Lets talk lineup.
So leading the group will obviously be Nubia whose displayed levels of super strength rivaling Big Barda. With that magic spear Io made for her that can turn into a whip and do the mind meld thing.
Then we have Yara who has a similar powerset on top of a pegasus and that silly sword.
Faruka surprises me since shes the only one of these without powers. (Did the Bana Amazons get powers at the end of Trials?) I mean shes good with knives and she has a machine gun, but id think she would have stuff to do, being queen of the Bana Amazons after all. Especially with her co queen Atalanta gone.
And then with the three Amazon tribes represented we get Mary Marvel whose an honorary Amazon who gets her powers from Hippolyta.
This line-up seemed rather head scratcher to me until I thought about it in terms of character dynamics.
Mary is a college student and Yaras a college graduate just a few years older, so those two will probably hit it off.
Faruka has become a fan favorite just because of how much of a huge jerk she can be. I see her sowing alot of tension while also bouncing off of the others in interesting ways.
and Nubias the responsible one whose duty it will be to somehow wrangle them all together with a clear goal in mind.
A four girl band is a good number for a team book thats getting its legs. Im hoping the characterization sells the book.
