Interesting that we are still getting Azello versions of some of the Gods. The mixture seems weird.
It will go away at some point. Hopefully, within the span of our lifetimes and humanity isn't wiped out by climate change.
Look at how fast they are undoing the damage Heroes In Crisis did to Wally West.
I've met people who aren't familiar with Wonder Woman mythology who watched the movie and thought it's depiction of Zeus didn't make sense and thought killing off the Gods was a waste. It's only Hollywood execs who think that people will buy into this idea of Zeus as this benevolent figure, most general audiences are aware that Zeus is basically the Harvey Weinstein of the Gods and mock attempts to recast him any other way. People will accept change if they think it's sensible or more emotionally affecting.

Wasn't Ares off doing his own thing at the end of that arc by Wilson? He probably just wasn't there or didn't know the gods died (or didn't care, I mean, he didn't show up when his wife was butchered ).
I think he was referenced as being killed in the previous issue by Janus.
Though I thought this dude from that Tartarus page in the previous issue may have been him since it kind of looks like he looked in Wilson's run.
I think it is very likely that this team has a particular story in mind with Ares, because it is rare that in the resurrection of the Gods he does not have a more prominent presence.
I picked up my copy of the issue today.
Overall this two parter was a step down from the Asgard arc, but still good. And I liked this issue more than the last one. I liked seeing Diana resolve a conflict with her wits in a neat way with the Tolkein-ish riddles. And it was also cool seeing the Gods in their New 52 designs, before morphing into the Rebirth iterations, establishing that their appearances are fluid and allow for any previous or new design to be used. I didn't like that beyond Owl woman Athena making a brief cameo, Athena and Aphrodite didn't play any role in this. But of course Zeus did, though if we have to have it I like how it was executed here: he had faith in her, and she wasn't looking for anything from him and didn't need it.
Can't wait to see the elves/fairies. I hope Queen Moonbeam from the Golden Age makes an appearance!
I can’t believe they made me like an issue with Zeus. Ugh.
This was all about the “wisdom of Athena” coming through! Ha!
I don’t know much (nothing really) about Deadman, but he had some great dialogue. “Of course you made friends with everyone in Asgard. That’s what you do.”
I guess I’m in the minority who thinks this issue was better than last month’s.

“You see…the rest of them are soldiers. But [Wonder Woman] is an artist.”
I only support the made of clay origin.
