Aquaman (1989) is a five-issue Aquaman miniseries by DC Comics and is the first major Post-Crisis storyline for the character, building off of his new origin in The Legend Of Aquaman as well as the death of his son in Pre-Crisis stories. It was written by Keith Giffen and Robert Loren Fleming, and illustrated by Giffen, Curt Swan, Tom McCraw, John Costanza, and Al Vey.Aquaman returns to Atlantis to find it conquered by gigantic telepathic jellyfish, who plan to exterminate all Atlanteans and have used collaborators to conceal their true plans. Getting himself captured on purpose to learn their plans, he joins the local resistance and learns of what happened since he left; without him Atlantis elected a weak king who capitulated to the enemy and left the city in ruins. As Aquaman works to save Atlantis from within, the jellyfish aren't his only problem—Mera, his wife, has lost her mind in the time he's been gone, and she has designs on the husband she blames for their child's death...

Unstable Powered Woman: After her toddler son was killed by one of Aquaman's villains and she failed to save him, Mera's mental state grew more and more unstable until she hated Arthur for his part in her son's death. She's no less dangerous with her hard-water powers, as Aquaman learns.

Forgot About His Powers: Aquaman forgets he can communicate with sea life until the very last issue, where he uses a wide-range telepathic call to singlehandedly route the invaders and free the city.

Out-of-Genre Experience
 Aquaman (1989) (Comic Book) / int_74ee1c2d
comment
Out-of-Genre Experience: The story is much more like a war epic compared to typical Aquaman adventures, with Atlantis under occupation and a resistance working to save it.
