In this brand new series by fan-favourite writer Dan Abnett (TITANS HUNT) and all-star penciller Brad Walker (SINESTRO), the King of Atlantis attempts to broker a peace between Atlantis and the surface, but this noble quest might force Aquaman to finally choose whether to live his life above the waves, or below them. Plus, Black Manta makes his bloody return and seeks to destroy everything and everyone Aquaman loves! Collects AQUAMAN #1-6.

Dan Abnett lives and works in Maidstone, Kent. After graduating from Oxford, he worked for a while as an editor of comics and children's books before turning to writing full time. In the dozen or so years since then, he has written for such a diverse range of characters-including Scooby-Doo, Thunderbirds, Conan the Barbarian, The X-Men, Johnny Bravo, Batman, Rupert the Bear, Doctor Who, Mr. Men, The Terminator and Postman Pat-that he is now clinically bewildered. He created the popular series SINISTER DEXTER, which he continues to write, along with other strips, for 2000 AD, and is currently writing AQUAMAN for DC Comics as part of DC Universe- Rebirth.

"I am all aboard for Aquaman." -Nerdist "It's irritating how good The Drowning is." -GQ "It elegantly establishes his powers, his tragic backstory, his relationship with Mera and the delicate balance he maintains in trying to maintain peace between his kingdom and the surface world." -IGN "A solid primer on Aquaman's new status quo." -Comic Book Resources
