Object context
THE DEADLY RETURN OF BLACK MANTA! Emperor Aquaman's reign begins here! His new mission: to establish "Lighthouses" across the galaxy in order to stave off trouble before it reaches Earth. Joining him on his new mission are familiar and unfamiliar faces, including King Shark, who has pledged his loyalty to Arthur and joined the ranks of the King's Guard—the Shiver. But as they step into the Blue Gate and travel to worlds beyond, these beasts may have bitten off more than they can chew with their sizable jaws!
