Aquaman by Peter David #2

In "Exodus!", Aquaman returns to the city just in time for King Thesily’s funeral, where Koryak rallies the people before leading them away. Left behind, Dolphin stays to comfort Aquaman—only for their moment to be cut short by the sudden return of Mera.

In "Acts," Peter David crafts a tense underwater drama where Mera’s sudden escape into the real world ignites fury in Thanatos and conflict with Dolphin, while Koryak guides his people toward the fabled city of Tritonis. As tensions rise, Mera plunges into a bottomless pit, drawing Aquaman and Dolphin into the depths after her—into a mystery deeper than the ocean itself.

In "Judges," Aquaman battles the spectral Thanatos across haunting dreamscapes, while Mera, Dolphin, and AJ race to uncover the truth behind the visions. Meanwhile, in Tritonis, Koryak defies King Iqula by leading the Poseidonians into forbidden tunnels, setting a dangerous chain of events in motion.

In "Lamentations," Aquaman finds himself displaced when Thanatos takes his place in the real world, plunging the underwater realm into uncertainty. With Major Disaster mistaken for the hero and wielding Neron’s power, chaos erupts—while Koryak and his people uncover impossible drawings deep in their sacred tunnels. As tensions rise, Aquaman reaches out to the ancient Atlan, seeking answers in a crisis that defies both sea and shadow.

In "Kings," Aquaman and Dolphin stand firm as the Justice League is forced to retreat from Poseidonis, wary of the rising threat from Thanatos. When Kordax strikes, enslaving the city's people after defeating Koryak, the underwater kingdom faces its darkest hour—its rulers now prisoners of a conqueror’s will.

In "Numbers," Aquaman journeys to the hidden island of Hy-Brasil seeking allies against an imminent invasion, but finds himself at odds with Admiral Strom, a figure whose loyalty is far from certain. With the JLA dismissing his warnings as paranoia, Aquaman must trust his instincts—and the people of Hy-Brasil—before it's too late.

In "Biblical Sense," Aquaman’s tour of Hy-Brasil takes a sudden turn when Dolphin experiences a disturbing vision that leaves her acting out in violent confusion. Captured and put on trial, she’s only freed when Aquaman intervenes—just as Admiral Strom races to warn Ocean Master of his approaching arrival.
