Aquaman investigates a deep trench with the Sea Devils, until a monster arrives and takes Deep Blue down into it. Aquaman descends, and finds his old foe, Black Manta.

Mera, insane with grief over the loss of her baby, attacks Aquaman. She is apparently killed.

Aquaman returns to Atlantis to find it destroyed by the Spectre and many of his former subjects dead. He leads the survivors to Sub Diego but their assimilation will not be easy.

Manta convinces several Tritonians to join him in attacking Poseidonis, forcing Aquaman back to reality. Aquaman joins the fight and (possibly kills Manta).

Aquaman leads his people from the shattered city, and goes to Tritonis, only to discover that Tritonis has been completely destroyed. He and Tempest lead the armies of Atlantis...

Aquaman and the JLA discuss the situation, and the Atlantean armies are tricked into attacking Cerdia. In the confusion, Aquaman and Tempest search for the Cerdian queen, and...

Aquaman and Ocean Master fight, while the JLA tries to stop the Atlantean armies (who are actually being manipulated by Ocean Master) from destroying Cerdia.

Aquaman talks a mob out of violence, then helps Tempest to free his son from Ocean Master.
