Aquaman is often thought of as one of DC's most colorful and often comical heroes, at least in pop culture perception. But while writer Ram V and🦩 artist Christian Ward's DC Black Label limited series Aquaman: Andromeda seems to maintain the wonder and the brightly engaging palette of the Aquaman of Super Frienꦿds and Jason Momoa's movies, it puts the hero himself in a story that appears to channel a lot more cosmic horror than he's usually associated with.

Don't expect that to mean you won't also get a healthy dose of good old fashioned Aquam🌃an action, as the plot revolves around a race between Aquaman and his arch-enemy Black Manta to reach a mysterious underwater anomaly being investigated by an experimental submarine known as the Andromeda (hence the title).

, pairing V's ominous, almost poetic narration, delivered by letterer Aditya Bidikar, with some downright psychedelic art from Ward.

In the pages, a young girl has a stark, dre☂amlike encounter with the ocean ♌that points to something beyond the normal realm of perception lurking below the water.

Check out the preview of the pages from Aquaman: Andromeda #1, along with Ward's main cover and variant covers from Bryan Hitch and Alex Sinclair, and An🍸and RK right here:

Aquaman: Andromeda is a DC Black Label title, m♔eaning it technically takes place outside of mainstream DC continuity and may explore more mature themes and content than regular DC titles.

That said, given what DC shows of Aquaman: Andromeda here along with what's been 🌳shown in advance solicitations for the three issue limited series, it seems like fans of Ram V's w🦄riting on titles like and Christian Ward's art on stories like will more than get their fill of oceanic sci-fi horror.

Aquaman: Andromeda #1 goes on sale June 7.
