    Zola #2

    So we got Wonder Woman's origin story a issue too late and she still seems like a secondary character in her own book. She barely talks, she almost never "acts" but rather she reacts to the situation she is presented with making her more of a bimbo and less of a character in my opinion. This is unique to this title and some might find it interesting...and maybe I would too with a different character but this is Wonder Woman. She's the one that makes things happen. She actively seeks out going to the world of man, takes i upon herself to help the world, etc. Why is she now just reacting to what happening to her?

    The story is focusing on the woman that carry's Zeus' new child more than anything else and all the characters are reacting to her and her situation and while that is ok for a future arc, for a first arc it's bad as it places Wonder Woman as a secondary character in her own book where she's supposed to be intro'd to the world

    Oh, and WTF is up with the need for getting a woman naked/changing clothes within the first couple pages? This is the second time they present a woman naked within pages of that woman's first appearance in this book. This character is supposed be a role model for women and girls. I don't have a problem with nudity, but this give the impression that a woman needs to be naked soon after their first met to both boys and girls and that is just wrong.

      I am such a sucker for Greek mythology. It's one of my favorite things to see referenced in literature. Before last month, I'd never read a Wonder Woman book in my life. After this month, I'm going to put this on my pull list.Now, Wonder Woman is not the most artistically ambitious book of the New 52 (that credit goes to Batwoman or Swamp Thing), but Cliff Chiang and Brian Azzarello are doing neat things here regardless. They respect the power of the Amazons and they seem to respect women. You m...

      This issue grabbed me from the first moment as the revelation of who was behind the attacks in the first issue became apparent.  What follows was a bit of a lull as Diana heads to Paradise Island to protect Zola.  Although there is a kind of pointless battle between Diana and another Amazon (Aleka) it still felt right, and almost sort of an homage to the golden age when such gladiatorial events would break out all the time in the presence of the Amazons.  With a strong start and average middle t...
