Mera: Queen of Atlantis #5 cover by Nicola Scott and Romulo Fajardo Jr.
The raise the stakes, put more people in opposition against one another, and put our protagonist into a position where she must make some tough choices.

Her and Clark's son, Jonathan Kent, follows not far behind. Superman: Action Comics #997 cover by Brett Booth, Norm Rapmund, and Andrew Dalhouse Action Comics' "Booster Shot" spins ever closer to #1000 with a disheartening insistence on padding and plot tangents This arc is decompressed beyond reason, and I say that as a guy who enjoys the[...]
