With under-boss Black Jack at his side, Manta plans on his scheme of destruction against Arthur Curry and everything he cares for. Meanwhile, Aquaman returns to his kingdom after he had a scuffle with American government as a result of a serious misunderstanding and all his loyal servants awaits their king.

As Arthur was already thinking about Superman warning him to sorting things out, Elder Koah approaches him about Mera of Xebel, who has to undergo traditional rituals if she is to marry him, which angers Arthur but Mera agrees to do so anyway.

When learning of a apocalyptic prophecy from Widowhood, Mera comes to an inner conflict whether to marry her love. The surface world is attacked again by Atlantean force and Arthur suspects the involvement of The Deluge but Corum Rath believes otherwise.

N.E.M.O. secretly orchestrated the release of the monstrous Shaggy Man who laid waste of Atlantis and heavily bruised Arthur before he took care of him. Things went so bad this time that the entire Justice League came looking for Aquaman in his kingdom.

Batman – I Am Gotham

Comic-book writer Tom King (Grayson – Agents of Spyral, Grayson – We All Die at Dawn) and artist David Finch (Brightest Day, Forever Evil) takes up the new monthly ongoing Batman books in the beginning of DC Rebirth from DC Comics. The storyline collects the one-shot Batman – Rebirth issue and issue #01-06 from the ongoing run.

The arc introduced two brand-new superheroes in Gotham City who came to help and pretty quickly things escalated to the point where we get to see the Justice League consisting of Aquaman, Cyborg, Flash, Green Lantern, Superman and Wonder Woman going up against one of them in a brawl only to take a severe beating like never before.

Knights of Gotham

Narrator Tom King does the stunt of scaring the readers by playing with the idea that series protagonist is about to die at the very beginning and then toned down everything back to normal and gave him more work to do afterwards, rather than just dying.

The story also teases towards the upcoming crossover "Night of the Monster Men" at several points on multiple occasions, which is also a nod to a six-issue limited series "Batman and the Monster Men" from 2006, the era before Flashpoint crossover. The plot will be continued in the next storyline "I Am Suicide", followed by "I Am Bane".

Superman – Savage Dawn

The Immortal Combat

The previous Superman storylines have explored the idea of a new Strange Visitor; Ulysses, (The Men of Tomorrow) Superman discovering new Solar Flare power and a mysterious enemy HORDR Root knowing his secret identity  was all a build-up to the bigger picture. In “Savage Dawn”, it is finally revealed that all the dots of the plots prior to this connect here and it doesn’t get better than this. Writer Greg Pak (Batman/Superman, World War Hulk), Gene Luen Yang (New Super-Man, Superman – Before Truth) and Peter Tomasi (Black Adam – The Dark Age, Superman/Wonder Woman) made it large with their envisioned plotting skills, while Aaron Kuder (The Amory Wars, Key of Z) also included himself among their league. Artist Ardian Syaf (Brightest Day, Flashpoint – Emperor Aquaman), Dan Jurgens (Death of Superman, Superman/Doomsday – Hunter/Prey) Doug Mahnke (Final Crisis, Justice League Elite) and Howard Porter (JLA, The Flash) did not only took care of the interiors but also provided cover arts. Ed Benes (Birds of Prey, WildC.A.T.S.) and John Romita, Jr. (Amazing Spider-Man, Kick-Ass) also made their presence known quite dominantly by delivering some of the jaw-dropping covers for the issues involved. Savage Dawn eventually leads to The Final Days of Superman; a prelude to DC Rebirth.
