Teen Titans #2

In a story that blends the pulse of a superhero origin with the quiet intensity of a personal journey, Jackson Hyde—Aqualad—grapples with his emerging powers in New Mexico while a mysterious disappearance at Titans HQ sets off quiet ripples. As Beast Boy hosts a reporter at the team’s base, the sudden vanishing act hints at something deeper, even as Jackson makes his way toward San Francisco, drawn by the promise of belonging.

In "The Rise of Aqualad, Part 2," the Teen Titans face a brutal assault from King Shark, who leads them to suspect he's behind the mysterious disappearance of reporter Bonnie Chung. As tensions rise, Aqualad [Jackson Hyde] arrives, determined to prove himself, but Robin [Damian Wayne] remains skeptical—until Hyde’s actions during a high-stakes mission to Alcatraz Island force a reluctant change of heart. With King Shark now joined by Black Jack and Black Manta, the team must confront a threat that tests not just their strength, but their trust in one another.
