Comic Watch Review:

When Diana returned to Area 41 with more than justice on her mind, what she found is not what she expected, but neither is life in Gateway, with a new threat arising. Unfortunately, Diana recognized this particular threat… the gods themselves had come to Gateway City!

Back from the underworld, Diana returns to Area 41 with more than justice on her mind. What she finds is not what she expected, but neither is life in Gateway, as a new threat is rising.

Unfortunately, Diana recognizes this particular threat… the gods themselves have come to Gateway City!

Even with having lost so much, she’s not about to give up on the search for her friend, but with Gateway City descending into chaos as the gods put their fingers on the scale, she may have no other choice. Diana’s return to the surface came with new weapons from hell, forged by Diana, Circe, and Hephaestus … will they be enough to beat back even gods?
