Just when you thought the family dynamics couldn’t get more messed up in this book — Zeus is Diana’s daddy! Zola is her aunt! — we get another halfbreed son of Zeus, Lennox, waltzing in out of nowhere. At first it seemed intrusive — I don’t really understand why he’s there yet, other than to fight Cerberus for some reason — but the potential for this intrigues me. If this book is going to be about Diana meeting and fighting other bastard children of the gods, it definitely gives Azzarello lots of room to play around with this story. It could also seem like a grown-up knockoff of Percy Jackson and the Olympians, or, for that matter, Highlander: A bunch of immortals who Have Inside Them Blood of Kings, anyone?
As in previous issues, there were a lot of things that made me go “huh?” here. All I know is that Poseidon has an adorable little starfish crown, and is somehow both an octopus and a whale. So … I have that going for me. There’s a lot of creature work here, and fortunately Tony Akins is really good at that. (I was less enthused about the faces; Wonder Woman’s eyes look weirdly close together sometimes.)
Story: 3 - Good
Art: 4 - Very Good
Art: 4 - Very Good
I definitely noticed that her face was weird. It bothered me a lot throughout the whole issue.
I’m less enthusiastic about the narrative direction of this series. Not that there’s anything wrong with it, just that I feel like it’s been done a lot and better and not that long ago – I’m usually not one to knock off huge points for that kind of thing, but this book seems so entrenched in the weird family ties-slash-politics of it that that’s all there is in it. Worse, it just doesn’t feel like a Wonder Woman story, very much…she’s just a character in it who, for some strange reason, fights evil in her bathing suit.
