Atlantis is being invaded by the same aliens that are attacking all of Earth. As the floodgates rise in Atlantis, Atlanteans are transformed into water zombie creatures from the lagoon. Mera is the only one protecting the city. Can She withstand the poisonous invading alien waters?

This issue is the direct follow up to the Aquaman Drowned Earth crossover begun in Justice League #10. It’s a very good story that again showcases Mera and show her as the rightful defender and queen of Atlantis. I enjoyed how she had to choose to save the world as a Justice Leaguer or save her own people as their queen. In some sense, even though Aquaman is now free to play Justice Leaguer fulltime, Mera is also caught with the same challenges about whether to devote her energy to Atlantis or the world above. The more things change, the more they say the same!
