    Family issues

    Zeke is sick, neither Zola, Hera or Diana know what to do, Hera send WW to the Gaia's temple (as she is the mother of every living thing on Earth or something like that) in a desperate hail mary pass fashion; there Diana finds Hecate (goddess of witchcraft and lot of other things) whom seems to know a lot of whats happening to Zeke and tells Diana that to cure him she needs her to steal something from Hera (risking her rage and betraying someone she loves), Diana is skeptical but since she has no other option she accepts and from there the story develops.

    Diana's dialogue with Hecate was somewhat hard to follow specially when she talks about Gaia (who seems to be more than a god) and why she wont help. There also seem to be some inconsistencies as Hecate knows Zeke's identity (I dont think she is supposed to know) and recent health issues (again no one besides Diana, Zola and Hera are supposed to know) and she seems to be playing a role very similar to Strife, trying to make Diana doubt the intentions of her loved ones and make her believe she cant trust anybody.

    This is a quick read issue with nothing relevant happening, lots of dialogue that tells us nothing and has Diana reflecting a lot, which only helped to show us how she feels sad because she doesnt fit in the god's family. Skip it and you dont miss anyhting as the first page of next issue gives you a recap.
