Some thoughts about Wonder Woman #23.2: First Born

The origin of the First Born is finally explored.

After the intense battle between him and Diana, the First Born doesn't have enough strength to face Apollo who with the help of his Oracles is able to investigate about his brother's past as well as how his future connects him to Zeus' throne.

This works as both a continuation and a prologue to Brian Azzarello's story on Wonder Woman. The first years of the First Born are revealed and they're pretty interesting to watch, about a man who knows only hate due to being condemned by a prophecy that his father had to follow, not to mention that it develops a pretty interesting background for the next story on Wonder Woman.

One thing though, did the First Born have sex with a hyena? Because if so, ew.

The pencils are handled by ACO this time and he does a fantastic job at replicating the style that Cliff Chiang created for this series. I would love to see him as Chiang's replacement if he leaves title.

Excellent issue. This almost compensates for how disappointing was the Cheetah issue from last week (almost).
