Preview Text
He's saved a diver from a vicious shark attack – but he'll soon regret it. His most powerful weapon has been stolen from his care – and he's never even heard of the man who took it. But Aquaman's greatest challenge yet may be Amnesty Bay's ten year high school reunion!
Synopsis
After learning of a strange underwater base, Aquaman returns to Amnesty Bay and attends his high school reunion.
Summary
The Atlanteans approach Triton Base, following the mental signature of the Karaqan. Aquaman spots Coombs being mauled by sharks and rushes to help. Triton Base assumes Aquaman is attacking them and fire missiles at him, one of which hits him. Dr. Shin stops the attack, arguing that Aquaman is trying to save Coombs. Aquaman brings the badly mangled Coombs back into the base, but is immediately threatened by Mr. Blythe. Shin promises to tell him about it later.
Aquaman send Commander Neol to tell the council, and returns to Amnesty Bay to await Shin's report. He's met by an old high school friend who tells him about the high school reunion. Mera wants to go, but Aquaman recalls a horrible incident in childhood, when he was 13 years old. Mera talks him into it anyway.
Evans is outside the lighthouse, spying on Aquaman.
Back at Triton base, Dr. Orson asks permission to experiment on Coombs, since his injuries were so back that he's in a vegetative state.
People are shocked when Aquaman shows up at the reunion at Amnesty High School. He gets a number of different reactions, including anger and fear, but is made welcome by some people. Mera finds one of his old girlfriends to compare notes with. Aquaman is told that the guy involved in the horrible childhood incident now brags about it.
Professor Evans returns to his archaeological dig with Aquaman's trident, which he uses as a key in a stone carving at the location.
Comments
This issue features a 1:25 Steampunk variant cover by Richard Horie.
Salty is still considered Aquaman's dog, with Jenny taking care of him. Erika borrowed Salty, and was visiting the lighthouse to chase off trespassers (Evans?) when she ran into Aquaman and Mera returning from Triton Base.
