Arriving at the city museum, Wonder Woman discovers that her friend Dr. Helena Sandsmark has been kidnapped and a newly arrived sacred dagger stolen.

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 confront Cheetah and save Dr. Sandsmark. After a contentious battle, Wonder Woman manages to fool Cheetah and save Helena using replica scroll.

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.
