I admit, I don't know a whole lot about this character but this is a huge deal. I'm definitely picking this up. I can't wait to read it.
Save Ferris...
These are GREAT news. Mera deserves this kind of recognition and Abnett is a competent writer that has given her a pretty solid portrayal. Buying this miniseries and praying that it becomes an ongoing.
Nicola Scott draws a beautiful Mera that I had to change my avatar.
Abnett is a great writer and I'm curious to see what this looks like. Having said that (and congrats to Mera fans), it's annoying that a character like Mera gets a solo book over some other characters who are past due for a title of their own (John Stewart, Wally, Shazam, etc.)

“There's no point in being grown up if you can't be childish sometimes.”--The Doctor
This is huge,,,long long overdue, Abnett’s Aquaman has been fantastic so I have no doubts he’ll deliver here.
The best female character in superhero dom is here!
Couldn't have happened to a more deserving character!
Let's just hope it sells so well that DC decides to make it an ongoing! I think Mera could be on her way to superstardom thanks to the movies. Just like Diana in BvS, the biggest possible audience is about to get a little taste of her in about a week, and then it's on to a larger role for her the next year. I think the audience is going to absolutely fall in love with Mera and her relationship with Arthur.
Now is the time to push this lady, DC!
Though much is taken, much abides; and though
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are,
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
--Lord Alfred Tennyson--
I`m not even kidding, I`m watching JL for Aquaman and Mera, mostly. She`s been growing a character and status immensily since the 2011 reboot.
And to see if bats drops Jason`s name somewhere.
Well, Mera is awesome, creative team is awesome, cover artists are awesome, so yeah, gonna buy it for sure. What a great news! Go redheads!
I'm excited for this. Mera is a great character and I like the way she is being written currently. I'm also glad to hear that Orm is coming back. I hope all characters are written at their best.
We are the Dora Milaje. We are the daughters of the 18 tribes of Wakanda. We are the teeth of the Panther God. Out of 10,000 years of sweat and bloodshed and battle are we born. We are the women of this ancient land. Deadliest of the species. And our time has come!
