At the end of the last issue, the Female Furies showed up to confront Cassandra and Hercules. It looked like they were here for a battle, but it turns out they're looking for help. They're also concerned about the recent rash of omnipotent murders. It's not just the New Gods that are being killed. Really, it seems like someone has painted a target on all Fourth Worlds patronages. For some reason, they feel that they need Cassandra's and Hercules help. But mostly Cassandra. Actually they're already working with Hercules. Which is why he showed up in Cassandra's life in the first place. The Furies thought that if they enlisted someone in Cassandra's life to recruit her, they'd have a better chance than if they did so themselves. But, that plan doesn't really work out like they had hoped. They even give Hercules a second chance to show her the error of her ways. But, Cassandra isn't budging. She wants nothing to do with the problems of the New Gods, and even less to be associated with the Female Furies. So now . . they have to take the gloves off. At the end of this issue, it appears that Lashina has taken Cassie's mom captive and is going to use her to barter for her assistance. They really aren't giving her an option. I thought this was a decent story. I'm not a big fan of the artwork, but, most of the time, for me, that's secondary. Personally, I would put a higher value on the quality of story, than the quality of art. But that's just me.
