In the previous comics, Lennox gets killed and Cassandra gets damaged badly and the Firstborn gets captured and Apollo takes him to Olympus. War was killed by Wonder Woman who is now holding that title. Apollo has no intention of killing the Firstborn. He wants to break him and bring him to heal and have him bow to him. Wonder Woman gets Zola an apartment and then suddenly the traitor Hermes appears to take her to Olympus since she is War now. Wonder Woman asks that Hera is restored to her power, but Apollo says no. He tells her that a war is coming and that she will be needed but she tells him to fight it on his own. Hermes asks for forgiveness as he was just protecting the child and he spends his time shadowing them. Cassandra goes in search of her brother Milan who has the sight and can find the Firstborn and Zeke. He is not willing to help though as he hates his sister. Strife is not happy about War being murdered by Wonder Woman and she wants revenge. So she goes to visit and brings gifts. To Hera, she brings her cloak and to baby Zeke, she gives a blanket that blocks his presence from the eyes of the gods. To Wonder Woman a hideous war helmet. Then when they realize that Milan is gone and they need to save him they leave Zola with Strife who hints to her that she is a burden to them and should leave so Zola does. Zola, of course, runs into lots of trouble while out on her own, and Wonder Woman and Orion have trouble trying to get to Milan. Apollo is torturing the Firstborn but he will not yield and the Oracles predict a war between the two of them with one of them dying.
Apollo is dead by the Fristborn's hand who has taken over Olympus and turned it into an intestine. He kills off Hades and unleashes the dead upon the earth. He's looking for the Lastborn, or Zeke, so he can destroy him before he destroys him. Zola and Zeke are on Paradise Island with Wonder Woman and Hera. Hera turns Diana's mother into a clay statue and pisses everyone off. Then she turns them all into snakes and Wonder Woman makes her turn them back. They realize she is a god and must be respected but they don't like her much. This puts Wonder Woman in charge and makes her Queen. Her first plan is to protect Zeke which doesn't go over very well with the warriors. She's got an even crazier idea that she's working on with Hesphestus involving the men of Paradise Island.
Meanwhile, Cassandra is going crazier due to all the human flesh she is being forced to eat by Firstborn. The Messenger and Dio get attacked by the dead. And Wonder Woman, Artemis, and Orion go up against the Firstborn's army in the forest as they try to kill it and they fail. Wonder Woman is taken, hostage. She has given up. Firstborn plans on killing all the gods. Will none of them help her? As the battle rages on at Paradise Island how long can they hold out?
This was a pretty good comic. I particularly liked it when Wonder Woman, the superhero who embraces love basically told a bad guy screw you. It was refreshing. And it was cool to find out the ending to this story. Its been a great ride and I've enjoyed every minute of it. The artwork is amazing as always with its earth tones. I give this book a five out of five stars.
