This whole Rise of the Olympian thing, I thought, was about Genocide. I didn't understand how or why, but . . she was the one introduced to us. But now I'm seeing that it's actually about Zeus creating a new Amazon race . . male Amazons . . . Manazons? Nahh! He's given them their own island, Thalarion. Like Themyscira, no women are allowed on this one. He's revived Jason, of the Argonauts, to be the leader and the men who died in battle with him as his soldiers. He's also going to create for him . . a son. That son, I believe, will be the Olympian. But these Amazons have a little different mission than their women counterparts. "You will create the paradise this world should have been centuries ago. You will slaughter the dictators and dismember the warmongers. And then my people will join you in the deep sea forever." So, I guess, it's peace through oppression. Right? Anyways, this part of the story is just beginning. It'll be interesting to see where Gail Simone goes with this. Meanwhile, Diana, along with Donna, Cassie and the JLA are at the DMA headquarters trying to stave off Genocide. But the biggest fight they're going to have to overcome with her is that she is in possession of the lasso. Diana keep eluding to it's true power, and potential, but we don't really know what that is yet. All I know is that it seems as if Diana's self-made army is making progress against Genocide. That is, until . . she uses the lasso on her. Oh yeah, we find out the problem with Director Steel also. It seems that Dr Psycho has switched their minds. And this whole thing, somehow has been put together by the Cheetah. This is a fantastic story-line and I can't wait to see where Gail takes us on this journey. But wherever it is, it's going to look terrific as Aaron Lopresti will be providing the visuals. This is a great book and I love where it's going.
