This issue, Wonder Woman faces off against a couple of threats in our nation's capital. But . . it seems like most of these occurrences have been manipulated by this band of young boys that we see on the cover here. They don't really have a name, other than Scorpion, Adder, Goat, Spider, and . . I don't know what the fifth one's name is. They kind of remind me of the Cuckoo's from the X-Men. Except, you know . . evil! They seem to have some sort of psychic sway over the people they talk to . . something that convinces them to believe what they're saying. Oh wait . . you know what? It just occur ed to me . . I bet these are the children of Ares that we saw being born last issue on Themiscyra. At the time they aged rapidly, so . . they might be about this age by now. And they do seem to be sowing the seeds of discord among the eclectic potpourri of people that reside in Washington DC. Basically, they seem to be turning everyone against everyone. Including Power Girl. During a fire at a Synagogue, Karen shows up to offer her help. At the meantime, Diana has gone to the hospital to check up on Etta. She still feels guilty for her taking that beating from Genocide. But, come to find out . . Etta has actually been deputized by Checkmate to help them keep an eye on the DMA. She said that with people like Steve and Diana constantly around her, she was starting to feel inadequate. And once she got in the field, she found out that she enjoyed it . . immensely. Anyways, this held Diana up, but by the time she gets to the scene it appears that the 'boys' have turned Karen against Diana. 'They said you'd lie. You always were good with speeches. Never thought you'd sink this low, Amazon. I'm taking you down.' Which leads us to the final page where Diana decides that she's had enough of this and she's ready to go toe-to-toe with Power Girl. I absolutely love what Gail Simone and Aaron Lopresti have done with this book. Yeah, they've put Diana through a lot, but . . I think she's come out the other side stronger than ever. Gail writes some fantastic stories, with brilliant character development. While Aaron continues to improve with his already beautiful art. I liked him way back when he was doing Ultraverse comics. Sludge . . I think it was. But he's even better now. This is a great book with some fantastic characters. You definitely should be reading it . . if you're not.
