Not shown. But Zeus is back to being an asshole jerk. You think he would had learn something from his death and resurrection.

But nope.

Is he the one making Bruce a man?

[superfangirl1]

It involves a lighting bolt. Basically yeah.

Aphrodite doesn’t usually act like this either. But let’s be honest, consistent characterisation and continuity across runs is more of a privilege than an expectation when it comes to Wonder Woman.

I'm a bit reluctant to mention this, but...there's a prominent writer, now thoroughly disgraced, whose work in comics often dealt with costumed superheroes interacting with gods and supernatural entities. Anyway, this story really feels like it could be a pastiche of, or homage to, that other writer's work, with a few of his favorite story beats and motifs. He even wrote a murder mystery set in a divine realm. I can't guess if it was a deliberate choice by King to emulate that writer or if it was unconscious. Does anyone else see a similarity?
