That much effort to get into Dianas mind - I liked. Psycho has to work overtime to warp her.

Okay so if 80,000 tons is the weight of the Monument itself (but it's more than that, King used a low ball estimate) and using the gravitational acceleration on Earth then F = mass x acceleration = 91,000,000 kg x 9.8 m/s^2. So that's a F on Diana's end of a **** ton (no pun intended haha). But it's not free falling, it's being slammed down by a juiced up giant so that would increase the the force of impact. She basically withstood and completely stopped the equivalent of the impact several nuclear bombs. What the hell else do you want haha?
With the angler now being related to the Anti-Life equation my guess is it was supposed to help by amplifying Dr. Psycho's powers to make Diana docile/immovable so she wouldn't fight back or resist. With Diana's resistance to mind control they probably needed both to be able to affect her.
It irks me to admit that, after hating everything else he has written, King's Wonder Woman is a Goddess! and Chef's kisses delectable. I loveloveLOVED!!! it (as I have quite enjoyed the other five that came before.) This issue was exquisitely-rendered gorgeousnessity from start to finish.
One thing that stumps me though is the time where-in the events of this story is being told. Incarcerated Old King Cole is telling the story to Trinity so here I'm thinking it occurred in the very recent past, okies, coolz...but he says: "All we can say all these years later is that she...she was Wonder Woman, and that was quite enough." Which begs the question...Just how long ago did this story arc unfold? Did I miss a timestamp somewhere in one of the earlier issues?
Or...is the story actually occurring in our present but is being told many, many years later to Trinity? I'm a tad confused.
That one panel of Donna(?) kidnapping Steele is most intriguing for when/where it is shown.

For the glory of Gaea, that art!!!! Absolutely stunning linework, action choreo, page design, and use of color. That panel in which Diana and Grail were yellow silhouettes against a bright red background was the most Wonder Woman comic book thing I have seen in a WW comic in a LONG time, and it gave me life. I loved how the Grail/Diana was so...tactile in the way it showcased every sinewy muscle, every mighty punch and every rivulet of blood on both women. There were many things about the writing that I didn't necessarily like, but whatever, the visuals for this issue made up for everything else. Sucks that we have to wait two months for the next issue.
As for Trinity, I am blissfully non-interested in that story after reading the first two installments, so I didn't even bother.
Those splash pages sent me!!! In fact...every page sent me!!! Stunnsational work by Sampere and Co.

What does people think about Diana punching Swan? I kinda thought it was to fast, but I also understand it since she was under attack by what she thought was two threats. I see people on Twitter say it was weird she tried to talk out Giganta, but not Swan. I thought as I said that was ok since she had to think fast and believed now she was attacked by both Giganta and Swan. I mean Swan was cloaked by magic and then surprise attacked her by slamming her into the monument.
