They know each other, so it suggests Orion has visited him before. It's a little odd to see Orion, the son of Darkseid, Dog of War, looking like a twenty three year old, pretty boy, male model. I guess Mother Box is up on earth trends. Orion has come looking for someone and wants Milan's help.
Wonder Woman is in Manhattan in a fancy hotel with her crew. Where does she get the money? It's spent chatting with Lennox about the other brother and going to look for him. She also continues playing referee to Zola and Hera. I don't know why she feels she has to apologize to them for losing her temper either. Both of them behave like brats.
They end up in some old tunnels underground and Hephaestus appears and fiddles with Diana's bracelets. He's expecting something clearly. We find out he made the bracers too and nice to actually see some emotion from Diana regarding her mother. Diana has been very stiff upper lip and not shown much emotion so far regarding her loss. Anyway, Lennox finds Milan. Milan senses trouble is about to brew and tries to chase Lennox away. Hera and Zola back at the hotel seem to bond a tiny bit over that philandering Zeus. After seeing what Hera did in the past, (as with Sirraca and her mother) color me not that sympathetic to her at all.
Orion and Lennox confront each other. Orion demands to know where the last of Zeus' line is. Diana steps in to defend her brother. Orion comes at her while double swords pop from her braces.Milan is not happy.
The last two issues has kind of slowed this story down. Again with meetings and greetings. Another sibling and Orion. Instead of the London flat, we have a hotel in New York for some chatter. Diana getting some new swords. A tease to a fight. Why doesn't she just take off the cuffs? Will she remember she flies and has a lasso as well? Is this new weaponry a permanent thing or just tinkering? Can she pull out any weapon? What will these swords be capable of? Orion does not think much of them.
I give this another 3.5 out of 5.
Best Panel: Cliff does draw a great face for Diana. I am not that enamored of the body he gives her at times. It comes off a bit square and broad shoudered and flat chested. But her features and expressions are always lovely.
