You know that feeling when a comic book genuinely surprises you and leaves you wanting more? That’s exactly what Aquaman #7 delivers. Jeremy Adams continues to redefine what we expect from Aquaman, completely reshaping Arthur Curry’s world.

The story opens with an assault deeper into Dagon’s realm with Aquaman and his allies, Arion, Vivienne, Captain Nemo, and even a surprise appearance by Zan of the Wonder Twins. They’re on a perilous quest to finally find the lost Atlantis. Adams masterfully builds suspense. The stakes feel incredibly high, and Shelfer’s art perfectly captures the scale and intensity of these action moments. This is the kind of action that makes you think, “Look out below!” as Aquaman leaps into the fray with his trident. Arthur truly remains the badass king we’ve loved throughout this run.

But the real gut-punch of this issue comes with a shocking reveal. When Aquaman finally locates Atlantis, he discovers that time has played a cruel trick. Decades have passed within Dagon’s dimension since he last saw his people, his wife Mera, and their daughter, Andy. This revelation culminates in a truly wrenching sequence: Andrina “Andy” Curry, whom we’ve only seen as a toddler, is now a grown young woman, and Mera is tragically on her deathbed. The sadness on Arthur’s face, the “tears underwater,” are palpable. It’s an incredibly emotional sequence that Adams, Shelfer, and the team absolutely knock out of the park.

This twist is a massive game-changer for the series. Aquaman’s reunion with his family is overshadowed by profound grief and the realization that his loved ones are now effectively strangers, having experienced a lifetime without him. The dynamic between Arthur and his adult daughter, as they navigate their shared loss and unfamiliarity, promises to be a compelling focal point moving forward.

While this issue is packed with action and advances the main plot, its true strength lies in Adams’ character work and his willingness to truly shake things up. The emotional toll on Arthur is palpable, and the introduction of a grown Andy in such a fraught manner elevates Aquaman into must-read territory. Michael Shelfer’s artwork delivers, capturing both the grandeur of the underwater world and the raw emotion of these pivotal character moments.

Aquaman #7 is a major turning point that delivers a powerful emotional punch. It leaves you eager to see how Aquaman and his now adult daughter will navigate this new, heartbreaking reality and confront the formidable Dagon. This issue solidifies Jeremy Adams’ run as one of the most intriguing and emotionally resonant in recent Aquaman history.
