In the previous comic Wonder Woman and Steve Trevor wind up working together to help save a group of women including Dr. Barbara Ann Minerva, aka Cheetah from Urkkartaga in the wilds of the jungle. Steve works for an organization and his boss, Commander Etta Candy is worried about her boss Sasha who has been acting strangely. Sasha takes something from one of their investigations to give it to the people she really works for and Etta follows her and finds out that Sasha is really a robot. Wonder Woman has been struggling with the different versions of the truth that are warring inside of her and finally arrives at the answer. The gods have been lying to her for the past seven years. She hasn't been going back to the island of Themyscira where she was born. When she set out on her mission she was told that she would never be able to return, but she believed that she was able to. She has lost her faith.
Dr. Minerva clues in Etta and Steve on Godwatch who are behind everything including making Minerva Cheetah. There's Dr. Veronica Cale who is behind it all because two gods Phobos and Deimos stole her daughter's face away seven years ago. They want to go to Themyscira and the only way to get there is through Diana. They will give her her daughter's face back if she does this. So her and her business partner Dr. Adrianna Anderson built Cyberwalk, a creation that allows the wearer to get close to someone and pick up memories and thoughts from someone it touches. The suit killed Anderson, but Cale brought her back to life as Doctor Cyber, an all-knowing computer AI system. Then there's the muscle: Poison and Colonel Maru's mercenary team.
Steve and Etta go to break Diana out of the mental hospital while Minerva goes to try to talk some sense to Cale. While Minerva is there she agrees to become the Cheetah again. Diana decides its time to stop hiding out and return to Themylscira for real this time and fight the evil that is threatening it and try to save Barbara Ann. Also included in this book is a Christmas comic with Wonder Woman and Batman that is decidedly too short though the artwork is really good. There is a lot of information crammed in this comic, but it is not hard to follow at all even though it hops around in time a great deal. It's hard to feel sorry for Dr. Cale when she's portrayed as a bit of a bitch before the gods come in and destroy her life. But Dr. Anderson is a really nice person and a great character who gets warped when she is turned into Doctor Cyber the evil AI system. This is such a wonderful book that really explores the human condition. I give this comic my highest rating five out of five stars.
