Katana has joined the deadly Sword Clan in the hope that they’ll lead her further down her path to vengeance! Also, Katana has been contacted by Steve Trevor—but what does the Justice League of America want with her?

That’s the set up for the issue, and that’s about as clear as it gets. I was really scratching my head by the time I got to the end of the issue, which I can only describe as a skipping record, never quite finishing a track before going to the next half-way through it.

The story narrative is choppy, never once finding the flow it deserves. Scenes seem to end and go into the next without rhyme or reason. And the events themselves make little sense. We go from this big battle to a two person fight and then some talking with someone who just seems to be there, then shift to Japan Town. It’s all very strange, incoherent. Then we get to the end, which is even odder.

Much like the story, the art too is inconsistent. Some panels look great, others… not so much.

A mess is a nice description for this comic which seems to lack direction or purpose. Much like the first issue, I wonder if the only reason we’re seeing this series is it’s main character is part of a high profile team book. My guess is we won’t be seeing this series on the shelves for too long.
