Aquaman #13
In "The Deluge Act Two," Aquaman races to clear Atlantis' name as N.E.M.O. orchestrates a devastating campaign against the United States, forcing the hero to plead with the Justice League to intervene. With the fate of his kingdom hanging in the balance, Aquaman must navigate political suspicion and a sudden attack on Atlantis by a disguised N.E.M.O. vessel—only to find himself without the proof needed to stop the US from launching a deadly mission to assassinate him. Written by Dan Abnett and illustrated by Scot Eaton, with inks by Wayne Faucher, colors by Gabe Eltaeb, and letters by Pat Brosseau, this pivotal issue features a cover by Brad Walker and Andrew Hennessy.

Aquaman convinces the Justice League that Atlantis is being framed by N.E.M.O. for the attacks on the US, and asks the League to go to the White House to ask the US for a cease-fire against Atlantis. Commander Stubbs, commanding a N.E.M.O. ship disguised as a US ship, leads an attack on Atlantis. Aquaman fights the N.E.M.O. ship but fails to capture any crew members alive to confess to N.E.M.O.'s involvement. Without proof of a third party behind the attacks, the US rejects the cease-fire option and orders the Aqua-Marines to Atlantis on a mission to assassinate Aquaman.
