When a terrorist 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! As more Atlantean sleeper agents awake, more
questions are raised: How will Arthur's past mistakes come back to
haunt him? What is Ocean Master's involvement? And what brings
Jackson to the dark and dangerous streets of Gotham City? Aquamen
starts where both Aquaman: The Beginning and Black Manta ends! This
volume collects Aquamen #1-5.

The scourge of the seven seas takes the starring role for the first
time, as Aquaman s archnemesis embarks on a mission all his own!
After decades plaguing Aquaman and the rest of the DC Universe,
Black Manta stars in his own story for the first time! Black Manta
is chasing a rare metal with incredible powers, and he s not the
only one who wants to get his hands on it, friend and foe alike!
Torrid is a former ally who has escaped hell (literally!) to answer
the call of the metal, but can Manta trust her? Hopefully so
because he might need her help to fend off Devil Ray, a new
competitor for the role of the biggest villain underwater. Discover
Black Manta s secret connection to Atlantis and witness his
surprising act of heroism! Will he stay on this path, or does ice
water continue to run through his veins? The events of Black Manta
and Aquaman: The Becoming lead directly to new series Aquamen,
starring both Arthur Curry and Jackson Hyde! This volume collects
Black Manta #1-6, the full series, and a prelude story from Aquaman
80th Anniversary 100-Page Super Spectacular #1.

Gabby Cox, a shy Minnesota bachelor farmer, is content with his
quiet life. When rock star Sphinx and his celebrity girlfriend,
Sparkle, crash their private airplane into Gabby's barn, his life
is turned upside down. Sphinx and Sparkle are killed-along with a
half dozen pigs-and Gabby loses both his barn and his privacy. What
follows is the expected crush of government officials, media, and
rioting fans. Then things grow stranger as hucksters, bullies, and
zealots join the fray. Gwen Todd, Gabby's friend, has seen it all
before. A former Miss Everything in their small Minnesota town, she
went to Hollywood to make her mark, only to come home disillusioned
after a fellow star's self-destruction. Now the town librarian,
Gwen never speaks of her Hollywood days, but she worries how the
commotion caused by the celebrities' deaths will affect her friend.
Despite the chaos inundating his life, Gabby longs for Gwen to be
more than a friend. Paralyzed by shyness, he watches as a big-city
newspaper reporter romances her. The unusual events on his farm,
however, have only given Gabby a deeper appreciation of life, and
it just might give him the confidence to ask Gwen on that first
date.
