In "The Watery War of the Weather Wizard," Aquaman and Mera face off against a storm-wielding foe whose powers turn the seas into a tempestuous battleground, while Aqualad and Tula stumble upon a mysterious stranger who speaks of a hidden people with eyes just like Aqualad’s.

In "Sins of the Father," Aqualad confronts a startling revelation when he encounters an old man who claims he is the son of Thar, the former king of the Idylists—whose death at the hands of his own people shakes Aqualad to his core. The truth of his lineage forces him to reckon with a past he never knew, unraveling the foundations of who he thought he was.
