Wonder Woman #4

What is it Zola does that allows her to romp all over with the Gods and not give a shit about her life back home? She seemed to have been living on a farm. It had horses. Now it has Centaurs. There were fields of corn.

Was she just a farmer sleeping with every truck driver, rock star, or God who made his way through her little shitty town? Did she tie up any loose ends before Diana, Hermes and her made their way to Paradise Island? Did she even have any loose ends?

How did they get to Paradise Island? Does Wonder Woman have an invisible jet?

And I'd still like to know why Wonder Woman is living in London.


War and Apollo

And now that Wonder Woman, Zola, and Hermes are traveling with Strife, will they ever have a moment's peace?



Oh, well I guess Diana takes care of that! It's as if pissing Wonder Woman off is Strife's power! I think it's her name. It probably puts people on the defensive and they expect you to cause trouble.

So Strife threatens Zola's baby, perhaps seriously, perhaps jokingly. Whichever it was, Wonder Woman doesn't take kindly to it and puts a champagne glass through Strife's hand. Strife suddenly isn't having fun anymore and leaves.

So Wonder Woman has definitely made an enemy of Strife. Is a God a bad enemy to have? Hermes seemed to think he was dying in the first issue when the Centaurs shot him with an arrow and stripped him of one of his feathers. But Diana claimed they had done 'the impossible'. And since Hermes didn't die, is it in fact impossible to kill a God in this DC Universe?

I'm betting we'll definitely find out in this series.

It's obviously possible to kill a demi-God, a child born of God and mortal. Or else Hera wouldn't bother hunting down all the little Bastards Zeus has left scattered will-he, nil-he across the ends of the Earth.

I still think Zola is pregnant with Zeus.

Speaking of Zola, she blah blah blahs a little back story to Wonder Woman after they get home from clubbing. So her dad is in prison for doing something really bad. Her mother is dead. And she apparently only lived at home, in that farmhouse, because she had never left. So now that she's off on an adventure, she'll never go back!

I wonder if she's any good with a Staff or telling stories?

Oh! And another one of my questions was answered later in the comic. Although it would have been answered earlier if I'd been paying attention. Hermes' staff can teleport people. That's why it teleported Zola to Diana in Issue #1 in the first place. Except he had shrunk it down so it sort of looked like a key. Although it was still all Hermes' twisted serpent symbol and shit. In this Issue, Wonder Woman uses it to return to Paradise Island after Zola's confession makes her rethink how she reacted on Paradise Island. So mystery solved!

But is it really a mystery when I just plain missed what was right there all along? Has that ever happened to the Scooby Gang?

And the answers just keep on coming!



Apparently the Gods can be killed by another God. Or demi-God. So Wonder Woman won't have to go through a whole Twilight of the Gods deal with a Messiah just to slaughter them all.

Oh, and when Wonder Woman returns to Paradise Island, she finds all of the Amazons have been transformed into snakes (like the Cover of #3!) and Hippolyta turned into a clay statue. So she's probably got several bones to pick with Hera.

I'll just close this post on a nice bit of transposed wisdom on fate from War:
