Indexer Notes
Mera gained the loyalty of the Xebellian army in Mera: Queen of Atlantis (DC, 2018 series) #6.
Atlantis storyline continues in Suicide Squad (DC, 2016 series) #45.
Aquaman and the rest of the Justice League donned Tenth Metal armor to stop the forces of the Dark Multiverse in Dark Nights: Metal (DC, 2017 series) #6. It has been shown that the armor can grant the wearer their secret wish, although not as expected. In this case, it is revealed that Aquaman wished for a place for him that was of both land and sea, as a result, Atlantis rises to the surface.
