About the series
In the wake of DC's New 52 relaunch, Geoff Johns, Ivan Reis, and Paul Pelletier redefined Aquaman for a new era, grounding the King of Atlantis in a world that had long dismissed him as a joke. This 2012–2017 series, later helmed by Cullen Bunn and Dan Abnett, explores Arthur Curry's struggle to balance his human heritage with his duty to the undersea kingdom, while team-ups with Batman and Superman underscore his place among DC's heaviest hitters. With Vicente Cifuentes adding grit to Pelletier's dynamic pencils, the run revitalized the character's mythos, proving the monarch of the seas was never a punchline—just a hero waiting for his moment.
