Mera Reading Order
This reading order is designed to give an outline of major storylines featuring Mera throughout DC Comics. It does not encompass every one of her appearances, but is an outline of the major ones and the stories that affect them.
The continuity details relating to each specific storyline are explained in the “Review” of each storyline. Every “Review” link will provide a detailed continuity breakdown of that story and will explain any reference the story makes to other aspects of the DC Universe. All of this can be found under the “Continuity” section of each link.
New 52
With the beginning of the New 52, the DC Universe’s continuity was reset. Mera’s history was wiped clean and all of her prior appearances were removed from the current continuity. The majority of the aspects of her pre-New 52 character that definitively remained were the retcons that took place through the Brightest Day series.
Mera was then reintroduced through the Aquaman series, where she typically played either a main or supporting role. Her appearances in the New 52 were also mostly in conjunction with appearances from Aquaman (Reading Order).
For a more in-depth breakdown of Mera’s appearances in this era, see ComicBookWire’s Mera New 52 Reading Order.
