Apollo has been very specifically and consistently described, and none of those descriptions are "bald, with skin the color of magma".
I'm not saying that I oppose any attempt to tweak their presentation, but it has to make sense. He looks absolutely nothing like himself. He shows up at the beginning of the book, but I had no idea it was him. I love Greek mythology, and while I'm not an expert, I feel pretty sure that I know more about it than Azzarello. If you're going to make such a big change to such a long-standing character (being Zeus's daughter will, for absolutely no reason grounded in mythology, give her new abilities) it needs to be for a better reason than just for the sake of changing it.Īnd let's talk about that mythology. Her origin story has been consistent for seventy years. No, Diana is now another of Zeus's bastard children. She's no longer sculpted of clay by her mother. But there are a few things that irritated me.įor one, Diana's origin story has been changed. The art is better than I expected from the cover, and I like how Diana is generally portrayed. There are things that I did like about this book. It looks like I may be in the minority here. I'm going to start featuring friends in my reviews that don't frigging review bump and do deserve more attention. Zeus's cheating ways get brother's Poseidon and Hades attention and the shit hits the fan.įor a more serious look at this book check out my friend Lono's review. Zeus's wife Hera is on a rant because it seems like Zeus can't keep his weiney to himself.īut then when I saw how Zeus was drawn in this book.Īnyways.Hera is all pissed off at all the kiddos that Zeus has running around and come to find out.The story Diana's warrior mommy told her about Diana's birth? Big old lie. In this book Wonder Woman AKA Diana is forced to come to a mortal woman's aid because the woman got herself knocked up by Zeus himself. My clumsy arse broke my collar-bone one day on a Wonder Woman adventure. Charlie's Angels, Bionic Woman and always Wonder Woman.
(My mom would have gone nuts with us in the house she said) and we would head outside and pretend to be characters from TV shows we adored. Growing up my sisters and I would get thrown out of the house to play. I'm an unapologetic fan-girl of this character.
