felt like a long time coming for mera and considering some of the things i was going through around that time, this even being announced brought light to me mera is a strong woman but this shows the loss of her powers although she is weak physically, mentally she is as strong as ever again, something i reall i read this series issue by issue as everyone knows, mera and aquaman are my absolute

to see Mera was getting her own miniseries She is maybe an even better character than Aquaman Unfortunately, this is almost an Ocean Master storythan a Mera story Abnett quickly reverts Orm to a one note, haughty royalty type character missing all the nuance of Geoff John s Throne of Atlantis story There Orm truly cares for Atlantis and thinks he s doing what s best for his people Here he quickly turns into a dick who think he s the only one that can rule Atlantis I was very excited to see Mera was getting her own miniseries She is maybe an even better character than Aquaman Unfortunately,

Note Make sure to read this after Aquaman, Vol 5 The Crown Comes Down and before Aquaman, Volume 6 KingslayerMera has become one of my favorite heroines in comics and so I was excited to see her get a miniseries spinoff from the main Aquaman title And it seems like a great time for it too , now that Arthur is leading a rebellion against the usurper king Corum Rath and Mera is trying to heal after being injured in a battle to save Arthur...Pretty much the same issues I had with Abnett s Aquaman series.World The art is okay, it s solid, it s not gorgeous but it s definitely not ugly, it s just okay The world building here is solid, it s the continuation of Mera s story from the current Abnett Aquaman run which is good, the stuff before Arthur lost his crown was terrible The story plays out from Mera s point of view and the pieces of the world we see are all about her so I like that about this arc Story The story is okay I w Pretty much the same issues I had with Abnett s Aquaman

going well for the king He was forced out of being the king and now is building an army to rise against the tyrant Mera is being titled queen but first she must visit her people to get their approval

last thing Mera wants is to be confined to land But a Queen in absentia is still a Queen, and she isn t about to let Atlantis fall just because she can t rule it, and she s prepared to seek aid for

Atlantis In the movie, Mera is a powerful ally to Aquaman, so I was looking forward to reading about her adventures in this book Unfortunately, it seems that this isn t really a Mera book, but rather an Ocean Master book For most of this book, Mera is depowered, so she doesn t really play an active role until the very end Also, characters seem to switch personalities and motivation quite suddenly
