The fight at the Amnesty Bay lighthouse turns tragic as Black Lantern Tula tears Tempest's heart out and kills him. Mera tries to go in his aid, only to see a Black Ring descend and make Garth rise; the energies at work are so immense, that the lighthouse explodes and Mera is thrown away.
The force of the explosion is such that Mera lands on the other side of the bay, and with horror watches her whole family turned into Black Lanterns: Arthur, Garth, Tula, and Dolphin. Aquaman tells Mera that if she joins them, their son, little Arthur Jr will be with them too to make their family whole. 
Mera realizes the madness of it all, and understands that trying to fight four Black Lanterns by herself would be futile, so the Queen decides to escape in the fog, while her husband screams her name in the dark.
Comment: Mera kicks ass #3. The fight in the Lighouthouse reminds me of "Darkness Falls"; that landing on top of the car is like watching "The Matrix", and Aquaman screaming as Mera leaves is like the scariest horror film ever. Mera has survided an encounter with four Black Lanterns, out of pure force of will. What will her next move be? Thank you Geoff Johns and Ivan Reis for giving us this great story!
