one mission: eliminate Aquaman.
In "Le déluge chapitre 3," Aquaman faces a deadly infiltration when the Aquamarines strike Atlantis with the intent to assassinate him. With Mera and Jurok Byss at his side, Arthur barely repels the attack, but not before High Lord Zeekil Neol and Elder Koah fall, and Seneschal Kae is left gravely wounded. As anger flares among the Atlanteans, demanding vengeance against the United States, Aquaman stands before his people, vowing one final effort to prevent war—though he’s prepared to step down if peace remains out of reach. His resolve is tested when he follows a N.E.M.O. signal to its hidden base, uncovering a shocking truth: Black Manta is behind the operation.
In "Le déluge conclusion," Aquaman confronts Black Manta at the N.E.M.O. base, leading to a desperate showdown that ends in the base’s self-destruction. With the truth about Black Manta’s betrayal in hand, Aquaman and Superman bring the evidence to the White House, where a joint press conference marks a turning point in the relationship between Atlantis and the United States.
In "Warhead," Aquaman, celebrated as the hero who ended the war between the United States and Atlantis, stands before the United Nations, paving the way for Atlantis’s potential recognition as a sovereign nation. But his moment of triumph is shattered when a mysterious new enemy, Warhead, emerges—using his telepathic abilities to manipulate minds and draw Aquaman into a deadly confrontation.
In "Super-pouvoir," Aquaman confronts the haunting legacy of Warhead, a cybernetic warrior whose telepathic mind was forged for war but rebelled against orders to kill innocents. Drawn to Aquaman’s own unshackled telepathic connection to the ocean, Warhead seeks refuge and purpose—believing that only by commanding Atlantis’ vast military might can he ensure his freedom from control once and for all.
In "H2.0," Arthur and Mera are pulled into a tense alliance with the Aquamarines—former enemies who once tried to kill Arthur—to investigate a U.S. Navy base gone silent. The mission takes them to the site of the original "Strange Water" outbreak, where the source of the mysterious Dead Water has resurfaced, threatening to unravel the fragile balance between surface and sea.
In "H2.0 chapitre 2," Arthur, Mera, and the Aquamarines dive into a high-stakes mystery at a Navy Research base, where scientists have vanished without a trace. As they confront a menacing new form of Dead Water, they uncover the chilling truth behind the enigmatic "Strange Water," known as "H2 Point 0," unraveling a threat that could reshape the ocean's balance.
In "H2.0 chapitre 3," Aquaman and Mera plunge into the mysterious H2.0 Strange Water, only to be swept into an alien underwater realm where they uncover the truth behind a terrifying transformation—people being turned into the deadly Dead Water. As Major Ricoh weighs drastic measures to contain the threat, Arthur and Mera race to understand the alien world’s secrets before it’s too late.
In "H2.0 conclusion," Aquaman races against time to stop a deadly signal turning his allies into mindless Dead Waters, all while a nuclear device set by Scavenger ticks toward detonation. With the fate of the team—and the city—hanging in the balance, he must find a way to cut the signal and prevent catastrophe.
In "La couronne d'Atlantis," Arthur and Mera return to the submerged kingdom only to face a sudden assault by Corum Rath and the Deluge, who seek to unseat Arthur from the throne. The king is stunned when he learns Rath has backing from the Atlantean Council of Elders, who question whether his allegiance truly lies with Atlantis or the surface world.
In "La couronnes d'épines," Arthur, once king of Atlantis, is stripped of his crown by the Council of Elders who believe he’s too tied to the surface world. When he refuses to step down, he’s branded a traitor and forced to flee, only to be betrayed by someone he never expected.
