Mera is def one of my fave DC heroes. She's not ONLY a badass warrior who is now queen, she's sexy too!

If you haven't been keeping up with Aquaman, shit is not 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. Orm returns, but he's a bit different than before. He met a woman and her kid and became a family. However, it's not as simple as that. He has a duty to his Kingdom and so him and Mera return together as a team but what awaits them?

Good: Mera is pretty badass. This is a cool way to show her off, see her internal thoughts, and also display her powers in a cool way. I also thought the art was solid enough and the fights were pretty exciting.

Bad: The plotting was typical, even down to the "one on one to prove who is who" thing. I also thought the Orm twist could have been better, and more interesting to go the other direction.

This was a fun mini-series. You don't need to read aquaman to enjoy this. It won't blow you away but it's a enjoyable read with a great main lead. A 3 out of 5.
