The story is extremely simplistic and takes place over one overly-long scene that morphs through different phases. The structure of the issue sets Xena in a strange position. Finch has to start at square one and develop the mythology of the television series from scratch in the span of one comic book. “Xena” has been outside of the public eye for such a long time this installment bears the herculean task of reestablishing the character. Will Xena find redemption or betrayal waiting for her in the temple of the gods? The power, the passion, the danger… her courage would change the world. But some things can never be forgiven and the shadows of past sins are long. Xena travels to Athens, to plead for redemption in the temple of Eleos. The path to redemption is never easy, and the journey of a warrior princess seeking to wash the blood of innocents from her hands is no exception.
