Aquaman and the Others Vol. 2: Alignment: Earth

Book excerpt: Empowered with Atlantean artifacts, the Others were Aquaman’s first team from before he ever joined the Justice League. Now the King of Atlantis is reunited with the Operative, Ya’Wara, Prisoner-of-War and Vostok-X. Together, the Others are a powerful force for good...but there’s a new team that’s just as powerful, and they’re out to reshape the world in their own image. They call themselves Mayhem. Led by mercenaries KGBeast and Cheshire, they’ve stolen the launch codes to a Soviet-era satellite full of nuclear weapons, and they’ve got them pointed at Earth. Whether they want to see us pay or watch us burn, only the Others can stop them. But Mayhem have ties to several members of the Others, and not everyone’s allegiances are clear. When the final battle comes, who will be fighting to protect the Earth...and who will be fighting to destroy it? Writer Dan Jurgens (THE NEW 52: FUTURES END) and artist Lan Medina (FABLES) pit Aquaman’s first team against their greatest threat yet! Collects AQUAMAN AND THE OTHERS #6-11, AQUAMAN: FUTURES END #1, and AQUAMAN AND THE OTHERS: FUTURES END #1.
