Despite the Previews solicit, this issue did not have Aquaman on the cover and featured very little new information about Aquaman inside.

Fourteen years ago, Arthur and Diana meet when Diana goes out to explore the oceans and is attacked by a baby Kraken. Arthur saves her, and they decide to marry to unite the Atlanteans with the Amazons. There is a bit of objection to the union on both sides, and an assassin manages to kill Queen Hippolyta as the ceremony starts. Garth discovers the assassin, the Amazon Artemis dressed in his own armor. He learns that she is allied with Orm before she defeats him and declares him the assassin. He is killed by Penthesilea before he can tell Arthur what really happened.

Flashpoint: Emperor Aquaman 2
Emperor Aquaman: Part Two
Written by Tony Bedard, Art by Vincente Cifuentes.
Shipped 13 Jul 2011, cover date Sep 2011
Aquaman sends Orm and Siren into Themyscira to kill Tara Markov. But they are interrupted by Penthesilea, who kills Siren. While Aquaman delays leaving, wanting to go and rescue his brother, Diana and her Furies arrive.
As a counter, Aquaman's origin in the Flashpoint universe is told. It diverges from his Silver Age origin when a pregnant Atlanna is dragged back to Atlantis by her father's troops. Aquaman is abandoned on Mercy Reef after his mother dies in childbirth and is raised by his father thanks to the sea life returning him to his father's home. At age thirteen, the Atlanteans return, killing Tom Curry and taking Arthur back to Atlantis to be king after his grandfather's death. Because Tom tried to protect him from the sea, denying him his heritage, and because he lost his father earlier, Arthur in this universe becomes a hard and brutal man.
