Marc Notes: The Earth's crust is grinding to life, releasing deadly volcanoes and bizarre creatures - so humanity's first instinct is to blame Atlantis. And as the plates pull apart, the pressures of ruling a kingdom under siege are weighing on Aquaman and Mera as well.

It's dramatic, engaging, and expertly rendered."--IGN "Has breathed new life into [Aquaman].... The series is off to an excellent start with plenty of mystery and action ahead.
