JUSTICE LEAGUE: THRONE OF ATLANTIS
HARDCOVER
Aquaman
visits his brother the Orm to see if he is behind the recent theft of Atlantean
artifacts and plans on attacking the surface world. Meanwhile someone has
released the Trench. An aircraft carrier launches missiles which hit Atlantis
provoking them to attack. Both Superman and Woman catch an aircraft carrier
from destroying Metroplis as Orm attacks the surface world. The Justice League
wants to bring Orm in but his older brother Aquaman defends him.
The story
had little impact as it placed Aquaman as King of Atlantis and leaving the
Justice League one member short. Amanda Waller is seen to assemble a new
Justice League while Batman opens their ranks.
