Aquaman, Vol. 4

Iqula leads a Tritonian army to Poseidonis, to protect her. Now that Poseidonis' dome has been shattered, he feels that is the responsibility of his people to save the Poseidonians from themselves. Aquaman disagrees, knowing protection carries a cost. He will not hand Poseiodonis to the Tritonians. Aquaman and Iqula fight, and Iqula taunts him by invoking memories of his estranged wife and dead child. Swarmed by Iqula's troops, Aquaman sends out a telepathic call and sea creatures aid him, forcing Iqula to concede defeat. King Thesily communicates with the United Nations. They want an Atlantean presence; Thesily sends Aquaman. King Firtf of Tritonis makes a shady deal with Aquaman's enemy Black Manta. En route to the United Nations, Aquaman again runs afoul of the whaling advocate Queequeg.
