Having read the issue, I think it's overall good, though Apollo and Hera are being total douches.
Which is admittedly typical of Hera, but I didn't expect it of Apollo. |
The first issue wasn't what I expected. I thought it might be another reimaging of the character. Instead they went into another direction where Wonder Woman seemly like she was a secondary character and Zola was the primary character. I thought it was an entertaining issue, but lacking something that I can't quite put my figure on yet.

Yea, definitely one of the most action-packed Azzarello books I've read. He's generally a slow burn type writer, but he really just jumped into this. And I think that's the problem, he jumped into it too fast. All this shit is going on, and I'm not sure what's happening.
A bit of a clusterfuck, but a fun clusterfuck. I'm intrigued by what's to come though, which is more than I can say for most of these #1 relaunches. |

2. How is this a "clusterfuck"? There's ONE story and barely anything happens in it. A girl gets attacked, she miraclously gets Wonder Woman's help, and WW saves the day only to find an injured Hermes giving her cryptic messages as he dies. Elsewhere, Apollo uses three loose women as an oracle to find out what his father is up to...and then kills them. |
Anybody else tired of reading about the treachery and betrayal of the Greek Gods and their petty ambitions?
I fucking read D'aulaires as a kid and Homer in High School. *yawn* |
Well yes and no. It's certainly nothing new and even when they wear modern clothing and drink champagne it doesn't make it that much fresher(yet), but that's the interest in writing/reading about Gods though right? That they would use the world like a chess pawns? That part of it still interests me.

I dunno.... maybe it's that way with every character... |

A.) I've read 100 Bullets, so ease up there junior. And most of those stories are slow burns, that develop characters which lead to a action packed climax. B.) "Clusterfuck" meaning that there are all sorts of characters being introduced, but nothing really develops for anything of them. Then you have the action panels, when WW is fighting the centaurs with the Oracles conversing in the captions. Issue just felt like random elements thrown together in a mess.. i.e a clusterfuck. |
How can you say this is one of the most action packed issues you've ever read when half of 100 Bullets was over-the-top violence? Whatever. I don't mean to jump over your feelings, just seemed like really weird comments.

This just feels like another Wonder Woman storyline rather than a relaunch. However, it's starting off much better than the previous one and I'm very certain will end much better as well. |

All I was getting at is he seemed to jump right into the action with this, without building up to it. |
Can someone help me here? Does this issue/arc take place a few years in the past like Action and Justice League do? I thought I read somewhere a month or so ago that it would. Maybe I'm just remembering wrong. Someone set me straight please.

I thought it was interesting that Diana was in a flat in London, which is where she was set up during Flashpoint.

WONDER WOMAN artist Cliff Chiang takes us through the process of designing Hermes with series writer Brian Azzarello.
http://dcu.blog.dccomics.com/files/2011/10/hermes-1.jpg We went through a few different looks for Hermes, starting with a Western look, complete with duster and floppy hat. Brian actually wanted him naked underneath, but I thought it’d make Hermes just look like a creepy guy on the subway. http://dcu.blog.dccomics.com/files/2...-2-231x300.jpg In any case, it didn’t feel mythic enough, so Azz suggested bird feet. I liked the sound of that, and tried incorporating into a second design, with a Japanese motif. We were trying to find analogues for the classic Hermes metal cap, like the one worn by the FTD icon, or the Golden Age Flash. So I tried using a Japanese farmer’s hat. We thought it looked cool, but it didn’t feel new. http://dcu.blog.dccomics.com/files/2...-3-231x300.jpg http://dcu.blog.dccomics.com/files/2...-4-231x300.jpg With versions 3 and 4, we looked more towards avant garde fashion, and I gave him a sort of golden bicycle helmet. With version 4, I liked how weird and tall he was looking, but Brian still had something else in mind. Like an updated doughboy, with some wispy facial hair and a weak chin. I had trouble visualizing it. http://dcu.blog.dccomics.com/files/2...35-225x300.jpg http://dcu.blog.dccomics.com/files/2...5A-231x300.jpg Brian sent me a few sketches, which I incorporated into Hermes’ final design. He’s changed even from this stage, getting taller and more alien-looking. It was important to give Hermes a really distinctive look, since he’s one of the first gods we get a good look at and he’s a crucial member of Wonder Woman’s crew. |
