This was solid， though honestly more or less a story that I （and probably you） have read before。 The art is solid， Mera in particular looks great on every page。 The writing is also solid， just nothing to write home about。 The story feels like it’s on the verge of being something really good， but stays on the same plateau。 Reminiscent of any story taking place in a fictional monarchy， it’s royal families arguing over bloodlines， which ultimately ends in a last ditch effort/loophole trial-by-comba This was solid， though honestly more or less a story that I （and probably you） have read before。 The art is solid， Mera in particular looks great on every page。 The writing is also solid， just nothing to write home about。 The story feels like it’s on the verge of being something really good， but stays on the same plateau。 Reminiscent of any story taking place in a fictional monarchy， it’s royal families arguing over bloodlines， which ultimately ends in a last ditch effort/loophole trial-by-combat。Though Abnett’s writing is solid， and the characters are interesting， it just doesn’t have that something extra to make it really stand out。 Mera is a character I’m interested in and would love to see more of。 If you agree with that， it might be worth checking out。 。。。more

I especially loved the interaction between Mera and Orm XD Orm: “Racial/classist insult hahaha it’s just my funny sense of humor” Mera: “Right。。。 We’re going to have to fight a grudge match later， I can just tell” XD

Really fun and interesting side-story with a great character。 I love Mera and her background and hope she gets another solo series in the future！ The dynamic between her and Orm is great in this。

It felt like a back up story instead of a mini series。 It just didn’t have emotion or weight behind it。

This book is definitely good， and it's easy enough to pick up the story， being but it does feel like it was meant to fit into the larger comic story。 The art though。。。😍。 Also， Mera has some Very sexy Queen moments。 This book is definitely good， and it's easy enough to pick up the story， being but it does feel like it was meant to fit into the larger comic story。 The art though。。。😍。 Also， Mera has some Very sexy Queen moments。 。。。more

3。5 but I’m rounding it up because I love Mera。 Mera is probably the only reason I read Aquaman， she is such an interesting character to read about and so badass。 When I heard she was finally getting a solo I thought to myself it’s about damn time。 This book ties into the main Aquaman series with the whole Atlantean civil war， this is a side story to that focusing on Mera and Orm which might be my biggest complaint。 The title of this book says Mera and a lot of it does focus on her but a lot of 3。5 but I’m rounding it up because I love Mera。 Mera is probably the only reason I read Aquaman， she is such an interesting character to read about and so badass。 When I heard she was finally getting a solo I thought to myself it’s about damn time。 This book ties into the main Aquaman series with the whole Atlantean civil war， this is a side story to that focusing on Mera and Orm which might be my biggest complaint。 The title of this book says Mera and a lot of it does focus on her but a lot of the times I was reading this it felt like an Orm book。 Not that there is anything wrong with Orm， he’s a really interesting character， one who probably deserves his own miniseries at some point。 But when a character like Mera who is rarely given a leading role is given a solo， I expect it to be about mainly about her。 Regardless I still enjoyed it， I love Mera as a character and this book reminded me why I love her so much。 。。。more

It’s hard to put my finger on why I am enjoying these stories so much， but I can’t seem to put the Aquaman series down！ It’s been fantastic seeing Mira develop into such a strong leader。

I quite enjoyed this！ Didn't realize I should have read up to 30 in Aquaman first so I will have to go back at some point and read those as well。 Love Mera， happy she got her own title here， wish there was more from her。 This comic series was almost as heavy on Orm as it was Mera so while I thoroughly enjoyed it， I wanted a little more from it。 I quite enjoyed this！ Didn't realize I should have read up to 30 in Aquaman first so I will have to go back at some point and read those as well。 Love Mera， happy she got her own title here， wish there was more from her。 This comic series was almost as heavy on Orm as it was Mera so while I thoroughly enjoyed it， I wanted a little more from it。 。。。more

Great job by Dan Abnett showing us the resilience of Mera and another side of Orm， The Ocean Master。 The plot was better than I expected。 I also liked the very clear art style。

One of the best Mera-driven stories in DC Comics， this series does an amazing job of exploring the life， history and power of one of DC Comics most underrated heroes， Mera， Queen of Atlantis。 Her blend of strength and resolve for her people and her limitless love for Arthur make her such a well rounded character and hero， and her journey to reclaim her power and her throne are amazing to see unfold。 Even more， the complex nature of Ocean Master， aka Orm， and his interactions not only with Mera b One of the best Mera-driven stories in DC Comics， this series does an amazing job of exploring the life， history and power of one of DC Comics most underrated heroes， Mera， Queen of Atlantis。 Her blend of strength and resolve for her people and her limitless love for Arthur make her such a well rounded character and hero， and her journey to reclaim her power and her throne are amazing to see unfold。 Even more， the complex nature of Ocean Master， aka Orm， and his interactions not only with Mera but the family he began to make on the surface world are great to see unfold， making for some amazing character development。 A fantastic new chapter in the Atlantis history of DC Comics。 。。。more

A Orm story as much as a Mera story and honestly Orm's struggle to choose responsibility or love was the best part of the book 。 The art was good， the action was decent ， didn't enjoy that whole xebel arc besides the action and in the end I just felt sorry for Orm 。 Also Mera was more badass in justice League and back when she led the atlantean army to a war against US in a bid to release Aquaman 。 This just made her a generic superhero 。 Still ， it's a decent issue ， could have been better thou A Orm story as much as a Mera story and honestly Orm's struggle to choose responsibility or love was the best part of the book 。 The art was good， the action was decent ， didn't enjoy that whole xebel arc besides the action and in the end I just felt sorry for Orm 。 Also Mera was more badass in justice League and back when she led the atlantean army to a war against US in a bid to release Aquaman 。 This just made her a generic superhero 。 Still ， it's a decent issue ， could have been better though 。。。more

I really wanted to see Mera come into her own here but it's just a plot point moved from A to Z。 Orm is totally out of character with this single landlock bitch WITH A KID？ Why would he want that at all？ No tension。 Dumb idea。 Still some cool single splash pages throughout。 I really wanted to see Mera come into her own here but it's just a plot point moved from A to Z。 Orm is totally out of character with this single landlock bitch WITH A KID？ Why would he want that at all？ No tension。 Dumb idea。 Still some cool single splash pages throughout。 。。。more

It was nice to see Mera in her own book， and I never get tired of Atlantean political intrigue which this book was chock full of from beginning to end。

That was a hell of a comic！ I enjoyed the quality。 The comic's ability to standalone from the Aquaman story line is unique in that I think most readers could catch on and still enjoy this ride。 You have to stay for all six volumes。 The art is solid。 If it left anything to be desired I'd say it would be more fluid movement。 Even then， that's just a bone I feel I had to pick。 Can't just say it's solid and leave it at that， right？Mera: Queen of Atlantis feels more natural as a story when lined up That was a hell of a comic！ I enjoyed the quality。 The comic's ability to standalone from the Aquaman story line is unique in that I think most readers could catch on and still enjoy this ride。 You have to stay for all six volumes。 The art is solid。 If it left anything to be desired I'd say it would be more fluid movement。 Even then， that's just a bone I feel I had to pick。 Can't just say it's solid and leave it at that， right？Mera: Queen of Atlantis feels more natural as a story when lined up with the rest of Rebirth。 I've not been keeping up。 You don't need to。 It's a tight comic fit for royalty。 The queen rises。。。Hopefully to more volumes！ 。。。more

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 I thought this book was the most badass girl power novel I've ever read。 Mera is a force to be reckoned with， even when she is injured。 This book inspired me as a woman to take charge in my own life， and never be anyone else's pawn。 Fighting for her right as queen of Atlantis was breathtaking to see。 Mera might be separated from Arthur due to her weakened state， but she still uses every air breath to keep the peace and honor her station。 Unlike Orm or Nereus， she has learned to utilize both。 If I thought this book was the most badass girl power novel I've ever read。 Mera is a force to be reckoned with， even when she is injured。 This book inspired me as a woman to take charge in my own life， and never be anyone else's pawn。 Fighting for her right as queen of Atlantis was breathtaking to see。 Mera might be separated from Arthur due to her weakened state， but she still uses every air breath to keep the peace and honor her station。 Unlike Orm or Nereus， she has learned to utilize both。 If this book has taught me anything， it's that men will most often be pigs。 For Orm， he could only see the world as a power-hungry king。 He never realized that a true king does not keep the throne for his own sake， but for the kingdom's。 Which is， again， why Mera is the most perfect person on the planet。 I'm also extremely angry with Orm for choosing himself over Erin and Tommy， not to mention sacrificing his own sister， Tula， in the process。 Erin and Tommy deserve better。 Not only that， but Orm could have been happy。 He didn't have to run straight back into the arms of power as soon as he felt like it。 For Nereus， women are seen as inferior to men。 （Simply not true， for example: Mera。） Nereus will never see Mera as a strong leader because he has all these ancient， traditional Xebellian hang-ups that are 100% ridiculous。 He even used the help of Lady Lammia to try to cheat Mera in the combat trial。 Total hypocrite！ Though， I do not forgive Mera's grandmother for her nefarious doings。 The only Xebellian that Mera could trust was Leron， oddly enough。 But as I began to learn more about their relationship， it became clear to me that he is a mentor that only wishes to see his pupil excel。 And excel she did。 Quite the show she put on in the trial。 Ordering Orm to bow before her as queen was absolutely amazing。 She commands the very water he breathes， but also the air I breath because my own breath was taken away。 I recommend this book to women tired of not being in control of their own life。 。。。more

While this is a separate mini-series， it ties directly into the ongoing plot arc then running in Aquaman and makes no sense without it。 The plot focuses around Mera trying to find a way to help Arthur and， in that sense， is a side-story to the main plot about the Atlantean civil war。 What helps is that， although there are a number of fights along the way， the story focuses more on the Atlantean/Xebelian culture， and how it enforces duty on those who don't necessarily want the burdens that go alo While this is a separate mini-series， it ties directly into the ongoing plot arc then running in Aquaman and makes no sense without it。 The plot focuses around Mera trying to find a way to help Arthur and， in that sense， is a side-story to the main plot about the Atlantean civil war。 What helps is that， although there are a number of fights along the way， the story focuses more on the Atlantean/Xebelian culture， and how it enforces duty on those who don't necessarily want the burdens that go along with it。 Perhaps the strongest element is how the story uses Ocean Master， making him a more complex character than before， while remaining true to his roots。 The story is not without its flaws; some of the fights are shoe-horned in solely to break up the dialogue， and， while the story is really about Mera and what lengths she'll go to， the fact remains that it's at least as much Aquaman who's driving the plot （even though he's not in it， except in flashback）。 But this is a nice diversion from the central part of the story， and Mera gets to shine。 。。。more

There were a couple inexplicable plot holes in the narrative。 The artwork was consistent and outstanding， and the colors were vibrant which made it so much fun to read。 I read this mainly to understand Mera better as a character， and it did focus on her role （as opposed to Aquaman or Ocean Master） in a clearly feminist storyline。

Maybe if I were more familiar with some of the characters， they would have seemed a little less flat & flimsy。 But I'm not， so they didn't。 Mera is badass， but she's rather surrounded by jerks who seem to be jerks just for the sake of being jerks， even when it's against their own self-interest。 Maybe if I were more familiar with some of the characters， they would have seemed a little less flat & flimsy。 But I'm not， so they didn't。 Mera is badass， but she's rather surrounded by jerks who seem to be jerks just for the sake of being jerks， even when it's against their own self-interest。 。。。more

I couldn't finish it。The only reason I stuck with it just because the art is AMAZING。but really， the only character trait Mera had was how much she misses Arthur。 I couldn't finish it。The only reason I stuck with it just because the art is AMAZING。but really， the only character trait Mera had was how much she misses Arthur。 。。。more
