In "Sorcerers of the Sea," Aquaman and Aqualad race to find Mera after she’s abducted by unseen foes, leading them to a hidden undersea village frozen in a medieval past—where they encounter a queen whose presence feels eerily familiar.
In "The Trail of the Ring!", Aquaman ventures into the uncharted Depths in search of the missing Mera, where he encounters a peaceful people living in harmony with massive sea creatures. When he kills one of the beasts to save a villager, the community’s trust shatters, turning them against him.
In "Is This My Foe?..", Aquaman's quest for Mera takes him to the hidden undersea realm of the Maarzons, where he discovers Black Manta has seized control—and now must face him in a deadly duel for answers. As the search deepens, back in Atlantis, Narkran’s growing power begins to mirror the very tyranny Aquaman left behind.
In "To Win Is to Lose!", Aqualad struggles to piece together his memories after a brutal encounter, convinced he must aid Aquaman in rescuing Mera—though he doesn’t remember that Aquaman is already searching for her elsewhere. Trapped in a brutal underwater arena, he must fight to survive, while Aquaman faces a mysterious race of undersea giants and a surface scholar studying them. Meanwhile, Atlantis trembles as a sudden sea quake shakes the city to its core.
In "Underworld Reward!", Aquaman lands on the surface with a mission to find Mera, only to stumble into a brutal gangland killing that ignites a deadly bounty on his head. While he’s hunted by ruthless criminals, Aqualad faces his own crisis as the Men of Eldfur rely on him to confront the terrifying Bugala, a monstrous threat rising from the deep.
In "The Explanation!", an injured Aquaman is pulled from the wreckage by Mera, who recounts her own ordeal after being kidnapped by exiled Atlanteans working for a crime syndicate. As she describes how she escaped her cell—just as Aquaman was battling the syndicate—she reveals the unexpected connection that brought them together. Meanwhile, back in Atlantis, Tula uncovers a secret resistance movement aiming to challenge the rule of Narkran.
In "Come the Revolution," Aquaman and Mera race to stop the tyrant Narkran in Atlantis, but a new lead pulls them off course—tracking the missing Aqualad. Meanwhile, in the underwater city, the resistance rises against Narkran’s forces, and Tula finds herself caught in the crossfire.
In "A Kingdom to Re-Build!", Aquaman, Mera, and Aqualad return to Atlantis to find the city in turmoil, with rebels locked in battle against Narkran’s forces. With the tide turning, Aquaman must reclaim his throne and restore peace to a kingdom torn apart.
