Plot Summary: "The Labors of Cassandra"

The premiere issue, titled "The Labors of Cassandra", deals heavily with Cassie’s fractured personal life and her complex heritage:

• The Amazon Fallout: Following the disastrous attack on Washington, D.C. by the Amazons, a massive rift forms between Wonder Girl and Wonder Woman. Public perception of the Amazons is at an all-time low, forcing Cassie to operate under a low profile.
• The Family Reunion: Cassie struggles with the emotional weight of her identity as a demigod—the daughter of a mortal mother (Helena Sandsmark) and the Greek god Zeus. Her life gets even more complicated when her mythological half-brother, Hercules, arrives.
• The Mission: Hercules reveals that Zeus has a specific cosmic task for them, attempting to persuade Cassie to join him by manipulating her emotions and even mimicking the form of her deceased boyfriend, Conner Kent (Superboy).
• Monstrous Loose Ends: While dealing with Hercules, Cassie is pursued by Apokoliptian Furies sent by Granny Goodness, who seek to kidnap her and her mother.
