I do not think that there can ever be enough books about anything and I say that knowing that some of them are going to be about Pilates.The more knowledge the better seems like a solid rule of thumb, even though I have watched enough science fiction films to accept that humanity’s unchecked pursuit of learning will end with robots taking over the world.-Sarah Vowell

Wonder Woman Vol 7: Amazons Attacked by James Robinson (Writer), Emanuella Lupacchino (Artist), Ray McCarthy (Arthist), Carmen Carnero (Artist), Stphen Segovia (Artist), Jesus Merino (Artist), Marco Santucci (Artist), Romulo Fajardo Jr (Colorist), Saida Remofonte (Letterer).


Grail, the daughter of an Amazonian warrior and Darkseid, an evil creature who.was killed by the Justice League, but he has now been reborn as a baby and his daughter is killing the children of Zeus including Hercules who left all his belongings to Wonder Woman including the location of her twin brother Jason, who goes to live with one of the Argonauts.  Grail needs energy from these children to help Darkseid grow older and stronger. While Diana didn't know that she had a brother, her brother knew about her.  He promised Glaucus that he wouldn't seek her out for fear of Hera's wrath.  But he wondered why she didn't seek him out.  Glaucus went away one day leaving him alone and soon Grail came along and kept him company telling him that she would only take a little bit of energy from the sons and daughters of Zeus--not kill them.  She helped fuel his hatred for Diana who had left him stuck on that Greek island in his viewpoint.  The two gang up on Diana and drag her away for a certain plot that Grail has planned.  Wonder Woman allows herself to be tied up so she can try to get through to Jason, but she doesn't succeed.  So she breaks free from her bondage and kicks some ass on both of them. When Darkseid arrives to join in the fight, Wonder Woman doesn't back down.  She'll take him on alone.  But she won't have to.

Jason has decided to be a superhero but he's off to a rocky start by bringing strangers home to party at Diana's home.  Steve doesn't trust him and Diana is practicing tough love on him because she doesn't want to see him get killed because he was careless.  Then Jason disappeared for a while and came back with a powerful new suit and no memories of how he got it but dreams of giants and that it was given with love but it comes with a price and he'll have to do something with the suit soon.

Steve and his Oddfellows get the last of the relics and lock them up in A.R.G.O.S.  Wonder Woman fights Grail and gets her under the Lasso of Truth and finds out some of Darkseid's plan.  He wants the rest of the relics and he plans to go to Themyscira to do what is anyone's guess.  Wonder Woman is trying to get out of the two captured Furies what Darkseid's plan is when he attacks A.R.G.O.S. to get at the relics.

Can Wonder Woman defeat Darkseid when before it took the entire Justice League to defeat him?  And what about Grail and her evil part in this?  Will Themysciara be safe without Wonder Woman able to step foot on it to warn them or help them?  Jason is shaping up to be an interesting character now that he's calmed down and taking things more seriously.  I only worry that the cost of that suit will be too high.  Also included is a story at the beginning of Wonder Woman and the Silver Swan.  This was a great comic and I give it five out of five stars.
