We have a couple of revelations this issue. First . . Mari comes to the understanding, and belief, that she's connected to the Totem whether she's in contact with it or not. It's something that's inherent in her because of where she was born and her heritage. She now feels like a true Justice Leaguer. Not a fake who wasn't born with her powers but rather gets them through the possession of a magical Totem. She now realizes that the Totem helps her focus her powers, but the powers themselves . . . are her own. The other revelation . . . isn't as good. It appears that Kwesi isn't as powerful as he pretends. He's actually being helped out quite a bit by, I would guess, Intergang. And the reason is, Intergang wants to take advantage of his knowledge of Vodun poisons and potions. They've made a special one for their ultimate target . . Superman. Last issue when the League was attacked and Superman and Dinah were taken out by poison darts . . . that was their intention. They've gotten Superman with a special Zombie poison. "They can make a healthy man appear like one of the living dead, and be commanded like a sleepwalker." Now that Mari has figured this out, it's up to her to come up with the antidote and get it back to her friends in time. Hopefully she makes it because Whisper A'Daire has just ordered Superman and Dinah to kill Batman, Black Lightning and Red Arrow. This G Willow Wilson seems to be weaving a rather neat little tale here. I like what he's done so far. I really like this Cafu's art. It's got a different type of feel to it, but . . it works perfectly with this book. This one's turning out to be even better than I expected.
