    Saving Diana's Army

    I am not usually such a big fan of the stories involving an invasion of Themyscira, but this one is done with such panache that I can't help but to like it.  The issue starts off with Diana swearing her intentions to remain under custody in the Hague, but upon witnessing the actions of her sisters on Themyscira (under invasion by O.M.A.C.s) she goes to their rescue.  The action on Themyscira before Diana arrives is sort of like a compacted Amazon version of the beginning of Saving Private Ryan with death, sacrifice and bravery forming the key to the Amazons' only chance at victory.  Diana's arrival changes the balance of power somewhat, and the amazons can regroup.  It is especially nice to see after all this time the relationship that has developed between Diana and Artemis, who once usurped her role.  This is a pretty engaging issue and really quite good.
