My big fear in having a Mera solo is that they will end up separating the two. With them hardly seeing each other. In fact, i'm almost positive that this is how it would play out. I think the best solution is that they just marry the two, not sure why they have been putting this off. That way they can have their own separate adventures, but still always come back home to each other.
Next, they need to start expanding the aqua family. Just a crime that Arthur and Garth have hardly interacted since the new 52. Before any members break out to their own solo, they need to reestabish their ties to Arthur.
Lastly, return him as king and keep him there. Can't tell you how annoyed i am, that yet again, i have to go through another story of him going to have to reclaim the throne. Really sets a bad precedence, that they can just make anyone be king or queen. Defeats one of the central themes of Aquaman.
I honestly don’t think I’d mind if Mera stayed Queen awhile longer. I’m still like them to get married but Arthur in his new King role ventures out more to the people of Atlantis. Let Mera deal with war plans and US/Atlantean relations while Arthur is out being the “First Husband.”
