Synopsis
A new threat rises in Antartica. Aquaman, Murk, and their teams scour the seas for lost Atlantean weapons. Tula confronts Aquaman about her brother Orm's fate. Aquaman seeks Vulko's advice on who is behind the trading of Atlantean weapons. Murk pledges to help Tula free Orm from prison. Mera has a run-in with the Amnesty Bay police which is interrupted by the arrival of the Dead King.

Indexer Notes

It is revealed that Tula is Orm's brother, and that they share the same father. Orm and Arthur share the same mother, so while Arthur and Tula are not related, they both have Orm as a brother.

Swatt is not indentified by name until issue #19.
