Synopsis
The carnival’s in town and it brings Artemis, Cassie and Donna Troy something far more sinister than amusement in the form of Egg Fu!
Meanwhile Diana, now known as the Goddess of Truth, takes up residence in her new home on Olympus, but finds it hard to adjust to the life of a Goddess. She finds herself frustrated when trying to help her friends back down on Earth and is told by the other Gods that she cannot interfere – her days of helping Mankind as Wonder Woman are at an end.
At the climax Hippolyta makes her first appearance as the new Wonder Woman.
