Ok . . a couple of things happen here that have me asking some big questions. First of all . . in Blackest Night #6 we see Diana and Mera getting ready to square off. That fight takes place here. Obviously, we knew that Diana would kick her butt, but . . I think Mera actually put up one hell of a fight. Of course, Diana's heart wasn't really in it. We see, as she's fighting, that she's also fighting the Black Ring's influence. She doesn't want to do the things that the ring is forcing her to do, but I think it's like a dream where she's watching herself do them . . unable to control her own actions. She stops herself before killing Mera, but then when she's confronted by Donna, whom is already a Black Lantern, and Cassie . . she ends up killing them both. And then her next opponent is . . Hippolyta. And she's about to kill her also. It isn't until Bruce shows up and distracts her, that she's overwhelmed with a feeling of love. Which is strong enough for her to fight the rings influence. Then, as we saw in Blackest Night #6, the Star Sapphire ring comes to her for acceptance. However, what we didn't see in Blackest Night is that the ring is also accompanied by . . Aphrodite . . Goddess of Love. At first Diana can't accept the ring because of the things she's been forced to do . . she feels to guilty. That is until Aphrodite tells her that she's done nothing . .'Nothing. They, like this place, only a figment. A place I made where your possession could run free and without harm . . to save you from yourself. I would not see you destroyed by this evil, Diana.' That's a good thing. So Donna and Cassie are ok. But . . that also means that Batman didn't really show up. I first I thought this was the spot where he made his reappearance. But, Diana does have to admit now that she definitely has feelings for him. The issue ends with Diana flying off . . now a Wonder Woman and a Star Sapphire. She's definitely going to be a power to be reckoned with. Greg Rucka did a fantastic job with this story. I liked the way that the action started out in Blackest Night #6, but then we got to watch it unfold in it's entirety this issue. Also, Nicola Scott did a fantastic job with the art. Covers were by Greg Horn and Ryan Sook. I can't wait to see what happens next month. It should be a hell of an issue.
