Wonder Woman #15 - DC

First of all I have to say, brilliant story by Gail Simone. And fantastic art by Terry and Rachel Dodson. Wouldn't it be nice to work out of your home, and you and your wife are in business together like that? That was a great move on their part. I envy that. Anyways, we got a lot of stuff going on right now. Apparently, the story that we've been told about Diana's birth, although accurate, may not have been complete. So we start out this issue with some of the history of the Amazons during the time that led up to her birth. I actually think the story has something to do with her honor guard. But we haven't got there just yet. In the present, Diana and Tresser have recently raided the warehouse . . . actually former safe-house . . . of the Society of Super-villains. But, unfortunately, they found Captain Nazi there. There's a bit of a scuffle . . . Diana doesn't want to reveal her identity . . . . but eventually she overpowers him. With her Golden Lasso she forces him to tell her about his plans to seize Themyscira. But, even without her help, Hippolyta is not going to give up her homeland without a fight. Even if she is the only Amazon left there. Through her scrying mirror she sees what is happening as the commando's arrive. So she immediately begins to formulate her plans. Meanwhile, the Princess wants to come to her aid, but the entire island has been cordoned off to all Amazons as a penalty for the war they waged. So she appeals to every god she can to help her gain access. They all deny her. To do so would be considered an act of war by the Grecian gods, since Athena herself is the one who sealed off the island. But she finally convinces Kane Miohai, god of the sky and the heavens, for his help. But, to do so, she has to pledge her allegiance to him. "No god will come before you in my eyes." She may come to regret that decision. And while Hippolyta is taking out the men a couple at a time, one group has found the island's prison pens. And the inmates locked inside have offered their help. "Free me, and my friends. And we'll hunt her down and help you slaughter her." Diana is now on her way there, so hopefully she'll arrive in time. Plus, next issue, I guess, there's some more to explain as far as the secrets of Paradise Island. This should be interesting.
