The most striking thing about this issue is the art. But the mortals still have to pay the price in the fashion of classical Greek tragedy. Rather than a simplistic battle of the sexes, Wonder Woman Historia #3 reads like a nuanced war story with losses and consequences on both sides, with the gods held accountable. While the narrative takes the side of the Amazons, there is still a semblance of humanity and empathy given to the goddesses and the often antagonistic male gods. Wonder Woman Historia #3 has a huge cast, separated into distinct groups - the Amazons, the gods, and the goddesses - making this issue and the overarching story play out like a political drama, but this final issue focuses primarily on the war as the tension that's been building since the beginning erupts in full force.ĭeConnick depicts the Amazons, their heavenly counterparts, and their opponents with subtlety and sympathy. She writes this issue like an epic poem, using an omniscient perspective to give readers a glimpse of what each character is thinking. DeConnick evokes the poetry and writing of ancient Greece to tell this story. When a despairing woman named Hippolyta crossed the Amazons’ path, a series of events was set in motion that would lead to an outright war across heaven and Earth and the creation of Earth’s greatest guardian! Legendary talents Kelly Sue DeConnick, Phil Jimenez, Gene Ha and Nicola Scott unleash a critically lauded and Eisner Award-winning reading experience the likes of which you’ve never seen, with unbelievably sumptuous art and a story that will haunt you.Ĭollects WONDER WOMAN HISTORIA: THE AMAZONS #1-3.Wonder Woman Historia #3 is the origin story of the Amazons that sets the stage for the arrival of Diana.
