Amazons Attack! #6 - DC

This one finally wraps up the Amazon Attacks! story-line. But, it really leaves more questions than answers. The final page is . . . . unexpected. But I'll get to that later. The JLA is in Washington now. And with Batman's discovery last issue, they know that Circe is not really dead. Diana and her mother have an all-out battle. Which leads to Hippolyta having to decide if she wants to take her daughters life. Of course she doesn't. By the time that battle is over, Circe's powers have returned. Batman used a little incantation from Zatanna last issue, to temporarily take them from her. And it looks like the war is about to heat up again. But . . . at that moment . . . Athena appears to them. Basically she says that she felt that she needed to test the Amazons. She also feels that they failed . . . utterly. So she feels that they all need to be punished. Circe is banished to Hades. She makes all the Amazons disappear. Actually, nobody else knows this except us readers, but all she did was take away their memories, and put them in to anonymous places in the human world. They're all still Amazons, they just don't remember it. Now they think they're all housewives, or soccer-moms, or business women, or whatever. They're all still there . . . they just don't know it. And neither does anybody else. Which leaves Hippolyta " . . all alone in paradise. A ruler with no subjects. Some might call it tragic. I, for one, would call it justice." Which leads us to the last 2 pages. Newsflash . . . that wasn't really Athena. It hasn't been the whole time this war has been going on. Someone has gone to Olympus, imprisoned the gods, and taken Athena's powers and identity. What was her purpose? Well for that you only need to know one name . . . . Granny Goodness. Which means that this is all part of something bigger. And . . . it isn't anywhere near over. What a fantastic twist ending. And what a fantastic prelude for the bigger battle which is yet to come. I kept wondering when this Darksied thing that we've been hearing about, that was going to happen this summer, was going to rear it's ugly head. Well . . now we know. And we also know that this can only be a piece of a much bigger puzzle. I can't wait to see where we go from here.
