I was kind of excited by the idea of G. Willow Wilson on Wonder Woman when it was first announced. Every issue of her Ms. Marvel that I read contained at least one pearl of wisdom and Wonder Woman sounds like the ideal character for a book like that. I've been swithering on sticking with it as the bits that don't appeal (mythical creatures lost in our world) were given more time than either Diana or the bits that I really enjoyed (Gods lost in our world).

I'm going to post more on the the "new" Ares later on, because he's absolutely fascinating. The whole idea of "What if the god of war became the god of a "just" war?" makes him as interesting as "reformed Megatron".

However, Ares isn't the only god kicking around. Aphrodite and Nemesis have already made their presence felt and now Aphrodite's child Atlantiades turns up in Love is a Battlefield
