Wonder Woman Historia: The Amazons (11/30/21) | Book Discussion | Spoilers Ahead!

Glad you found it interesting! I am glad my Pocket Oxford Classical Greek Dictionary is still useful. I couldn’t bear to get rid of my reference books after the internet was born and they are always happy to be needed again after all these years. :laughing:

First, just finished reading and this is the soundtrack . Plz enjoy.

Like the last issue, I ended up slowing way down to read. There was a lot to process/set up in Book 1, but this one was a bit easier, and…it’s gorgeous—everything about it, imo. So far, I’m very impressed w/ this series, to say the least. Really looking forward to the next book. It’s going to be a looong wait. I wish they didn’t delay BL books and keep spacing them out this way, but that’s okay - it’s worth the wait. :wondersquadron1: :black_heart:

:raised_hands: I hope so.

And thank you for the info @SteveTrevor2.0 :star_struck::purple_heart:

@SteveTrevor2.0 Right?! :star_struck: They’re beautiful and I can’t choose! I may end up with both—we’ll see. :laughing:

Hey there, @Belen.17602! :wave: Welcome! Sometimes I have this habit of putting off finishing a book when I don’t want it to end :see_no_evil: so I think I get what you mean. The good news is we can always read it again tho. :purple_heart:
Thanks for coming by—don’t be a stranger!

I jumped on this at just the right time. I do not have to wait too long for the next installment.

I like the parallel to the Perez origin. I will confess starting the Wonder Squad’s Perez book club assignment right after reading the first installment (i think that’s how it played out) did not hurt at all. More on that in the appropriate thread.

I also like the parallel of where the Amazons come from. The change up with Hecate seems to be more about the Amazons themselves vs. Diana’s abilities.

I am curious to see the formation of the Bana Mighdall in this Historia.

Hippolyta is a brunette.

You are very welcome. blonde vs brunette Hippolyta (HippolytE in the early days of the Perez run) is very 50-50.

I read Book 3 today. This conclusion was definitely worth the wait. Beautiful, heartbreaking, occasionally downright gruesome…but truly an amazing mythological epic in comic form.

Something that made me particularly happy was the fact that, as Nicola Scott is the artist in this issue, her art of Hippolyta and the Themiscyran shoreline looked just like her renditions of them in Year One.

And of course, the final pages gave us the payoff we all were waiting for. (Well, I was, anyway. :pleading_face:)

I look forward to owning the hardcover of this one day, assuming they make one. :blue_heart:

What is the current origin of wonder woman ? I already lost track and I tend to just fall back on the bronze age origins. I particularly like the simple wonder girl origin of the Lynda Carter tv show. Bronze age was a simpler time with simpler origins when all amazons had powers.

Just got it and read all three of them in one sitting. What an epic tale! The art was so gorgeous and the story was so well written. One of my new favorites.
