Aquaman #19
Synopsis
Mera finds life as Queen of Atlantis increasingly more lonely, as Aquaman is constantly away patrolling the seven seas. Aqualad stays behind to keep her company, however, the boy's impetuousness proves to be too trying for Mera to handle, without Aquaman. As her displeasure grows, she begins acting out against her Atlantean subjects. While Aquaman is away, a strange fish arrives in Atlantis, carrying Mera's old hand mirror, left behind in Dimension Aqua. Once the mirror is imparted to Mera, the image of Dimension Aqua's greatest scientist, Xeron, appears within the looking glass. He has repaired, to some degree, the gateway device for transit between Dimension Aqua and Aquaman's world. Professor Xeron can send people, or things, from Dimension Aqua to Mera, though he cannot, as yet, bring them back again. Mera immediately sends for her old "pet", a horrific sea creature she calls "Choggar". Mera is overjoyed to see the beast, climbing aboard it's back to ride it around Atlantis. The Atlanteans, however, are not as fond of the path of destruction the creature leaves in it's wake. Soon, a group of Mera's old friends cross over from Dimension Aqua, to take up residence in Atlantis. They quickly wear out their welcome with their rambunctious behavior and disrespectful ways. As the Atlantean's umbrage towards Mera's friends increases, so too does their contempt for the new Queen. Meanwhile, on the surface, a man known as T.T. Taggert is making plans to add Aquaman, and the Atlanteans, to his "Aquacade", a water themed amusement park. To that end, he has allied himself with Nikkor, one of Mera's friends. Taggert will make sure Aquaman never returns to Atlantis, if Nikkor will deliver the Atlanteans to Taggert's "Aquacade". Nikkor orders his companions, from Dimension Aqua, to round up the Atlanteans, for transport to the surface. Aqualad bears witness to the capture of the Atlanteans, and immediately swims off in search of Aquaman.Aqualad finds Aquaman freeing Kraka, a giant...
