We start with the head eating "First Born" and learn he was entombed for seven thousand years.
We learn about Sirraca's background and how nasty and vindictive Hera was and probably still is.
Now I would say Diana got off real lucky compared to what happened to Sirraca. It was a good thing mom and sisters kept her a secret else imagine her without a nose. Seems Zeus is not all that cruel either, is he?
And Diana, with a few choice words and a little one sided fighting, gets Sirraca to trust her just like that. Eh.
The Gods continue to squabble and we find out the First Born's history. Born to Zeus and Hera, and taken away to be put to death because of perceived threat to Dad. Hera appeared back then to have some maternal feeling. Can't say I feel too sorry for her because she was a meanie afterwards to many other mothers and her own children.The First Born was not killed because the witch who was supposed to do it was moved by pity for Hera.
We then switch to New Genesis and see High Father who is worried about a threat. Orion is going to be sent into the fray.
So this issue was kind of slow. It was more introductions and nothing much happened but talking. I am interested to know who is leading the expedition and what they want with the First Born. But I am also getting a little weary of reading about more Gods. Whatever Orion is coming for, does it really concern the universe? I sure hope so because so far it is just Olympian politics and him coming in for the sake of another God in the picture is just adding to the clutter of deities. We have many loose hanging threads and no signs of tying anything up and more Gods seem to loom on the horizon judging by upcoming solicits.
I give this 3.5 stars
