It's all-out action as Aquaman feels the wrath It's all-out action as Aquaman feels the wrath of Atlas as he makes his first appearance in The New 52! And the environmental havoc seen in the pages of SWAMP THING may put Arthur on a collision course with a certain Avatar of the Green!
Update: According to The Aquaman Shrine on Twitter, this solicit was supposed to say "Hercules" and not "Atlas". The aquatic @JeffParker was nice enough to tip us off regarding a case of "Premature Solicitation" regarding next week's AQUAMAN #29... ...which will feature the King of Atlantis vs the Lion of Olympus: HERCULES in an issue chock full of action & intrigue! Sorry, Atlas!
Note that the final cover is slightly different from the original solicited image (click on the cover above to see the image history and compare the two versions).
Synopsis
After Dr. Evans opens a portal to hell, Aquaman must battle the hordes that emerge... which include an Olympian demi-god.
Summary
At the lighthouse, Aquaman discovers the theft of the trident. Officer Watson discovers that a plane left in the middle of the night to the archaeological dig in the Azores.
At the dig, Evans holds a press conference as he uses the trident to attempt to prove a theory about Atlantis. He believes there is a temporal bend that involves Atlantis and that the trident is the key to a "honeycomb of time and space". However, he instead opens a portal to a prison in which ancient Atlanteans imprisoned the giant-born.
In Atlantis, Mera arrives for an emergency council session. An Atlantean scientist tells Mera of a giant algae bloom that threatened all life in the ocean.
Aquaman arrives at the portal opened by Evans and begins to battle the giant-born. In response, they summon another creature from the portal, telling Aquaman that his ancestor Atlanteans got help from Hercules to bottle up the giant-born, but then trapped Hercules with them.
Comments
This issue features a 1:25 Robot Chicken variant cover.
In the first panel of the story, Aquaman says "Outrageous!" which is the catchphrase of the Brave and the Bold cartoon Aquaman.
