Aquaman – Black Manta Rising | Comics

Previously, Black Manta attempted to publicly discredit Aquaman, when the King of Atlantis welcomed personnel from all over the world in Spindrift Station embassy. Manta is eventually subdued after a fight and taken into custody but was rescued by an unknown third party.

It was a secret global terrorism cell called N.E.M.O. who rescued him to use him as their pawn against Atlantis but he slays the Fisher King and immediately assumes control over N.E.M.O.

With under-boss Black Jack at his side, Manta plans on his scheme of destruction against Arthur Curry and everything he cares for. Meanwhile, Aquaman returns to his kingdom after he had a scuffle with American government as a result of a serious misunderstanding and all his loyal servants awaits their king.

As Arthur was already thinking about Superman warning him to sorting things out, Elder Koah approaches him about Mera of Xebel, who has to undergo traditional rituals if she is to marry him, which angers Arthur but Mera agrees to do so anyway.

When learning of a apocalyptic prophecy from Widowhood, Mera comes to an inner conflict whether to marry her love. The surface world is attacked again by Atlantean force and Arthur suspects the involvement of The Deluge but Corum Rath believes otherwise.

N.E.M.O. secretly orchestrated the release of the monstrous Shaggy Man who laid waste of Atlantis and heavily bruised Arthur before he took care of him. Things went so bad this time that the entire Justice League came looking for Aquaman in his kingdom.

Though the title of the story has the name of Aquaman's life-long arch-enemy Black Manta, he actually manipulated the entire plot from beyond the reach. Aside from Aquaman and Mera, the story features appearance of Batman, Cyborg, The Flash, Green Lantern, Superman and Wonder Woman in particular.
