Introducing AQUAMEN—The Protectors of the Seven Seas!

New Ongoing DC Comic Book Series Launches in February 2022!
Dive deeper following the thrilling conclusions of Aquaman: The Becoming and Black Manta!
Aquamen, a new ongoing comic book series by the creative team of Chuck Brown, Brandon Thomas, Sami Basri and Adriano Lucas, will launch out of the conclusions of Aquaman: The Becoming and Black Manta in February 2022!

When a suicide bomber in Middle America is revealed as an Atlantean sleeper agent seemingly gone rogue, the Aquamen—Arthur Curry and Jackson Hyde—are on the case. But it soon becomes clear that the tragedy was not just a single bad actor, but the beginnings of a much larger and more dangerous chain reaction…and the heart of an explosive Atlantean conspiracy! If Arthur’s not careful, the secrets he’s keeping—from Mera, Tula, Tempest, Atlantis, the surface, and even Jackson—could cause a rift from which the Aquamen might never recover!



Aquamen #1, written by Chuck Brown and Brandon Thomas with art by Sami Basri and Adriano Lucas, launches on February 22! The debut issue of the ongoing new series will have a cover by Travis Moore, card stock variant covers by both Kael Ngu and Nick Robles, and a 1:25 ratio variant cover by Jim Lee and Alex Sinclair. Additionally, fans will be able to purchase a Black History Month variant cover by Alexis Franklin.

And the final issue of Aquaman: The Becoming leads directly into the Aquamen launch as well! Alongside family old and new, Jackson Hyde races to stop the next big undersea terrorist attack—and this time, Mera’s the target! But if he hopes to overcome his greatest enemy yet and protect the people he loves most, he’ll have to stop waiting for someone to give him permission to lead. It’s time for Jackson to reach out and take the mantle of Aquaman!

Aquaman: The Becoming #6, written by Brandon Thomas with pencils by Diego Olortegui, inks by Wade von Grawbadger, a cover by David Talaski and a card stock variant cover by Khary Randolph, arrives in comic shops on 2/15/22—one week before Aquamen #1!

So because he's going to be Aquaman, he gets his own trident?

instead of being blonde with blue eyes I much prefer if Jackson had Kaldur'ahm's YJ color scheme where his eyes are a green-ish grey and his hair is more platinum white; that feels more magical to me.

I'm ready for some design changes for Jackson as well. If anything they should quickly do away with the blond hair like his Future State look. Agree about the eyes.

I will say this after today's issue we should really be surprised that Jackson did not start out a villain who later switched sides.
