Amazons Attack! #1 - DC

This issue fills in the in-between pages of the last issue of Wonder Woman. I you read it, you know that the Govt. had captured Wonder Woman, and were going to interrogate her, run tests on her, and whatever else the Govt. or aliens do with their abductees. Well about the same time, Circe landed on Themyscira and brought Hippolyta back to life. I don't know why, maybe it was the way she died, or maybe Circe has her in her throes somehow, but Hippolyta, the Amazon Queen, is embracing her war-lust. She's decided to make war on the world of man for what they're attempting to do to her daughter. Basically, since Washington DC is the capital of the free world, that's where she decides to make her stand. But Nemesis has broken Wonder Woman out of her cell. But by the time she gets to Hippolyta, the capital city is pretty much in ruins. Or at least the monuments, which they take as a direct affront to their proud Greek architecture. In fact Hippolyta is sitting in Lincoln's chair, at the Lincoln memorial when Wonder Woman finds her. So now that Wonder Woman is free, she can call off her attack. Right? Somehow I don't think that's going to happen. Like I said, this issue fills in those pages between Wonder Woman's capture, and when she breaks free and finds her mother sitting in a city of ruins. But both issues pretty much end up on the same note. "Mom?It'll be interesting to see how this all plays out. I really don't know what the Amazons can do to take this back, after they've come so far, and done so much. Maybe they're building a permanent wedge between their world and ours. Or maybe . . . . Circe has more up her sleeve than even we thought possible. She does seem to be playing both side against the middle. But anyways Pete Woods crafts an interesting story here. And it'll be interesting to see how he works his way out of it. I haven't seen Pete Woods in a while, but I like the work that he turned in on this issue. Nice pencils. Good framing and flow. Overall a good book, and a decent concept, if . . . and it's a big if . . . they don't woose out and play this book out to it's logical conclusion. And the logical conclusion would not be pretty for the Amazons or for Wonder Woman. I know it may not be comfortable, or what everybody wants. But, it would be the logical conclusion. We'll see, by issue 6, what size cahones Will and Pete have.
