TITLE: Stoned Conclusion
PLOT:
Medousa and Wonder Woman, the champions of Poseidon and Athena, face one another in single combat, and the rest of the world can only watch as the fight is relayed across every television screen in every land. Ares has been invoked and the stadium where the two champions duel is sealed until the fight ends in death for one or other combatant. As the two fight, they appear to be evenly matched, and Medousa is slowly able to remove Wonder Woman's helmet and blindfold that protect her from the gorgon's gaze. Finally, feeling the compulsion to look upon Medousa growing, Wonder Woman smears some of the gorgon's venom into her eyes, blinding herself so that she can face the monster without being turned to stone. Doing so, she lops off her opponent's head. The battle has been won, but at a price. PREVIOUS ISSUE | NEXT ISSUE
