A new tide begins in Aquaman #17 – Vol. 7 – 2013, launching the critically acclaimed Throne of Atlantis: Aftermath arc and marking a major turning point in Arthur Curry’s journey as both hero and king. With Geoff Johns at the helm and artwork by Paul Pelletier, this issue begins a bold new era as Atlantis rebuilds and Aquaman assumes full command of a kingdom still licking its wounds from war.

In the wake of a devastating conflict between Atlantis and the surface world, issue #17 focuses on Arthur’s uneasy transition from warrior to ruler. Trust is in short supply, both within his kingdom and beyond. Allies question his decisions, the Atlantean council stirs with dissent, and tensions linger with the Justice League. Mera, ever loyal yet fiercely independent, remains his closest confidante as new threats begin to stir from the ocean floor.

Geoff Johns uses this issue to reframe Aquaman as a leader with depth, political pressure, and emotional weight, while Paul Pelletier’s artwork introduces a fresh aesthetic to the underwater world—fluid, detailed, and expansive. This issue strikes a fine balance between quiet character moments and looming geopolitical danger, setting the stage for what’s to come in one of the strongest modern runs in DC continuity.

Perfect for collectors and readers following the Throne of Atlantis storyline, Aquaman #17 acts as both an epilogue and a fresh entry point. It represents Aquaman’s maturity into a fully realised monarch, grappling with legacy, loyalty, and power in a world that still misunderstands him.
