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 use the women as his personal army. But Jason who has never set foot in the place can cross over and does and helps his mother and the women fight off Darkseid as Wonder Woman sends him far away with no memory of who he is. Diana makes a wish for a return of the old gods.
Someone hears that wish. Dark gods from a faraway planet. They land and begin to drive people mad, including some of the superheroes. Jason finds out that the suit he wears was meant for his sister to fight in the coming battle, not for him, but it's now attached to him. It allows him to have the powers of all the gods one at a time. Diana has gone off to fight with the Star Sapphires up in space against one of the gods. The Star Sapphires use love to conquer their enemies which is why they asked Wonder Woman to help them as she stands for love. They manage to vanquish the god temporarily and Diana returns back to Earth to check on Jason.
Jason has been examing the other gods and has learned that the head god is King Best but doesn't know what he wants. The other gods are Mob god who is the goddess of chaos and mob rule; a god with no name who is the god of doubt and nothing'; and savage, the god of war, but only wars for power, profit, and blood. When the Justice League arrives Jason finally realizes what King Best wants--he wants lots of superheroes to absorb into his body to make him strong. So Wonder Woman and Jason fight King Best and dunk him in the Atlantic Ocean as the other gods sweep the earth causing havoc. The rest of the Justice League and the military are fighting the gods around the globe. When Jason finds out that Savage is in South America he heads there with a plan that could go wrong because when Diana runs after him she finds that he has fallen into the madness. Will they be able to defeat these gods?
Diana feels a great deal of guilt over the destruction of the Earth and what is happening to Jason since she made the wish in the first place for the gods to return which brought these gods to their planet. She feels it's her responsibility to get rid of them. But Jason and Steve won't let her bear that burden alone. Jason really grows in this comic and shows that not only can he be trusted but he can be the hero you expect from Diana's brother. These are formidable enemies and the writers are quite creative in their storytelling. The art is gloriously vivid and realistically drawn. This was an excellent comic and I truly loved it. I give it five out of five stars.
