Amazons Appreciation 2024

[Fuzzy Mittens]

I believe it was used in Orlandos run?

lemme look into my wonderlibrary with this one!

So, it kept appearing a little number of times more:

-First Rucka's run, amazons were using it to heal Io after she was attacked by Ares
-Second Rucka's run, not a ray, but some kinda "purple bath" is used to heal Steve Trevor wounds during Year One

Did a quick visual overview on Orlando's issues, but couldn't find anything, so I supose that if the purple ray appeared, it was just mentioned? there may be other non-Wondy canon comics too

Converting the healing abilities of the Purple Ray into a death-beam is kinda dope in scary-type of way. The Amazons incorporating "modern" tech into their military is something I think we need more of.

Has there ever been any non binary Amazons?

Galenthias, another great addition to the WW mythos that was discarded or ceased to exist once the writer or continuity changed.


Who are the central Amazons that should remain around despite whomever is writing the book?

Hmmmmm.

Hippolyte and Philippus (who is not replaced by Antiope or any other just because the actress is admired by the director or wtf ever)
Nubia, Diana's Twin sister
Donna Troy, with all the origins we know and love; I embrace the chaos and dysfunction
Euboeia, Niobe, Penelope, Pythia (Julia's spiritual Mom), Venelia, Mala, Bahgda.

Artemis of the Bana. Io, forge mistress.

I do like a number of the spicier new Amazons as well.

Basically the crew that rolled with her for like ever prior to superhero adventure era that Byrne started.

Why can't we get Phil back as a writer, is there some kind of reason? His ideas and worldbuilding were so epic in scope. I miss his love for the mythos, you could really tell he cared.

[DisneyBoy]

I can't help but wonder if creators are burned out by the process of working with a major publisher, to the point that they never feel comfortable revisiting a character after their first run. There are so few creators that ever come back, even when they do great work.

...or maybe it's that DC gives everyone only one shot at a run, and once you've had your run, you're out, you're yesterdays news, it's someone else's chance or whatever.

Question: Is Euboea still an Amazon shown or featured in the books? The Asian one who was the great swimmer, with the green toga?

[DisneyBoy]

I flipped through the Wonder Woman issue during the Byrne run where they show the Amazons counting and burning their dead in the aftermath of...a war with Darkseid? Or something. It's gruesome.

How many Amazons are butchered in big events during the Post Crisis, pre Nu52 run?

In terms of huge battles with casualties there was:

1) The Battle with Herakles
2) The Byrne battle I just mentioned (Darkseid related?)
3) The Civil War
4) The Imperiex/Our Worlds At War battle (shown above)

Wonder how much those battles depleted the Amazonian ranks.

The 1st one saw half the remaining Amazons go off with Antiope, right?

Her resemblance to certain Weather-Witch is... uncanny.

Great scans!

I would love for the Lansinarian/morphing tech to make a come back for the Amazons. I always thought it was something unique and think that in some ways, it can be for Themyscira what vibranium is for Wakanda.

They have certainly taken some losses although its never quite stated just how many. These days, whenever Themyscira (or even Atlantis or Gorilla City) is showcased, I expect them to experience some casualties.

The artwork for this series is amazing. The way the Olympians and the Amazons are portrayed is great.

Yeah, Raynor must have really liked that Amalgam comics story where Storm became an Amazon.
