Wondy 33

Four pages from today's Wondy.

So, the sea monsters from the preview attack the island. The amazons fight back. Ares shows up.



WHUT. She won't kill Genocide, but she will kill Ares? She can kill Ares? Since when? He's the god of war. The whole point of him is that he outclasses her as much as Clark outclasses Jim Gordon.

They're on Thalarion at this point, and Zeus shows up and is all "be a wife and mother, and oh I killed Kane."





When WML does a better Polly than Gail, something is badly wrong with the universe.



... yeah.

On the plus side, I've had to cut back on luxuries recently and I've been waffling over what titles to cut, and this makes that decision easier at least..

I'd say "They haven't proven themselves to be violenetly insane" but Bruce has had his moments and Tim isn't looking to good at the moment.

Generally, when I see a heroic character following an negative or even villainous leader, my brain usually jostles between "Something's up in that relationship" or "That hero must be a goddamn idiot."

The later only occurs when the former does not (though I bet there are other alternatives that I haven't thought of ATM).

I'd rather see a character filter orders through their own morality than mindlessly follow. Especially from a flawed source. One of my favorite films, Ran does a great job with that when a Samurai is ordered to kill and bring back the head of a young Buddhist nun the Daimyo's wife feels is a threat to her (because she's evil). He instead says he did it but brings back the severed head of a Fox Statue and says "She must have been a Kitsune who tricked me!". The cultural background gives it levels of awesome.

You seem to making the same failure in distinction here that Diana is. Zeus != the Patrons.

Given that one of her patrons is dead and the others are generally forced to cow to the whim of Zeus in most affairs, it's a pretty safe bet to distance yourself from the whole lot.

I mean (I wait for trade so I really don't know), did they raise objection to his replacement Amazons? Even if they did, it did not prevent the attempt.

Point is, it's doubtful she can trust the system anymore.
