So she likes losers ?

Review for Wonder Woman #2.

The Story: Eris plots with Hera. Diana, Zola and Hermes get to Paradise Island and they get attacked by Eris.

The Good: I really enjoy seeing gods scheme, here we have a woman scorned one to many times by her husband and she wants to take her revenge on Zeus by hitting on his latest conquest with the help of one their many children, it's like family drama turned up to 100. I really enjoy Zora, as Diana says she is the girl lost in the middle of nowhere, we found her in a forest in the middle of nowhere and she seems to not know what she wants life, she regularly sleeps with a bunch of different guys because she can and she likes it, now im no expert but to me this seems to be an woman who is empowered and also just a little confused about what she needs. We also get to see Paradise Island and the relationship with the Amazons, is seems they make fun of Diana because this doesn't seem like the first time she did something stupid. Also I really liked that Azzarello didn't put the origin in the first issue and only addressed it when he needed to and not to put it for the benefit of the new readers. Chiangs art continues to be very simplistic yet is very dynamic, I love his two page spread with Diana vs another Amazon, you got to see how well the fight evolved.

The Bad: Needs a bit more WW.

The Verdict: Azzarello continues a fine job of establishing everything WW while continuing a very interesting story with the gods. And the art is beautiful. This is a buy.

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...
