Mera Joins The Justice League
One thing that Rebirth has failed to do is give us a good Justice League run. Sadly, the title has been incredibly mediocre from the start, but there are signs that it might be on the up now. The first of these is Mera joining the League in Justice League #24.
As Aquaman deals with the fallout of him being dethroned as the King of Atlantis, Mera encounters (and bests) the Justice League in combat. Realizing her awe-inspiring power, the senior members quickly move to add her to their ranks, rather than have her as an adversary and kicking their butts.
Incorporating a popular character like Mera into the League is a good move in the long run. Not only are there new Green Lanterns on the team, but there’s also a new Atlantean. This should freshen up the group and hopefully inspire better storytelling in the issues to come.
