    Who is behind Wonder Woman's troubles?

    Issue 3 of the Lies storyline and I still think this is the most boring of all the Rebirth books (still not the worst) and something big needs to happen soon because so far it is showing signs of stagnation.

    As in the previous issues, not much happened, Trevor is captive and will soon become a sacrifice to revive a god, Etta goes to his boss's house (who we are presented as Sasha but if she is a known DC character I don't have a clue who she is and neither are we given any background or information about her) to inform her of the situation which doesn't help Trevor because they're not going to mount a rescue mission since Wonder Woman is near thus making the operation unnecessary; meanwhile Diana and Cheetah walk aimlessly in the jungle and talk about why is it that just now Diana cant come back home when luckily they find the place where Trevor and his friends are captured

    The most important thing in this issue revolves around Sasha who seems to be involved with Wonder Woman's situation albeit maybe not voluntarily; however this tease doesn't convince me that the direction of the book is the right one because although this seems to indicate the story isn't following the predictable road I believed, now it seems it is steering away from the mythological aspect of Wonder Woman but who knows, maybe it will work in the end but so far I'm not pleased nor interested

    Art is as good (or as bad as I see it) as the previous issues. My complain still is the colorist, why cant the colorist make the whole book as colorful as those awesome flashback pages? everything is still too dark for a Wonder Woman title. Also it was a nice surprise to see the artist can actually draw an expressive Wonder Woman although it sadly was just in 1 page
