WONDER WOMAN #65

art by JESUS MERINO
cover by TERRY DODSON and RACHEL DODSON
variant cover by STANLEY “ARTGERM” LAU
If you asked Wonder Woman who her nemesis is, she might just say Veronica Cale—and now Veronica has the powers of the actual god Nemesis under her control! Some of the resurrected Olympians whom Wonder Woman has encountered have changed in unpredictable ways...is there a crack in Nemesis’ armor that Diana can get through? Or will she miss the chance to redeem yet another of her divine brethren?

Ah, only Nemesis. After the blurb for #64 I was worried Diana would have to deal with the combo of Veronica Cale and Persephone.

Whose Nemesis?

[LordUltimus]

Whose Nemesis?

The Greek goddess.

[SiegePerilous02]

This sounds great. The Olympian gods falling into the wrong hands makes me wonder if some other old foes will encounter them. Nemesis getting acquired by Veronica is fitting. I hope Dr. Cyber shows up, or is at least referenced.

Poseidon or a deity related to him better end up in Queen Clea's clutches.

EDIT: Also, is Nemesis associated with snakes? Or is that shadowed figure somebody else?

[Vordan]

Eh not really feeling how focused on the gods Wilson seems to be. Glad Nord isn’t staying on the book forever though.

Nemesis is at least a face we don't get to see that often, if ever. I can't recall a significant usage of her before this. It's nice to see some Greek deities that aren't just the big name Olympians.

Veronica having Nemesis seems to be the first instance of Wilson (according to her tweet to our own Dr. Poison) "starting out with quite a bit of Greek mythology, but setting it on a collision course with Diana's modern day supporting characters and antagonists." The use of "antagonists" and "old favorites" makes me very hopeful Cale is just the tip of the iceberg. I've grown to love Veronica a great deal more than I used to since Rebirth, but I will be very disappointed if she's all Wilson is talking about. But I don't think she is. Mixing her human cast and villains with the mythology stuff in an organic way is long overdue. Rucka sorta got the ball rolling with Godwatch, but I want more.

Ditto your feelings on Nord though. After a quick Google search, Merino's art looks more pleasing to the eye.

Nemesis was the antagonist in The Odyssey storyline started by JMS right before the New 52 started.

As for Wonder Girl's new look, what a hot mess. Too many colors and random pieces although I suspect this is an homage to Cassie's first costume which was just as bad.

[WonderScott]

I like it and will read it, but I'm ready for the "collision course" with other, ungodly costumed antagonists.

I'm intrigued by the gods dying and being reborn, and why exactly, from Ares tempting of Grail to Cheetah's offing of Poseidon.

I guess all those godly energies need to go somewhere and re-coalesce... I'm not as fascinated with Cale as I once was, but maybe GWW can make her more interesting than Robinson.

Hopefully pairing the gods up with Diana’s “normal” rogues will make for an interesting story, and at least Wilson is using Cale. I don’t know if there are limits to Cheetah and Circe since Cheetah is with the Legion and Tynion seems to be setting up something with Circe in JLD, but I’d really like to see both of them show up in WW proper.

[Fuzzy Mittens]

It has some interesting possibilities. Im not quite sure how a deity could be in someones clutches but if this translates to us getting a bunch of Wonder Womans differing rogues together, im all for it

*checks*

Nemesis has the goose as her sacred animal. Some of her attributes are apple branches, the sword, the lash, and the balance. So even while lots of Greek gods are associated with snakes or serpents, it doesn't seem to be the case for Nemesis.

She hired Circe to perform a binding spell on Deimos and Phobos, I’m curious as to how Veronica’s gonna do it this time around

[LordUltimus]

Also, Cassie's back!

I hope Wilson seizes on the dangling plot thread of Circe needing some of Cale's daughter's blood, and Cale being surprised Circe hasn't come to collect.
