Wonder Girl #4 - DC


I'm not particularly fond of the art in this series, but I am enjoying the story. Sanford Greene is the artist, and J Torres does the scripts. The long and short of it is, Granny Goodness is trying to beef up her forces because of these attacks on the Fourth World. So she's sent her Furies to recruit Cassandra to her team. Well, you can see by the cover, how that's going. So, to try to soften her up a bit they've kidnapped her mother and brother, and have subjugated Hercules to their will. Actually, the vampirish one has taken control of him. So she takes the direct approach and attacks them. Well, of course, she's quickly overwhelmed by sheer numbers. But, once down, the Furies don't want to stick around because they're getting an odd feeling. A feeling of danger. Plus, they know that the god-killer is lurking around out there somewhere. But Cassandra gets some aid in the unexpected form of the Olympian. You know. The guy from the Global Guardians. After she recuperates, from her stomping, he offers her his assistance. She formulates a plan and again returns to free her mother, brother and Hercules. But this time she's brought help. And not just the Olympian. She's also brought some of her teammates . . the Teen Titans. I think the whole purpose of this mini is to get Cassandra back to full power . . which she seems to be at when she's in a rage and thundering it down upon the Furies. Also, I think this is going to get her back on the team with the Titans. But there's still 2 issues to go, so anything could happen. In the meantime, like I said, I'm really enjoying this story.
