Robinson's run has not been inspiring and, while I'd argue that this is better than his earlier two volumes - in that there's at least an attempt at some characterisation amidst the fighting - it's still not really enough. The main problem is the rather uninteresting villains, generic manifestations of war, chaos, and so on, whose powers don't even seem terribly consistent. Plus, Jason gets a bunch of new powers, that essentially allow him to do whatever the plot requires so long as he can think of a Greek god with some relevance to what's at hand (and there were Greek gods for everything once we include the minor ones who don't do much in the myths). Even the interlude with the Star Sapphires tells us relatively little about them, although at least it tries. In fact, the opening scenes, with Cheetah and Supergirl, are the best, feeling like they at least fit into something larger.
