@entropy_aegis: Normally for the sake of comic badassery I'd agree with you, but considering Azzarello has a very muted, uncomicbook-like approach to fights, I am not sure you can hold up the Azzarello/Chiang WW and say they are completely equal to other people's work. Imagine if Johns and Lee had done the fight, they would have been punching each other from one side of Themyscira to the other.
Plus I might add that, I dont recall seeing Orion getting stabbed elsewhere and we atm don't know where he was stabbed. I mean, the First Born was stabbed by Diana in a fairly critical organ and fell over (assuming his physiology is roughly the same as a humans), could be the same here.
(Note: It did happen at the end of an issue that intended to give us readers an 'all is lost' feeling, with Diana bleeding out on Olympus and the Amazons getting slowly demolished. But with Hippolyta getting back up, I wouldn't say Orion is out just yet.)
