I expect given what I've read he...Nice review. I expect given what I've read here I may have more problems with the changes that Morrison has made than you did, but I'm a curmudgeon.<br /><br />I remain consistently surprised that nobody picks up on the fact that according to myth Hippolyta is the daughter of Ares and yet she eventually rejects war and founds an island paradise where there is no war. And in Marston's original vision she explicitly is a follower of Venus. There's a huge mine of story there about the daughter of War turning against him and embracing Love - and raising here daughter to be a champion for Love against the evils of War - and yet it flies right under the radar.<br /><br />(As an aside - how much better would Azzarello's take have been had Diana been the daughter of Hippolyta and Hera instead of Zeus? There's a story nobody's ever told before.)Jerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10060430253113856206noreply@blogger.com
