AQUAMAN has been a blast since the relaunch in the "New 52." Geoff Johns has expressed how much he digs the character and the first five issues reflect that. More and more each month, readers are learning that Aquaman actually is pretty cool.

We're on the verge of discovering the story behind Atlantis and how it ended up on the bottom of the ocean. While the solicit information for issue #7 has already been released, a cover hadn't been seen. A placeholder image from the first issue had been used. Now we can finally see what the cover will look like.

That's a pretty sweet cover. A few minutes ago, Geoff Johns himself tweeted the image by Ivan Reis, Rod Reis and Joe Prado saying this is the cover that had not been seen by anyone yet. He mentioned that the issue will start the next arc, "The Other League." Now that he put it out there, we can all drool over enjoy it.

Here's the solicit info. for issue #7:

Who destroyed Atlantis? In the start of a new storyline, we follow the hunter as he stalks and kills his prey, claiming their weapons and armor as trophies. A golden shield, a golden helm…and the final prize is the most powerful of all: a golden trident. The only problem is, he's going to have to go through Aquaman to get it. Who is he? What is the secret of Aquaman's trident? And how does this all tie into the destruction of Atlantis?

AQUAMAN #7 is on sale March 28, 2012.

i though he looked like a redesigned fisherman, or their was another character can't recall the name but he was possessed by a helmet that looked like a gold starfish and latched onto his head the same way a staro would

Couldn't Geoff Johns keep the awesome The Obsidian Age arc in continuity? It was probably one of the best Aquaman arc ever, answered the "Who sank Atlantis?" question (spoiler alert: it was Aquaman himself, which explained why he was no longer king afterwards) and even had an Atlantis league of its own in the past: the League of Ancients.

You think that Puma can breath underwater? I'm anxious to find out.

I hate waiting for Aquaman in trade, but I can't afford to catch myself up on issues and also buy the new months issue

#23 Posted by Skaddix (3051 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago - Show Bio

Looks Awesome. After this Ocean Master Arc then the return of Black Manta. I think I remember an interview saying that is the order.

I just want to see Aqualad and Aquagirl.

Still this should be great

That cover looks absolutely amazing. As for this "Other League"...I'm completely on board on the train of intrigue now. Go Orin!

#26 Posted by supermanprime6 (110 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago - Show Bio

Well, Johns has done it. Aquaman is officially my favorite superhero.

#27 Posted by Avenging-X-Bolt (8900 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago - Show Bio

@ The Stegman That's not even a dog, that's some kind of panther....

#28 Posted by PrinceIMC (5347 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago - Show Bio

Probably Poseidon's weapons and armor or something. I'm looking forward to this.

#29 Posted by shawn87 (2093 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago - Show Bio

The other league? International? Dark? Detroi--- noooooooooooooouuuu!!!! but seriously, it would be interesting if Aquaman had his own league with unique characters.

#36 Posted by circusrock (29 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago - Show Bio

So amped to find out the secrets of the Trident

#37 Posted by sethysquare (3806 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago - Show Bio

YESSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

#38 Posted by BKole (489 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago - Show Bio

Not going to lie - not enjoying all of the designs there. I usually love Ivan Reis, who is literally a freaking powerhouse and a work horse - Blackest Night, Brightest Day, Straight from Green Lantern with very little in the way of Fill In Artists, as well as providing regular covers for things like Res Man. He's amazing. This just doesn't....work all that great for me personally.

Still, Aquaman is on my pull list and has been from the start, so...exciting times.

#39 Posted by Or35ti (1069 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago - Show Bio

Wait I'm confused, is this like an underwater Justice League? cos that sounds freaking awesome! Who but Geoff Johns to expand a character's cast, universe and mythos like this

#40 Posted by UltimateSMfan (585 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago - Show Bio

now im not sayin its accurate,but maybe 'The Other League' is a kind of ocean, sea reference and not exactly meaning this league of people,like "the trench" this could be the other 'League' -like the measurement OR it could Have a double meaning n mean both things........btw loving Aquaman,and that cover oh wow Ivan,Rod and Joe are fricken Geniuses!!!

#41 Posted by ScoobyM (14 posts) - 1 year, 3 months ago - Show Bio

this cover looks like new avengers 1, secret invasion 1, dark avengers 1, and variant of uncanny xforce 16

Really like the artwork. It's comic book, but at the same time it captures so much detail. This guy has done the best work for the new 52. I hope he continues to do so.

Geoff Johns is a genius.

I hope these are new versions of classic characters and not just new characters altogether. The N52 needs more of them like I need another hole in the head... and I already have enough trouble with this one.

"Oh God, does that hurt?"

Yeah, and the worst part is that I got it on the gay side of my head so now everyone thinks I'm gay.
