Comment(s):

Story takes place during DC K.O. #3 and continues in the next issue.
In this story it is revealed that Mera, Jackson Hyde and Garth first appearing in issue #7, who appeared to be older versions of their present-day selves, trapped in Atlatis within The Blue for decades, are in reality transformed Xebellians.
Solicitation does not match the story.

Solicitation:

As Arthur continues to duke it out in the major DC K.O. event, the hidden kingdom of Atlantis at last emerges! But all is not well, and Queen Mera finds herself face-to-face with the deadliest foe to attack their fair kingdom yet! New threats, new drama, a trip to the throne of Kahndaq, and the return of Black Manta!
