Wonder Woman and the Flash try to prevent the Queen Bee from invading the Earth even as the Flash ponders his committment to the Justice League.

This issue is devoted more to introspection and character interaction as Wonder Woman finally confronts Wally West on whether he is ready to return to full-time membership in the Justice League. But the Flash, who is now married with children, has new doubts about whether he can truly give the League the attention it deserves. The invasion of the Queen Bee is just the catalyst that helps Wally clear his head.

The villain's plot isn't all that clever or dangerous. A bunch of scientists are turned into drones and they fight our heroes-- that is about it. The cover, which features the Flash and Wonder Woman entranced and the Queen Bee in a very alluring pose, doesn't really reflect the contents of the book. Basically, it is nice to see a Flash back on the Justice League but other than that, this issue doesn't have much to offer. It feels like a filler, to kill time before the upcoming CRISIS.

The art however is very good, even for those who aren't fans of Van Sciver. He maintains his eye for detail and facial expressions but doesn't resort to twisted grotesqueries or weirdness-for-its-own sake. Instead, we get a very attractive and powerful Wonder Woman and a very dynamic and very human Flash.

Just one detail: apparently Wally and his wife share housekeeping chores. That is nice of him, but considering his speed, can't Wally do all the chores himself. Well, this issue still gets two and a half stars out of five.
