Aquaman by Geoff Johns Book Two

The fate of Atlantis hangs in the balance as Geoff Johns’s acclaimed Aquaman saga reaches its conclusion.

Arthur Curry has spent his life caught between two worlds.

As tensions rise between Atlantis and the surface, Aquaman must navigate political conflict, personal loyalties, and growing threats from some of his greatest enemies. With Atlantis on the brink of war, every decision carries consequences for both kingdoms.

As Black Manta and Ocean Master continue to shape events from the shadows, Arthur faces challenges that test his ability to lead, protect, and unite worlds that increasingly seem destined for conflict.

This volume collects the concluding chapters of Geoff Johns’s celebrated Aquaman run, including the landmark Throne of Atlantis crossover with Justice League and pivotal stories exploring the origins and motivations of Aquaman’s greatest foes.

Combining action, mythology, and political intrigue, these stories helped redefine Aquaman for a new generation of readers.
