Serpent time
In comparison to other recent issues this one is relatively mundane, but perhaps purposefully so after a string of excellent issues, every series sometimes needs an issue to catch its breath, and that seems to be what is happening here. The action is fun and the plot is also strong though at times it seems a little forced in order to explain what has been going on. Nevertheless the growing threat to the cities is well handled and well described and Diana's initial confrontation was pretty fun to read. The issue closes with a decent cliffhanger, but it is the second time in the past 5 issues there has been a fight between two female heroes (and so is a bit recycled for the writer who usually keeps things fresh.) Still overall it is a decent lead-in to the story arc.
