So there's Steve! And properly shirtless

Not much to say about the plot yet, but it seems that Wilson isn't wasting time in setting up both this arc and the next mini-arc (with Steve as a captive to Aphrodite).

As for art, it feels like Nord has trouble handling Diana. He did well with sexy and playful Diana in the first issue, but has struggled with her since. The way he poses Ares exudes power and confidence; not so much with Diana.

I'm really not feeling the art. I wish he drew more like he did when he was drawing Mutant X back in the day. Ah well...

"Kinswoman" seems like a weird thing to call your half-sibling when your trying to get on good terms with them. Guess Wilson is avoiding talking about the New 52 origin.

[Dr. Poison]

The art is still underwhelming with the exception of Ares. The artist seems to be putting the most work and detail into him. I kind of like Ares' "Wonder Man" costume but I hope this doesn't play out like a similarity to the recent Jason storyline. A child of Zeus who is "more powerful than Diana" trying to make up for their mis-deeds.

I don't think she is, in the last line Diana seems to be questioning if he's even her half-brother. Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but we already know Wilson likes the clay origin.

So far the most interesting part are the Olympians trapped on our world. Their banter was really cute.

Funny how Ares looks like Chris Pine....especially that panel where you see just his eyes/nose.

Its just a fancy way to describe a family member. I'd say its an attempt to mimic old fashioned speech, which a lot of Wonder Woman authors have done since the Bronze Age.

I'm liking it so far! Mythological creatures in a Wonder Woman? Go figure! I think this is the first time we've seen a dryad/nymph in the series?

Moeller had nymphs in JLA: A League of One, and I wouldn't be surprised if others have used them as well. And according to some sources (or interpretations), Circe is also a nymph.

(Of course, in my headcanon the Amazons of Themyscira are nymphs of civilisation, just as the dryads are nymphs of the forest.)

Well, I guess Ares isn't possessing Steve. It's still weird that he went from brunette to blonde.

The art continues to underwhelm, but the writing continues to be intriguing. I wonder why all those creatures decided to take Steve hostage? What does Aphrodite have to do with them?

I think she's more unsettled that Ares, the embodiment of everything she stands against, thinks there are similarities between them.

I’m not in the least surprised that G. Willow Wilson reimagined Ares the embodiment of War as a blond blue-eyed WASP male, I would've been more surprised if she hadn't

As for the art, I'm not blown away by it but I don't hate it either, I'll take Nord over Jesus Merino any day

Ares being blond under the helmet isn't a "reimagining" by Wilson...

Ares is protestant?

[OBrianTallent]

While I dont mind Nord's work...having the Dodsons on the covers and not the interiors is so disheartening.
