- Audience-Alienating Era: In conjunction with The Legend of Aquaman giving Aquaman a completely new backstory where he was raised by dolphins, this miniseries, by the same author, involves giant jellyfish who have taken over the kingdom of Atlantis and Arthur comes back to free it—which would be standard if not for the treatment of Mera, who was left in an asylum after the death of Aquababy and lost her mind, even going so far as to try to kill Aquaman upon seeing him because she still blames him for their kid's death, and she was originally meant to die fighting him until the editor convinced Giffen to spare her. The Conflict Ball and generic plot made the comic rather controversial.
