    I like King's mini's more than I like his ongoings, but I'll check this out non-the-less.

    If they approach The Amazons having different houses like in Historia or LoWW, the basic concept can work.

    The gods are already a group of ancient, scheming, backstabbing, interfering assholes... Why drag the Amazons into this when it goes against the basic core of the story and you already have another set of characters that basically could have that role?

    You can have conflict amongst one another in 3000 years. It isn't the first time we've seen Amazons turn on their people.

    Not to mention that the island could be invaded by some super natural force.

    I agree! I would also want a Cheetah with white hair and a more sadistic Dr. Poison design.

    I would definitely like to see Dr. Poison look more like she did during Eric Luke and Phil Jimenez's runs. Keep the face scar but she also needs her cowl, crazed smile, and eye emblem.

    The Matthew Clark (Eric Luke) Dr. Poison design is ICONIC.

    I agree about Doctor Poison, but more important than her design, it's the gimmick from that run that matters. She created liquid curses by using science to dissect the cadaver of gods and mythical creatures.

    But, then, it kills what Paradise Island should be about. I use should be because in All-Star Comics #8, Marston wrote Hippolyte mentioning that their weapons are better than the men's world. If you're going to constantly show the Amazons are in some form of strife or is basically hypocrites, what's even the point anymore? Like, I'm okay showing them having a troubles every so often, only for them to overcome it. Proving that Paradise Island is a beacon of hope, that humanity can reach this point. But yeah, there's no point in creating these ideas of that this is what humanity can do if we strive for it. I guess this a casualty of writers wanting the Amazons more like the myths instead of keeping them aligned with Marston's vision (minus the weapons).

    Yes, this! Writers should keep building on this as it makes her unique in the world of super-villains. Her sadistic personality in Luke & Jinemez's runs also stood out to me.

    There's a difference between constantly having issues and having issues every couple of hundreds or thousands of years. If they did a 5 year war, thats a small fraction in the Amazons time on the island and doesn't kill what the island is about.

    We didn't have anyone mad with what Historia did with the island and there are times they go to war throughout WWs history.

    It should be noted that the Amazons' war was not with each other in Historia.
