Article Summary

Aquaman faces deadly sea Kaijus in a new series by Jeremy Adams and John Timms starting January.
Atlantis faces apocalypse ties to Apokolips, leaving Aquaman a king without a home.
Aquaman's new water-morphing powers could hold the key to saving Atlantis.
Beneath the cosmos, a mysterious new god could be either savior or universe's greatest evil.

In the first issue of Aquaman by Jeremy Adams and John Timms, solicited for January, DC Comics states, "Mammoth water-construct Kaijus have emerged from each of the seven seas, and only Aquaman's water-warping abilities can stop them—but not if they kill the good king in the process!" But the February DC Comics 2025 solicits, as dropped in full by Bleeding Cool earlier today, reveal just what those underwater Kaijus may be up to in Aquaman #2… and possibly spoiling a little of Aquaman #1 in the process, with the headline "Atlantis Obliterated!" Then, following that with "after the shocking events of Aquaman #1, Arthur Curry is now a king without a home!" he also said that he was planning to "recover… Atlantis from its untimely apocalypse…or should we say Apokolips?" Maybe you should. Especially if this means the return of Darkseid. But the solicits for New Gods #3 may have other plans in that regard as well, saying, "Deep in the cosmos, an intergalactic inquisition descends upon Apokolips and New Genesis… could this child—this new god—be the universe's savior? Or could he be the reincarnation of the universe's greatest evil?".
