The 'New 52' Aquaman run is also considered great. It reinvented Aquaman for a new generation. It had amazing art that brought Atlantis and its various denizens to life. The storylines were engaging, dealing with Aquaman's struggle to be accepted as a hero on land while also ruling his underwater kingdom. His relationships with Mera and other characters were well - developed, adding depth to the overall narrative.
One of the best modern Aquaman stories is 'Aquaman: The Trench'. It delved deep into the terrifying and mysterious underwater world of the Trench. It showed Aquaman not just as a powerful hero but also as a complex character trying to protect his realm and understand the new threats emerging from the deep sea.
