    Wonder Woman’s magic act…banned!

The team seeks refuge in the only place they can think of: Detective Chimp’s inherited, magical realm of Myrra—but not everyone is happy to bow to the new Nightmaster! So how can things get worse for the sorcery super-team? One word: dragons!

    I wonder could it be Zeus?

    Huh. I'd have hoped that Wilson had chosen to explore more "grounded" adventures instead of bringing back the Olympian gods immediately.

    Not that bringing back the Olympians is bad, but right now Wonder Woman seems to be stuck in high-mythology, high-magic, and world-at-stakes stuff, both in her own title and in JLD. I'd hope the DC editors would try to get some more variety in the challenges. On the other hand, "Steve is in trouble" is nearly always a good storyline.

    Given that Tynion referenced A League of One in the first JLD, I imagine the team is in for a challenge. Or will be it exeunt, pursued by a dragon?

    Since Wilson listed Rucka as an influence, I hope her take on Ares is similar to the one in his first run. If we have to have an untrustworthy and villainous Ares, that's what I'd like.

    Ugh, I immediately thought of Zeus, the only other Olympian we know who will be dead soon is Poseidon and it seems pointless to resurrect him right away. Hopefully she can utilize Zeus and the parentage in a less obnoxious way than Robinson, but that's a low bar so I'm not too worried.

    Surprised to see Grail back already, guess they are determined to make her a longtime WW villain.

    I still feel that they haven't actually shown why Grail should be in her rogue gallery.

    Hmmmm... I remain optimistic and excited to read Wilson's arc, but I must admit I'm a little disappointed she seems to be focusing on mythology and resurrecting Olympians - more than likely Zeus. I know this is a first arc, but I was hoping to see more of Wondy's human/metahuman rogues. I especially would love to see what Wilson would do with Psycho. Again, I remain optimistic, but I wish the first arc didn't seem it was exclusively focusing on Gods and mythology.

    Maybe Wilson will be able to make Grail interesting? Here's hoping!

    Doubtful. I'm betting she's just a blip in the story since it's primarily about Ares.

    I dunno. I respect the opinion of those who are tired of the gods, but I rather like them when writers get creative with them. Which is what I hope Wilson plans to do. I'm also curious to know what type of role Grail plays in all of this. I hope she's not just immediate fodder for the reborn Ares. Still think she has potential as a character. I still think it would be a good idea to turn her into an anti-hero while Ares goes back to being the classic bad guy.

    Stop trying to make Grail happen, she's not happening.

    Nonsense. Tell that to Black Hand. Lots of characters have been left twisting in the wind for decades and the right writer found a role for them.

    Hope she does a better job with Grail than Robinson did. Won’t be hard. I’m lukewarm about Ares being a villain again but at least now the title has a direction.

    I feel the same. But if Wilson wants to try so be it. Grail could serve as a “evil mirror” type foe like how Bane does for Bats and Zod does for Supes. I’d have been fine leaving her forgotten in that tree with Ares.
