Woman Woman# 42 Solicit

[Aula_Magna]

Gorgeous. "Where do you need me?" Lead on, Diana.

If there's something wrong with Fabok's design is that 'Eagle' head. That can be weaponized against Diana by anyone competent enough.

It can't stab Wonder Woman in any way I can imagine. It's a beautiful cover by the way

[Aula_Magna]

Does anyone know if and why there's no Justice League Gods and Monsters: Wonder Woman instalment in July?

[Dr. Poison]

Let's say they are exactly the same. Why use two words?

For variety's sake.

[numberthirty]

So, doesn't sound like any progress on fixing Donna or the Amazons.

The Finches better have a freaking miracle hidden up their sleeves for the Annual, or I won't be touching this crap.

On this, it would require some sort of a complete about face from issue number forty-one's solicit to even start to "fix" Donna or the Amazons.

Who's the blonde, with the guns and the H's, all over himself?

Guesses -

- The party behind the recent attacks on the island.
- The new Olympian Deathstroke will be going after.
- Eros?

Pants on Wonder Woman is a crime.

Prince Hippolytos?

[numberthirty]

For kicks, I would be willing to wager a small box of jellybeans that it will not be Prince Hippolytos.

But would you be willing to bet that DC wouldn't supply a raid-concieved brother to Diana?

[numberthirty]

Hmm...

That seems interesting. You would be taking the "it's possible" and I would be taking "No way, Jose!"?

Maybe a son of Ares? I'm guessing that someone is going to challenge Wonder Woman for the right to be War; it just seems like a good reason for Diana to suddenly decide to travel to War's realm and learn how to do the job. And this could be why someone attacked Paradise Island using Ares' birds--they wanted to create the impression that being War was dangerous for Diana's people, so that she might be willing to yield the role, if there's a way to make that possible.

One of Ares' sons would be a logical candidate to want to claim the throne of War. This wouldn't necessarily exclude any of numberthirty's guesses, including Eros; I've always thought Eros might turn out to be Ares' son, though raised by Heph as his own.

Or, if not one of Ares' kids, here's an outside-the-box kind of guess (on which I would not be willing to bet even a single jellybean, but it's still fun to speculate):

PERSES was the Titan god of destruction. He was the father of Hekate--his one and only child--by the goddess Asteria ("the Starry One").

Pretty obscure, and could be too much like the First Born, depending on how he's fleshed out--but the titan of destruction, if somehow freed from Tartarus (maybe in chaos following the fall of Hades?), seems a likely candidate to want to take over the War business. And since he's supposed to be the father of Hecate, this could be a natural followup to the Finches' first arc.

To differentiate him from the First Born, he could be a different kind of Destruction--one who destroys for the sheer perverse joy of destruction, rather than out of hatred and bitterness, and with panache and cunning, rather than unbridled fury.

Another possibility along these lines could be Pallas:

PALLAS was perhaps the Titan-god of warcraft. His name, like the title of the goddess Athene, was thought to derive from the word pallô, meaning "to wield or brandish a spear." He was appropriately the father of four warlike gods : Nike (Victory), Kratos (Power), Bia (Force), and Zelos (Rivalry). Meanwhile his wife Styx appears to represent the most binding oaths of military allegiance--for by her stream the gods were said to have sworn their unbreakable allegiance to Zeus at the beginning of the Titan-War....In the story of the Titan-War, Athene vanquished him in battle, and crafted her stormy aigis (goat-skin) shield from his skin.

Maybe he managed to return from Tartarus when his killer, Athena, went dormant for a couple of decades. If he was "the Titan-god of warcraft," it seems obvious that he'd want his realm back. Maybe (in the New 52) he controlled Ares' birds before Ares did, and that's why he was able to manipulate them into attacking the Amazons.

And here I thought Pallas was one of Poseidon's (or possibly it was Triton) kids Athena killed by accident, and kept the name as a reminder.
