“Storm Clouds”

In "Storm Clouds," Aquaman and Mera join the Justice League of America in Vancouver to face the relentless Amazo, a threat that pushes the team to their limits. With help from the Fortress of Solitude’s secrets, Martian Manhunter uncovers a crucial weakness, but the battle’s aftermath brings personal changes—Aquaman, reinvigorated by his restored marriage, prepares to step down from the League. Meanwhile, General Hank Heywood, disillusioned by the JLA’s new direction, takes matters into his own hands by reclaiming the Bunker in the Commander Steel armor. Written by Gerry Conway and illustrated by George Tuska, with inks by Mike Machlan and colors by Gene D'Angelo, this pivotal 1985 issue features a cover by Chuck Patton and Mike Machlan.
