Maybe Diana could resurrect Julia’s death, and get rid of Vanessilver Swan. Her role as the SS should never be an ongoing thread for her character arc.

In fact they just dropped Vanessa despite it never been resolved of her being Silver Swan
DC seems committed to Vanessa as the Silver Swan. She is the one reintroduced in Robinson's run, in the animated film, and in the Infinite Legends spread. She also appeared recently in an Agent of Peace issue. I don't think DC is going to get rid of her as Silver Swan.

Wonder Woman's adventures through the Sphere of the Gods continue as she embarks on a quest with the cunning Ratashok to search for answers. Something is changing the rules of the Norse afterlife, and it's up to our hero to set things right. Now she must face warriors and beasts of mythic proportions, starting with the Nidhogg! Can our Amazon Princess survive this staggering serpent?
Meanwhile, in a seemingly simpler time in our hero's life, a younger Diana continues her journey to uncover the secret behind the scriptures that hold the hidden history of Themyscira. Is she ready for the truth? Or will it change her perception of "paradise" forever?
That cover is great. Love the colors, Diana's expression, and, of course, the squirrel. I'm digging that we get two Diana stories so far.
This looks cool.
The squirrel supposed to be anyone or anything notable from Norse myth?
I wondered if they would give Wonder Woman back ups as well considering both Super and Bat books have them. I hope they use them as an opportunity to build up Cassie and Donna as well. Not holding my breath mind you, but hoping.
Cover looks like a Bronze Age homage:

“You see…the rest of them are soldiers. But [Wonder Woman] is an artist.”
I only support the made of clay origin.
The reason Dr. Psycho killed off Julia was so Vanessa could become the permanent Silver Swan. It wasn't "our" Julia anyway but some random new continuity brunette with her name. The Perez stories still happened, the Vanessa everyone loved was eventually cured. The new one is whole other kettle of fish and her merger with Helen Alexandros' ballerina background makes sense and should stand. Personally I want to see what the ramifications are for Dr. Psycho who also had a hand in tainting the original Vanessa.
The art on these books looks phenomenal and I like digging into other mythology with Diana rather than repurposing the Greek gods for the millionth time. Superman is looking shakier with each new interview and solicit, so I'm glad at least Diana's books look interesting. It'd be weird not to be pulling at least one of them, not that it hasn't happened before. :/
