Mera: Queen of Atlantis #[nn]

In "A Queen in Exile," Mera, recovering from injury and facing a deadly assault by the Eel in Amnesty Bay, draws on her forgotten martial arts roots from her Xebel childhood to survive. With her powers diminished and suspicion rising that Corum Rath is behind the attack, she urges the Justice League and the U.S. government to stay out of the escalating struggle in Atlantis, where Aquaman fights alongside rebels to unseat Rath and restore her as queen. Meanwhile, Ocean Master has quietly built a new life on the surface, far from the throne and the war.

In "The King and the Queen," Mera faces a tense reckoning when Ocean Master returns to Atlantis, declaring his intent to reclaim the throne. With Orm confronted by Mera’s new role as queen, the fragile peace between them begins to unravel.

In "The Enemy of My Enemy," Mera finds herself at odds with Orm, but when Erin and Tommy arrive to mediate, a fragile truce forms. With Atlantis facing unknown threats, Erin proposes an unlikely alliance—only for Orm to suggest a figure whose name sends a chill through Mera.

In "Blood Lore," Mera finds herself caught between shifting alliances as Leron warns her of Nereus’s true intentions, even as Nereus strikes a tense bargain with Orm. The agreement to enlist the Xebellians comes with a condition that unsettles the fragile peace, forcing Mera to question who she can trust in the deep.
