I loved The Contest! Its definitely one of my all-time favorite Artemis tales.
People complain about Mike Deodato’s art, but as far as my four eyes can tell, he drew Diana and Artemis as two fiercely beautiful, ass-kicking heroes who were both worthy of the Wonder Woman mantle. I don’t really see an issue with the art.
I wish Artemis: Requiem was available on DCUI, as it was her next grand (in my eyes, at least) adventure after The Contest.
Not sure if I’ll read Artemis: Wanted when it comes out or on DCUI, as I trimmed the WW books off my pull list recently, but either way, I’m sure it will be an interesting tale, especially if it were to set up a solo gig for Artemis.
Yeah, it can be pretty surprising what is and isn’t digitized at times. I recall being rather frustrated and having to hunt down a physical copy of Wonder Woman #0, the first issue of William Messner Loebs issue because it was the only one not digitized or collected into a trade. (something which was only rectified at the beginning of this year.)
I see a conversation about Artemis: Requiem! I don’t own a lot of single issues anymore, but I have all the issues of that particular one. It is pretty good. I wish it was digitized so others could find it. Maybe we need to ask the digitizing Gods over in that forum for it. It isn’t that long. If they had continued with what she was doing, she would have had a great place in the DCU and been more aligned with Constantine or more demon aligned characters if I remember correctly.
i could have sworn that was revealed to have been one of the Bana who got chewed out by Artemis for being a dummy
was that in the annual or that one ‘wonder woman special’…
I thought the difference was in the same book. Unless I missed it. There is also a Hercules/Herakles variation that I noticed, but that would make this nitpick much less good natured than intended.
As I was searching, I was reminded about the visions Diana was having as Antiope. It seemed to be more of a vehicle to drive Diana and her mother apart, then to add to the story. I did like the implied consequences of Diana’s lineage (something that was more directly addressed in Wonder Woman: Year One).
Spelling variants and Greek vs. Roman names is such a constant I almost don’t notice it anymore. Still, I wonder if we approach characters differently depending on which spelling/naming convention is used.
