You Wait Ages for DC Comics With the Hecate and Then, Ironically, Three Come Along at Once
Hecate or Hekate is a goddess in Greek religion and mythology and later depicted in triple form. That triple identity has also emerged from Roman and greek mythology as The Fates, The Furies and as the pagan Triple Goddess, three female figures are frequently described as the Maiden, the Mother, and the Crone. And you can partially blame Robert Graves as drawing that line, and DC Comics joined in as well, with a little help from Neil Gaiman.
But today, it's gone into overload. The current Witching Hour crossover with Justice League Dark and Wonder Woman has pushed the Hecate to the top.
While over in Harley Quinn, the Fates who made Captain Triumph in the Quality Comics series in the fifties, now revived, are now the Three Witches…
While over in Lucifer #1 they are ripping out their own eyes in tribute to the Dark Lord, now a bearded, blinded, porridge-dodging fool… though missing a sister…
Ooh, what a bitch… who wants a little Fates overload?

That causes him to butt heads and trade punches with his would-be protector, Harley Quinn. Can Harley talk her way out of this clash? And more importantly, where's she getting a time machine so she can send Captain Triumph home? In Shops: Oct 17, 2018 SRP: $3.99JUSTICE LEAGUE DARK #4
