This particular issue of this mini was actually just as tied in to the Amazons Attack! storyline as is was to the Outsiders storyline. We learned in the Amazons Attack! book that Grace actually has some Amazon heritage. She comes from the offshoot of Wonder Woman's line called the Bana. With all the deception and subterfuge that took place in the Amazons mini, it was hard to tell if that piece of information was actually truthful. But, with the events in this book, any doubt has been laid to rest. Grace now has a family and culture. Whether she accepts it or not . . . we'll have to wait and see. Anyways, we get a little of the history of the Bana. And with the bomb that they left behind . . . and Grace's handling of it, with the help of her Bana DNA . . . we find out that the discovery of her origins are actually true. It was a nice little mission that her and Wonder Woman went on. They both come from the same heritage, but that doesn't necessarily mean that they see the world the same way. After all, Grace actually grew up in it. Which begs the question . . why? But that's going to have to be a mystery for another time. This one was basically about her reaction to the knowledge, and, I think, Wonder Woman checking to see if she was going to be ok and come to grips with it. But apparently she passed both her and Batman's test because afterwards she's taken to a secret place to meet up with the rest of her new teammates. So far they include Katana, Metamorpho and Jonn Jonzz. To which she's not very happy that Thunder isn't included. The next chapter of the story will unfold in Outsiders #50, and then on to the new title . . . Batman and the Outsiders. From the sounds of what they're trying to do here . . it looks like it should be pretty interesting. I really can't wait.
