Wonder Woman’s adventures through the Sphere of the Gods continue as she embarks on a quest with the cunning Ratashok to search for answers. Something is changing the rules of the Norse afterlife, and it’s up to our hero to set things right. Now she must face warriors and beasts of mythic proportions, starting with the Nidhogg! Can our Amazon Princess survive this staggering serpent?
Meanwhile, in a seemingly simpler time in our hero’s life, a younger Diana continues her journey to uncover the secret behind the scriptures that hold the hidden history of Themyscira. Is she ready for the truth? Or will it change her perception of “paradise” forever?
This is the first comic I have been truly excited for in ages. And I loved it.
The first Issue already showed a welcome shift into a mystical and fantastic direction for Diana. The second Issue of Cloonan’s and Conrad’s run brings much the same and ramps up the fun. Ratatosk is used more. The intrigue continues. An old enemy appears. This Odin, I absolutely love. The art has improved just a tad more and the colors are positively vibrant. Apart from nit-picks, the main story brings everything to Wonder Woman I love to see. I am looking forward to how Cloonan and Conrad will write Diana once she has regained her full memory.
The backup story gets into the meat of things too. I am grateful that this exploration of Amazon history is in continuity. I can’t wait to see what awaits us. The shift to an all-ages story is less surprising this time around and I think both stories enhance each other.
