Synopsis

Hermes summons Wonder Woman to Olympus from her romantic meeting with Superman, and the Man of Steel follows, but they arrive in different locations. After Hermes explains to Diana that Olympus has been taken over by Darkseid, the New God toys with the heroes, making them battle, as he discusses with Desaad his plans. When Superman and Wonder Woman find Darkseid and point out that he has conquered nothing as the Olympians abandoned their home, Darkseid sets off explosives throughout Olympus and leaves. But Olympus immediately regenerates and Wonder Woman and Superman return home as friends.

Indexer Notes

Story broken up into chapters: "Chapter One: First Date...," pp. 1-7; "Chapter Two: Fallen Idols," pp. 8-12; "Chapter Three: Broken Mirrors," pp. 13-20; "Chapter Four: Battle!," pp. 21-24; and "Chapter Five: This Hollow Victory...," pp. 25-32. Darkseid tells Desaad that the Olympian gods are creations of the same energy released by the battle of the old gods that created Apokolips and New Genesis, though Circe describes a very different process of generation of the gods in Wonder Woman #19 when she explains to Diana that the New Gods had their genesis in the energy released by the Titans conflict with the Olympians.

Synopsis

Wonder Woman is subdued and taken to the island of Aeaea by Circe's beasts. There, Circe explains how she had made an alliance with the goddess Hecate in order to take revenge on those who wronged her and sow the seeds of distrust between men and women. Circe sees Diana and her mission as a threat to that cause and prepares a spell to revert Diana to the clay from which she was formed. However, Julia and the rebels storm Circe's lair and delay Circe just enough for divine intervention to put an end to her schemes.
