She’s a young woman who’s stuck in a position that’s familiar to many fairy tale fans: A princess whose father thinks she’s so precious, she shouldn’t do anything to put herself in situations that might lead to her getting hurt (or killed and spending the rest of eternity swimming circles in the Xebellian religious version of the Good Place). In Mera: Tidebreaker, Danielle Paige and Stephen Byrne depict a teenage Mera who’s never even met Arthur Curry. I partially blame Jason Momoa and the inability of most people, myself included, to look away from him when he’s anywhere in eyesight.) And until I read Mera: Tidebreaker, the first in the new DC Ink line of Young Adult graphic novels, I didn’t really give much thought to her having a story all her own. Sure, I’ve heard of her-she’s Aquaman’s wife, she has great hair, she has some real superhero skills of her own-but I don’t know her.
From New York Times best-selling author Danielle Paige (Dorothy Must Die) and artist Stephen Byrne comes a Mera -and-Aquaman story that explores Mera''s first steps on land, and her first steps as a hero or villain, forcing her to choose to follow her heart or her mission to kill.Mera, Princess of Xebel, is a serious role model.īefore we get into why, I do need to be honest with you: I’m a Mera n00b. Will Arthur Curry be the king at Mera''s side, or will he die under her blade as she attempts to free her people from persecution? An astonishing story that explores duty, love, heroism, and freedom…all through the eyes of readers'' favorite undersea royalty. But her mission gets sidetracked when Mera and Arthur unexpectedly fall in love.
When the Xebellian military plots to overthrow Atlantis and break free of its oppressive regime, Mera seizes the opportunity to take control of her own destiny by assassinating Arthur Curry-the long-lost prince and heir to the kingdom of Atlantis. But Mera is destined to wear a different crown. Her father, his court, and the entire kingdom are expecting her to marry and introduce a new king. Princess Mera is teenage royalty and heir to the throne of Xebel, a colony ruled by the other no-so-lost land under the sea, Atlantis.
