Wonder Woman #11 - DC

Well . . . more of the Amazon's attack storyline. This issue shows what happened when Superman swooped in and took Wonder Woman away. We saw that happen in Countdown, or maybe Amazon's Attack, but we didn't see what they did or where they went. They went to plan their strategy, and they all agreed that Diana was the only on who could retrieve the antidote from Themyscira, for Nemesis. Basically, she had to pray to Athena and ask her help in delivering her to Themyscira. Meanwhile, WildCat, Black Canary and Mr. Terrific are fighting some DEO agents who have been morphed by Circe's magic. Back on Themyscira, Diana is stunned by how empty her home is. Mr. Terrific is trying to hack in to the DEO computers to try to stop the missile launch that they have aimed at Themyscira. But . . he can't do it. The missile is launched. And since Diana is there, it's up to her to stop it. But it's also been mystically enchanted. So everything Diana tries, just repairs itself. It takes Athena herself to stop it, but in doing so, she becomes very angry with Diana. "Diana, today you invoked my name twice, asking for my help as the goddess of wisdom . . . but you seem to have forgotten, or perhaps chosen to ignore . . . that I am also the goddess of war . . . and the goddess of strategy . . and it is for me and me alone to say how and when and why I wave my mighty hand !" And with that she scoops Diana up in her hand, as if to crush her in her palm. Like I said, I like the way they're handling the cross-over parts of this storyline. There's no overlapping. You see the start of a scene in one book . . and then watch it play out in another. So with this story, you really do need to get all the cross-overs to know what's going on. Brilliant! J.Torres writes it and Paco Diaz does the art. It doesn't really matter whether I like them or not, because they're only going to be here for this 2 part story. Then we should be getting back to out regular creative team. Which, I believe, will coincide with the end of the Amazon Attacks mini. Then we'll get back to our regular stories. That is if the current events don't shake things up to much. Guess we'll have to wait and see.
