After her violent fight with the First Born, Diana didn't have other choice but to kill Ares, the God of War, to stop the First Born from getting his powers and his position in the Olympus. Now Wonder Woman is the new Goddess of War and will have to deal with her new responsibilities.
So what do we get from this issue? I have commented in the past how much potential the premise of Diana as the Goddess of War has and Brian Azzarello tries to exploit the concept to explore a bit more her relationship with her brothers and the rest of her supporting cast, it was a nice set-up overall.
There's a little problem though, I don't feel that the story progressed a lot. In this issue we only saw characters that we're previously introduced already and there wasn't any big conflict, just people talking naturally. There were some moments of character development of course but nothing actually surprising.
The pencils are handled by Goran Sudsuka and he does and admirably job at following Cliff Chiang's style, it looks quite good and is a perfect transition from the previous look of the book.
Overall, I would say it's a good but not particularly great beginning for this new storyline.
Hey, are you Peruvian?
ResponderBorrarI live in Peru (I'm British tho). I'm a huge fan of Azzarellos' run on Wonder Woman and obviously a big fan of DC Comics. I'm a girl by the way, name's Nick. Nice to meet ya, mate. It's good to see a fellow Peruvian who's fan of comic books :)
Hello, sorry to answer so late, I'm a bit new at this.
BorrarI have been loving Azzarello's run on WW since the beginning and is indeed good to see another Peruvian comic fan. Thanks for the comment, is nice to meet you.
