Wonder Girl #6 - DC


Well this one wraps up the series. J Torres and Sanford Greene have brought us an interesting little glimpse in to the life of Cassandra Sandsmark. She been coming to the forefront more and more lately, in Teen Titans and occasionally in Wonder Woman. So it's about time we got to see a little story with her as the lead. And, she got to meet her brother . . Hercules. He informs her, and Wonder Woman, that when his father, Zeus, released him that it came with a price. The blood of his mother, a human, now runs through his veins again. So he's only at half the power he used to be. And he's been charged with gathering Zeus' children, his champions, and anyone else he could get, to prepare . . . for the great disaster. Unfortunately he made a bad choice when he chose to conspire with the Female Furies. He made a bad decision when he thought that he could control them. Later, when Cassie goes home to clean up a bit, she finds out that the Global Guardian, Olympian, is moving in to her apartment building. His name is Aristedes Demetrios, or Aris for short. Then her and Wonder Woman go out to have a little one on one time. She expects to get chastised by her, but actually, Wonder Woman wants to inform her that she's very proud of her. And that she realizes that Cassie is not a child anymore. She's her own woman. Which completely catches Cassie off guard. So now, all that self-doubt has been lifted from Cassie's shoulders. Maybe now she can really be the hero she was meant to be.
