But they need him.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Aquaman is back to challenge his status as a second-tier superhero.

As the King of the Seven Seas, Aquaman has sworn to protect his ocean home and there's been no greater threat to date than what's to come. <p/> They are called the Trench. And they are hungry. <p/> As thousands of carnivorous beasts emerge from the ocean's depths, can Aquaman protect his people from this deadly new threat? And also the surface world that he now calls home? <p/> This is Aquaman's renaissance--a cutting-edge revival of the King of the Seven Seas featuring the creative team behind <i>New York Times</i> best-selling graphic novels <i>Blackest Night</i> and <i>Justice League: Throne of Atlantis</i>!<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Fresh. --<i>Entertainment Weekly</i> <p/>This might be [Geoff Johns's] most impressive feat to date.
