I like this story. It's just that there's so much going on in the DC universe right now, that this particular story is connected to a lot of things. Which is fine. In and of itself. But, some of those connections, or explanations, seem weak . . at best. Ok, first of all, we know that the Furies are on Themyscira posing as Amazons. So apparently they're taking a break to come here and gather up Cassie? The Titans have come to aid Wonder Girl, but they've added Arrowette and Empress back in to the mix. Plus they've picked up the Global Guardian . . Olympian. Actually, it's kind of an all female squad, except for Robin. Supergirl is with them too. Now the Furies make mention that they want to take Cassie back to the island. But we don't really know what for. But the real shock comes at the end when, apparently, the god-killer has been watched the proceedings, and has decided to start taking shots at the Furies. He takes down Mary, but, when everybody looks up to try and see where the shot came from . . . Wonder Woman is there ready to take him down. So does this mean that next issue, we're finally going to find out who it is that is systematically destroying the Fourth World? I don't think this is the actual god-killer, because I'm betting that we're going to find out his identity over in the Death of the New Gods mini. So who is taking shots, and why? Since next issue is the last . . . that'll be our best bet to find out. It's an interesting series, but I think J Torres is focusing more on the action than on the story-telling. And although Sanford Greene's pencils are ok . . . they just aren't my style. I bought this book mainly for it's connection to the Teen Titans.
