One thing that bothered me about this issue was how they talked about Hecate. I know in the mainstream canon, Hecate is a villain. But I've been so spoiled by Kelly Sue DeConnick's portrayal of Hecate as one of the Amazons matron goddesses, that I found that her being referred to as a villain quite jarring.

Oh man, what I would give for an Ultimates-style alternate WW universe that follows Historia canon…
This is entirely greedy considering we only have 2 issues of Historia out of either 3 or a possible 9, but getting Diana’s Odyssey to Hippolyta’s Iliad would be a dream.

Not just the military, but the Army specifically, like Kate's parents. There are similar panels now of Artemis and Kate at the respective funerals holding a folded flag, they have similar visions/hallucinations/dreams of their parents being disappointed in them... it was very odd reading this issue.

Does anyone else feel like they got Cassie and Donna reversed as far as Donna embodying empathy and Cassie embodying courage? It feels more appropriate for the one whose primary traits are that she is empathetic and human would embody empathy and the one who has never been afraid to run headfirst into danger to represent courage.
But then there's also the problem of Donna acting like a straight up Amazon in this. She should be significantly more... modern than she sounds here. There's very little difference in Donna's voice and Artemis's, which shouldn't be the case at all. She should sound more like an older, more mature Cassie, even if she's angry. Her origin being her original origin with this take on her personality just don't work at all.
