A new creative tide rolls in with Aquaman #26 – 2013, marking the debut of acclaimed writer Jeff Parker as he takes the helm following Geoff Johns’ landmark run. Paired with artist Paul Pelletier, Parker dives headfirst into the politics, power struggles, and monstrous threats that lie beneath Atlantis’s shimmering surface.

In issue #26, Arthur Curry begins to grapple with the burden of kingship in a kingdom that both reveres and resents him. As Atlantis attempts to stabilise after the events of Throne of Atlantis and Death of a King, a dangerous new creature from the ocean’s darkest trench awakens—ancient, violent, and beyond control. At the same time, internal dissent stirs within the Atlantean elite, questioning Aquaman’s right to rule and his trust in the surface world.

Jeff Parker brings a fresh voice to Aquaman—balancing royal responsibility with superhero spectacle. His version of Arthur is assertive, introspective, and emotionally intelligent. Meanwhile, Paul Pelletier’s visuals maintain cinematic clarity and intensity, with dramatic undersea action sequences and expressive character work that echo the visual tone of the preceding run while beginning to establish a voice all its own.

Aquaman #26 is a pivotal transitional issue that lays the groundwork for new conflicts, mythological discoveries, and political intrigue. It’s a perfect jumping-on point for readers curious about Arthur’s next chapter, while remaining rewarding for long-time fans.
