[ad_1]

Artwork from DC provides a glimpse at Aquaman: The Becoming #1, the first of six issues charting the ascent of Aqualad to Aquaman.

Artwork from Aquaman: The Becoming #1 foreshadows the perilous mission that the Justice League will be undertaking with Jackson Hyde in the vanguard.

As DC’s “new Aquaman” prepares to do battle against the Parademons of Apokolips and a mysterious villain known as “Deluge,” the publisher put out some examples of the work readers can expect from artists Diego Olortegui, Wade Von Grawbadger and Adriano Lucas. An eclectic mix of internal art and covers, the preview shows off the stark yet vibrant look of the planetwide metropolis ruled by Darkseid.

  • Jackson Hyde finally has it all. Mentors who support him, a community that loves him, an honest relationship with his mother, a cute new guy in Amnesty Bay who’s caught his eye, and access to Aquaman’s private training facility in Atlantis. Well, he had it all—until that training facility and half of the Atlantean palace got blown to kingdom come with Jackson in them. Now Jackson stands accused of wrecking the life he worked so hard to build. Aqualad’s going to need all of his skills, wit, and cunning just to prove his own innocence, let alone graduate from sidekick to Aquaman!

Aquaman: The Becoming is a coming-of-age story for Jackson Hyde, marking his final transformation from Aqualad to Aquaman,” revealed writer Brandon Thomas. Pivoting to the topic of Hyde’s unfamiliar foe, Thomas stated that a “new villain called Deluge has been waiting and watching, enraged at what Jackson has built for himself, believing that he never deserved it.”

Aquaman: The Becoming #1, written by Brandon Thomas, with art by Diego Olortegui, Wade Von Grawbadger and Adriano Lucas, will be released in print and as a digital comic book on Sept. 21.
