    The Journey Continues

    Last issues action brought Diana to Turkey and no we find out why.  She meets a groups of Amazons who are at an ancient temple praying for her.  When she first arrives they are being attacked by a group mercenaries.  Diana talks with them and discovers more about her role.  She talks with a god (presumably Aphrodite as they are at her temple) through a statue and it is revealed that Diana must be tested so that she can discover what it means to be a queen.

    Diana is up for the test, and understands the implications of failure, but defies them that they will not dictate to her what is possible.  I thought this was a really interesting issue.  It approached faith from a much more realistic perspective.  It is not hard to have faith in your god or gods when you can see them.  When you think you might be talking to them through a statue it is a different matter.  Mot of all I like that even though Diana doesn't remember who she is, it doesn't change who she is, as she leads a personal attack against the mercenaries, not sure if she will survive.

Michael Straczynski is taking borders on the near gargantuan pinnacles for writing both Superman and Wonder Woman, he still manages to create some compelling issues, even more so with #602.
