Storyline
Aqualad recovers from his injuries, but has partial amnesia and believes that he must help Aquaman rescue Mera from the Sea Sorcerers, not recalling that Aquaman is currently searching elsewhere for Mera. During his search, he is captured by a race of sea creatures who force him to battle their champion in an arena. Meanwhile, Aquaman encounters a race of undersea giants and a surface man who studies them. Back in Atlantis, a sea quake strikes the city.
