Wonder Woman 031

> “CHILDREN OF THE GODS” part one! Spinning out of the pages of DC UNIVERSE REBIRTH and JUSTICE LEAGUE: DARKSEID WAR, legendary writer James Robinson (JSA: THE GOLDEN AGE, STARMAN) comes on board to answer one of the biggest questions of the year: Who is Wonder Woman’s brother? Taken away from Themyscira in the dead of night, the mysterious Jason has been hidden somewhere far from the sight of gods and men…but his life and Wonder Woman’s are about to intersect in a terrifying way, bringing them face to face with a cosmic threat they never imagined! Don’t miss the start of the next great Wonder Woman epic!

Oh no they di'n't! ...Damn. Oh yes they did.

They killed Hercules Unbound! In his first issue back! Argh!

Sure, it might be misdirect but his energy is now in Kid Darkseid so that's unlikely. Or, he could just be brought back but with the finality of this death then where's the incentive to stick around for those fans of his? And, DC just gives up their copy of a Marvel cashcow? Well, there is the in media res first page foreshadowy tease.

Anyways, it was an interesting set up story with pretty good art. Good to see Grail back and surprising to see Darkseid is hitting puberty again as a growing boy! Say what?! How did that happen? (Hmm... how long ago did Marvel do this with their Zeus?) The aftermath scene with Diana and Steve was pretty generic after Wonder Woman defeated Giganta (disappointingly) with one punch at the end of a fight that started sometime BEFORE this issue. Curious to see that the Amazon is the beneficiary of Herc's estate. Guess we'll learn if they were aquainted in the new Rebirth canon.
