In the previous comic, 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.
In this comic Wonder Woman is forced to get a physical after going through so many missions in a row. She is checked out by Dr. Crawford at the military hospital. Etta asks Diana to go to her brother's wedding that night. As Diana is playing with a child under the table the child finds some explosives that Diana has just a second to cover with her body to prevent as much damage as possible. But still her friend Etta, Commander Candy, is injured and she quickly flies her to the military hospital where Dr. Crawford is working. Dr. Crawford sedates Wonder Woman and takes some of her blood and injects it inside her because she has a disease that will kill her and she believes that Wonder Woman's blood will save her and make her superhuman. Now Wonder Woman must find a way to stop someone with her powers.
Word on the street is out about Dr. Crawford's research into Wonder Woman's blood and someone is willing to pay big money for Wonder Woman's body. Etta and Wonder Woman are fighting them off at Etta's place and take care of them by the time Steve Trevor shows up. Geneticist Hamilton Revere is the one behind the bounty hunters and he says he wants to cure many diseases. Diana wants to turn herself into him and work with him to cure these diseases. But is that really what he's up to? Can he be trusted? She'll be going in alone, but not to fear her trusted back up team of Etta and Steve won't be far behind even if they are ordered not to be.
At the end of this book, there are several short comics including one about Steve going to help his old buddies in A.R.G.U.S.'s ODDFELLOWS program that investigated odd things, and Wonder Woman coming to King Shark's aid, and a village with a curse and an ancient monster come to attack a city. This was an intriguing comic in that it explored Diana's need to help others with her divine blood and what that could mean for humanity. The short comics look at a variety of topics that Wonder Woman and Steve must deal with as part of their daily lives. Things that make them think. This was a wonderful comic. I give it five out of five stars.
