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.

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.
