The King of the Seven Seas, Aquaman, returns to his very own ongoing series for the first time in years at the hands of DC Entertainment Chief Creative Office Geoff Johns, who reteams with Green Lantern collaborator, artist Ivan Reis.
Aquaman is back to challenge his status as a second-tier superhero. Maligned for years as the man who talks to fish, Arthur Curry stakes his claim as one of the most powerful heroes in the DC Universe in Aquaman Vol. 1: The Trench. As the King of the Seven Seas, Aquaman has sworn to protect his ocean home and there's been no greater threat to date than what's to come.
They are called the Trench. And they are hungry.
As thousands of carnivorous beasts emerge from the ocean's depths, can Aquaman protect his people from this deadly new threat? And also the surface world that he now calls home?
This is Aquaman's renaissance-a cutting-edge revival of the King of the Seven Seas featuring the creative team behind New York Times best-selling graphic novels Blackest Night and Justice League: Throne of Atlantis!

USA Today “Has breathed new life into [
Aquaman]…. The series is off to an excellent start with plenty of mystery and action ahead. Anyone that ever hesitated to read a story about ‘the guy who talks to fish,’ should have no second thoughts about picking up
Aquaman Volume 1: The Trench.” —Philadelphia Examiner "Every page drips with humor and all of it is aimed at Aquaman and his considerable character heritage, be it the orange shirt, the power to talk to fish or the second-string super-hero status." —
