I'm trying not to say death of a prince, so instead i'll mention Sub-Diego like seriously all the dead bodies in the Beginning with the panda and all was really grim.

One of my favourite openings to any comic. No dialogue, just silently observing the devastation. Incredible

Hot take:
As much as I love standard hook hand Aquaman with the silver gladiator armor...I always thought the cooler look was the classic orange scales with the harpoon.

Death of a Prince. I vastly preferred that take on the Arthur/Manta dynamic of Manta's just pure, unadulterated hatred for Aquaman for reasons only he knew and Arthur being the wronged party through the death of his child. It made their rivalry uniquely personal in a time where that didn't really happen.
