Aquaman #48 returns the birth name to the titular character and seeks to reset the memories of the amnesiac Arthur Curry by returning him to the depths of the ocean.

The story we’ve been waiting for is finally here as Aquaman is taken on a vision quest guided by Mother Shark and initiated by The Old Gods.

DeConnick now may set the record straight, and by recapping his origin story, the traditional one, and she is able to bring both the reader and Arthur up to speed.

At The Village of Unspoken Water, the man known as Andy is given a tea by the village’s Old Gods and send into a vision quest in the depths of the sunken forest with Mother Shark.
