Cover of Aquaman #26

Aquaman "Twilight" only slightly depended on Final Night, and it was really more about Arthur's troubles with inhuman females. He has a spat with the ship (which apparently loves him or something...shades of Dreadstar's sword) while trying to go save Porm, his dolphin mother, from the frozen seas. Meanwhile, Koryak would really like to patch things up with his dad, but Arthur's too busy at the end of the world trying to deal with his own emotional baggage.

And he just got another trunk dropped on his head. Porm's been slain by some cyborged Japanese guy as revenge (presumably he was one of the many dolphin hunters Arthur's dumped in the sea).
