Aquaman Volume 6 – DC – (2003–2006) – #1–39

📘 Series Summary

Aquaman Volume 6 begins in 2003, charting Arthur Curry’s return to prominence following his resurrection in the “Obsidian Age” storyline. The run opens with the acclaimed “Waterbearer” arc, which reframes Aquaman’s connection to the mystical forces of the ocean and expands his role beyond that of traditional superhero. Subsequent arcs—including the fan-favorite “American Tidal”—push Aquaman into new political and environmental arenas, challenging him to confront crises that threaten both the surface world and Atlantis itself.

Across its 39-issue span, the series explores rebuilding Atlantis, navigating shifting alliances, and redefining Aquaman’s identity as king, guardian, and symbol. The run incorporates major DC Universe events such as *Infinite Crisis* and *The OMAC Project*, reinforcing his importance within larger continuity while retaining strong character-centric storytelling. This era emphasizes the tension between Arthur’s royal obligations and his compassion for those caught between land and sea.

The series concludes with issue #39 before undergoing a dramatic tonal shift and rebranding into Aquaman: Sword of Atlantis beginning with issue #40. As such, the first 39 issues form a complete, self-contained era that bridges mythic reinvention, political intrigue, and classic Aquaman heroism.

⭐ Why This Series Stands Out

  • Complete 39-issue Arthur Curry era prior to the transition into Sword of Atlantis.
  • Features key story arcs including “The Waterbearer” and “American Tidal,” both central to modern Aquaman lore.
  • Re-establishes Aquaman as a major DC hero following the “Obsidian Age.”
  • Integrates major crossover moments such as *Infinite Crisis* and *The OMAC Project*.
  • Expands the mythology, politics, and environmental stakes surrounding Atlantis.
  • A pivotal transitional run shaping the Aquaman narratives of the 2000s.
