First of all, in this issue, Circe brings Queen Hippolyta back to life. You can't Tie Your Mother Down. Like we knew that wasn't going to happen eventually. Then we start to learn a little more about Circe's machinations. She seems to be befriending the Amazon's, but I really think she wants them to go to war. Haven't figured out why yet. But she seems to be playing both sides against the middle. She even goes and talks to Diana in her prison cell. But as far as Diana goes, it's really Nemesis that breaks that whole thing open. All he knows it that his partner has disappeared, Wonder Woman has been taken in to custody, and nobody will tell him where she's at or what they're doing to her. So he decides that something is definitely not kosher. So he poses as Sarge Steel and goes in and breaks her out. Meanwhile, Circe has informed the newly resurrected Queen that the US Govt. has taken her daughter captive and are doing unknown things to her. Well to the Queen that's as good as a declaration of war. So while Wonder Woman's been getting out, the Queen has been laying waste to the capital. When she and Nemesis emerge from their captivity, they find the city destroyed, and her mother sitting in what looks like the chair from the Lincoln Memorial. Obviously this book leads directly in to the Amazon's Attack storyline. But like I said, I still don't understand what is Circe's purpose behind all of this. But I'm sure it'll be coming fast and hard in the Amazon's Attack mini-series. Fantastic book by Jodi Picoult and Terry Dodson. And as much as I liked Drew Johnson, I am so glad to see Terry back on board. Fantastic stuff.
