If ten years of recording The Young and the Restless for my mother have taught me anything, it's that characters in serial dramas are always happily in love...until they're not

Was it 2 panels of the book? 3? I finished it 2 minutes ago and can't even remember.
Tried to stop is just another way of saying failed to stop. And if we thought Hercules was nerfed in the first part of the story, he is completely humiliated here with a dempowered water bender stalemating the enemy that killed Herc easily.

lol...I could not agree more..to say the very least, her daughter Athena could have advised him. And Zeus just stood there and let Darkseid drain him? He could have used the power Darkseid wanted from him and crushed him instead or to say the very least teleport himself away. He is a god that can pretty much do anything ..lol..even Diana took longer to drain. As I've said, if Darkseid maybe got some special artifact and surprised Zeus I could see how he could have lost.
TT
Should we expect a Zeus special issue for Father's Day?
No seriously, this is just rubbish. If Darkseid can drain the energy from any god, why hasn't he done it before? Might have saved him a few Kryptonian ass-woopings, to say the least.
Oh, that reminds me - thank you Mr Robinson for actually pointing on the page that we have yet to see a story where Diana lays the smack down on DS the way Superman has, and right before he shows up too. Even when he only appears in two panels and doesn't say anything, Superman still subverts Wonder Woman's importance to the story. Diana standing there telling him she is going to give him a beating doesn't sound impressive - more like the empty threats of a little girl out of her depth.
All in all I give this issue a 4 out of 10, and the whole story a 5. It didn't hold my attention and merit rereading, it was largely predictable, had one issue where Diana was a guest star, and the climax...well, wasn't.
Zeus was more impressive in the movie, and that's as a dead guy appearing in a 60 second flashback.

I don't recall Superman being mentioned by name once. This issue doesn't refer to anything about him and his personal history with Darkseid (whatever it may or may not be in this continuity), nor anyone else's. Thus the narrative does absolutely zero to reasonably allow the reader to draw any comparison to Superman. Its one thing to not like that its been confirmed that to date she's never had a one-on-one with the villain. But that the idea that this little nugget of information even slightly correlates on any narrative level to a brief and unspoken cameo of Superman along with the rest of the League that actually reflects negatively on Diana is absolutely baffling.

There should be a mini-series wherein all of the Titans, Olympians, Demi-Gods, and mythological creatures of Olympus pays a little visit to Apokalips. Indeed, Zeus was more impressive in the movie, it just took one lightning bolt from him to separate the mother boxes.
Terrible potrayal of WW god's ...not worthy of Olympian grandeur...lol

This is exactly what should happen and we'll probably never see it. From Azz's run, Hera and Highfather are on good terms, so I could see her working that angle too in order to get some of the New Gods involved.
Also, if Zeus is gone for good, I'm up for Hera dating Highfather. Izaya and Hera deserve some love too and it might be an interesting way to increase the scope of the New Gods.
lol..that would be a great elsewhere issue.
On Darkseid and Zeus battling it out in my city Manila, Philippines:
Esquire Philippines wrote an article explaining that "the idea to set their battle in Metro Manila came from the issue’s writer, James Robinson. Fajardo says that Robinson left it up to them to litter the battle with references."
