This was a really good issue. There's a scene in it that was a real shock to the emotions, if you're not use to violence in the media.

It appears that Ares' lover or wife is after Diana and blames her for his death.

Diana gets saved.

Donna dies in this issue.

Violet dies in this issue.

Very well done, in my perspective.

@dshipp17: I could complain about Donna´s death, but she back in Titans Hunt.

@vitalius: The question of the day is: How do you kill a character in your story after you established that they can't die.

@malachi_munroe:

1. I wasnt dead i was just "insert here the reason"
2. Magic
3. Redone everything bad after final issue of that arc.
4. I was healed or rescurected because "insert here the reason"
5. Writers dont care or didnt pay attention causing plot hole in both stories.

And hurricane Finch rages on, the death toll mounts, the Finches will leave the Wonder Woman verse in shambles. At first blush, I thought it made sense that Meredith would write to her husband's strengths, if you're gonna write rubbish you might as well showcase the artist's fortes, but now I realize this run is basically a display case for David Finch, that you pay for.

@brunnhilde: Dammit you're right! This is just f'n horrible writing. How do you establish that a character can't die then kill them off anyways? How can David read this stuff and agree with it being published?

This book suck badly I mean the reveal behind this was so weak I just want this story to be over

@somayareece: I don't know that she's dead, the arrow turned Donna to stone which is probably reversible at this point

Well, Hippolyta turned to clay was also reversible... right up to the point when it wasn't.

@outside_85: She's alive and well in Titans Hunt so I reckon Donna will meet a different fate than Hippolyta

@brunnhilde: @outside_85: That's weird considering Diana was turnt back to clay in a Post-Crisis story and it was reversed.

I don't think she's truly dead, I mean she's been turned to stone because of the God Killer Arrow. Maybe they just need to pull the arrow out of her for her to heal? It was a really good issue in my opinion. It was sad to see Violet die specially so soon.

She's not dead. As bad as it was, I enjoyed this issue.

I feel especially bad for Wonder Woman in this issue at the treatment from the Finches to be honest. She gets suckered by Aegus and doesn't fight back against him, she fails to inspire Donna or teach her to be a better person since she drops those teachings the minute her friend is murdered and she's still fighting with the other gods of Olympus to boot too. I know the Azzarello haters didn't like how he depicted Wonder Woman's difficulty in solving her own problems but I think she put up a better show with more effort and attempt than she's displaying here. Worst of all is how Donna's being butchered beyond repair, I'm surprised Wolfman still works for DC when the characters he's worked on in New Teen Titans are ruined by incompetent creators.

The only problem I had with this issue was that Wonder Woman seemed to he everyone's punching bag, Aegus beat her down, then Donna took her turn. I mean I get that she doesn't want to beat them down because they're young and all but she could at least block a hit or two.

Oh happy days, hurricane Finch is laying waste to the Wonder Woman verse, destroying everything in its path, meanwhile she's a bit player in the drama that's Superman's life in SMWW, her characterization is spot-on! And her role in Darkseid War is HUGE so everyone but Wonder Woman is getting a one-off. Even a debby downer such as myself is overcome with joy.

right? and now Aegis is all "sorry I tried to kill you and become the GoW, now I'm on your side because the god who hired me is actually crazy" ... seriously? How is he just now catching on that the god who set him up is crazy?

She gets the main title. The others are one shot tie-ins. WW will be the main player in the whole second phase and the rest of the league isn't mentioned at all. Check the solicits at least.

@squalleon: I read the solicitations, she's sharing the spotlight with Mister Miracle and the Crime Syndicate which is fine really, it's just that it's dawning on me now that perhaps her role is not as big as I originally thought. That's what happens when I set my expectations high.

I'm happy that it's her thoughts we hear throughout the war. This makes her central to the proceedings more so than any other member of the League. Batgod and almost murderous Superman aside, this is her baby and I'm loving it.

@scorpio_cassadine: I'm enjoying it too, I feel like I should say that. But obviously the more the merrier, especially as we go through this great Wonder Woman drought.

@brunnhilde: I'm glad I am not the only one to know that her role isn't big in Darkseid. Everyone is getting power ups and literally becoming gods except her. How do you establish that someone is going to have the biggest role in a storyline and proceed to make them the least relevant one?

They're saving the best for last. :)

Fine, it's also people who don't like Azzarello's run and his critics who didn't like that aspect of his Wonder Woman run as well, does that smooth my original phrasing over? And the rest of your post doesn't really connect with how Azz at least had Wonder Woman try to solver her own problems, admit where she went wrong and learn from the experience to better deal with it next time. Here Diana is just failing in everything she does under The Finches' pens and that is far more damaging and disrespectful handling of the character than what she went through in Azzarello's run.

I think Wonder Woman will be the leader of the resistance, the Princess Leia of the Darkseid War, but we'll see. I'm just a bit bummed about the bracelets, some consistency across the board would be lovely. I happen to really like the berserk-mode

well, she's already a God so what do they do make her a "double god"? ... I suspect we'll see Diana need to embrace her true power in order to stop the Justice League Gods

Have to agree with you on this one ... the Finch run is a mess. Sooner we get past them the better IMO

Oh please. I don't even remember the last time someone wrote Wonder Woman properly or handled her without damaging her character. Everyone portrays her differently one way or another. We got Finch portraying her as some naive ignoramus that tries to give advice to people on being a better person like she's some type of angel. I don't know what Azzarello did that is so special except that he is a veteran writer that should know how to give a good story. His characterization was out of the box and doesn't fit a character like Wonder Woman. We can sit here and pick out things that are right or wrong with what these people giving us but nobody here knows what Marston truly wanted.

I agree; no one has written Wonder Woman in the spirit of Marston, while Batman and Superman are mostly written in the vision of their creators, even to this day. The only writer I'll pluck up is Messner-Loebs, however.

Really we need to write a letter to DC to get Meredith off this book. DC keeps hiring bad writers.

@csg_cl: ...is it wrong that I wanted Strife to eat him? (..i actually enjoy the way she writes strife ..mostly because she's that pain in the a** sibling )

@malachi_munroe: LOL ... Would have been better than what ended up happening!
