Issue Description
Aquaman faces the unexpected return of his greatest foe, Black Manta! The King of the Seas is faced with the ultimate choice: to save the villain who killed his only son, or let him die?
Black Manta's childhood is revealed. He was once an autistic child, which doctors could not diagnose as autistic, whose only pleasure was felt when he was in cold water. Meanwhile, Arthur battles it out with Thirst, who drinks another finger from Arthur's hand. Thirst travels to Valhalla, where he drinks the Regal Spirit of Rhinne. Black Manta, who obviously is suffering again from autism, battles against Arthur and Tempest. Arthur gets Manta out of his ship and uses his hand to heal his autism.

Volume Description
Aquaman (Volume 4)
Starring: Arthur Curry as Aquaman, Tempest, and Lorena Marquez as Aquagirl (II).
In the aftermath of the JLA arc The Obsidian Age, Aquaman is hated by his former subjects and exiled from the life-giving ocean he once called home. But that doesn't mean his quest to protect the oceans of the world at any cost is over any time soon!This volume is very interesting. The Lady of the Lake is a central character for the first 12 issues. Other new characters are the sorcerer Hagen, Man-of-War, Sweeney and Mccaferety. Aquaman goes back to spending time at a Lighthouse. The Thirst is introduced as a villain in issue 5 and is known as the dark side to the Water Bearer. Issues 13 and 14 are stand alone issues. Both are very good, but issue 14 is awe inspiring and stands along with Aquaman 13 of the 2nd series as one of the very best Aquaman stories of all time. Issue 15 brings a new writer, Will Pfeifer and a new Storyline, SubDiego. The end of this run sees Atlantis destroyed by the Spectre (with an Infinite Crisis tie in). Mera is back in Aquaman's life, just as he is developing a relationship with a surface woman. Lorena Marquez becomes the new Aquagirl around issue 20 and Koryak is no longer exiled from Atlantis.
