Arriving at the city museum, Wonder Woman discovers that her friend Dr. Helena
Sandsmark has been kidnapped and a newly arrived sacred dagger stolen. A speedy
investigation confirms Wonder Woman's suspicions that Cheetah is behind
everything. Apparently the wielder of the dagger can absorb the powers of a
blood sacrifice, and Cheetah has Wonder Woman's powers in mind, but she did not
acquire the scroll containing the necessary ritual. Wonder Woman rushes off to

Quote of the Story:
Helena Sandsmark- "Well, even if she does come looking for it, I think it's
safe---not even a supervillain
could figure out this museum's filing system!"
Review:
The best story in the series so far. It's a well-plotted story and the
characters have some depth. The artwork is expressive and very enjoyable, with
several spectacular panels. Hopefully this bodes well for the future.
