Aquaman Rebirth #5

In "Régicide chapitre 1," Corum Rath reflects on his roots in the Ninth Tride, haunted by a long-held ambition to rule Atlantis. Fueled by fury over the Crown of Thorns' fall and the kingdom's exposed weakness, he pushes to unleash the forbidden magic buried beneath the Silent School. When Magister Loke denies him access, Rath orchestrates Loke’s downfall—having Kadaver defeat him and seize control—then commands Kadaver to open the vault and awaken the Abyssal Dark.

In "Régicide chapitre 2," Jurok Byss and King Shark push the Undercurrent toward victory, but their momentum stalls when the transformed Kadaver unleashes a wave of magic, turning Drift soldiers into otherworldly beasts. Aquaman arrives to fight the creatures, buying the rebels time to flee, only to face Murk, sent to eliminate him. Meanwhile, Leot and Urcell rally the Atlantean elders to depose Rath—just as he taps into the Abyssal Dark, claiming power beyond mortal reach.

In "Régicide chapitre 3," Aquaman and Murk push deep into the throne room with a shared goal: bring down Corum Rath. But their alliance is strained—Aquaman seeks justice through capture, while Murk demands vengeance through assassination. As they close in, they’re blindsided by Rath’s monstrous transformation, his newfound magical power overwhelming all they thought they knew. Meanwhile, the scattered rebels scramble to find a way to match that power before it’s too late.

In "Régicide chapitre 4," Aquaman and Murk launch a desperate strike—far from the battle they expected—when Murk is gravely wounded and taken to the Widowhood for aid. As Vulko tries to rally the elder ghosts of Atlantis to aid the rebels, they’re cut short by an ambush: Kadaver and a horde of transformed Atlanteans descend upon the sanctuary. With Rath’s forces closing in, Aquaman must stand at the heart of a war that’s no longer just about survival—but about what kind of king Atlantis will become.

In "Régicide conclusion," Aquaman faces his greatest threat yet as Corum Rath, twisted by the Abyssal Dark, unleashes a devastating assault on Atlantis. With Dolphin at his side, he fights to protect his kingdom, but all seems lost—until Mera arrives with a Xebellian army, shifting the tide of battle. As the fate of Atlantis hangs in the balance, a mysterious voice from the Abyssal Dark whispers a promise to Aquaman, one that may change everything.

In "Coulons l'Atlantide ! chapitre 1," Atlantis has emerged from the depths, drawing wary attention from U.S. officials who see it as a threat. While Aquaman remains unaware, trying to stay hidden during Mera’s coronation, Admiral Meddinghouse overrides diplomatic orders and sends Deadshot, Lord Satanis, and Master Jailer on a mission to sink the city once more. As the Squad infiltrates the surface city, they quickly realize something is deeply wrong beneath the glittering facade.

In "Coulons l'Atlantide ! chapitre 2," with Atlantis now above the waves, Queen Mera begins her reign as the ocean’s new sovereign, while Arthur faces a growing threat from the United States military. When the Suicide Squad arrives under the guise of a magical mission, Aquaman uncovers their true intent: a deadly nuke meant to obliterate the sunken kingdom. As he fights to stop them, capturing Deadshot and Harley, one key enemy slips through—Lord Satanis, who’s determined to see the bomb detonate.

In "Coulons l'Atlantide ! chapitre 3," Aquaman races to thwart a dire threat as Harley and Deadshot, held captive by Murk’s forces, expose a deadly plot: Lord Satanis, Master Jailer, and Croc are en route to obliterate Atlantis with a nuclear device. With King Shark by his side, Aquaman confronts the growing danger, while Urcell guides Satanis to the Silent School, where he seeks to harness ancient Atlantean magic. As the villain raises a powerful shield to repel the heroes, a hidden ally—Dolphin—moves unseen within the stronghold. Meanwhile, Mera confronts the U.S. ambassador, probing the nation’s involvement in the assault on Atlantis.

In "Coulons l'Atlantide ! conclusion," Dolphin races to stop Satanis as he activates a deadly nuke, while Master Jailer lowers the magical shield to let Aquaman, Deadshot, Harley, King Shark, and Killer Croc join the fight. With Satanis defeated, the team faces an impossible choice as the countdown to detonation continues.
