Son of Vulcan was originally asked to be the Roman God's champion, but he declined. With the threat of Wonder Woman stopping her, Circe makes sure she has her hands busy fighting Captain Marvel, under the influence of the Roman Gods, before he destroys the Greek Gods. Unknown to them, it is in fact the sorceress Circe who has led each of them to wage war on each other, so she can destroy the Earth goddess Gaea. While the ancient Roman gods wage war with the Greek gods, the Egyptian, West African, Germanic, Mesopotamian and Thanagarian gods each want to recreate the world in their own images, and attack the superheroes who stand in their way. Worldwide, ancient gods suddenly begin trying to destroy the Earth and each other. Steve Trevor is forced by General George Yedziniak to attack Themyscira an oncoming war is about to begin. With the disappearance of Queen Hippolyta, General Phillipus wounded by gunfire and the death of Hellene, some Amazons are taken into custody. The Amazons are framed for these crimes and public hysteria is whipped up against them.

Circe is responsible for a series of brutal murders that have occurred where various magical artifacts have been stolen. 2) issues #51-57, after the Amazons announced themselves to the world in #50, Circe has been behind the scenes watching Diana's every move. PrologueĪs shown in the Wonder Woman (vol. 2) title following this storyline with #62. It was written and drawn by George Pérez, who would leave the Wonder Woman (vol. Primarily centered on the character Wonder Woman, this storyline was intended to celebrate the character's 50th anniversary. War of the Gods was an American four-issue comic book mini-series published by DC Comics in 1991. I want to see more war and gods next time, but I cannot undervalue the big beats of character connections.ĭISCLAIMER: DC Comics provided Batman News with a copy of this comic for the purposes of this review.George Pérez, Russell Braun, Cynthia Martin, Romeo Tanghal, Pablo Marcos, Vince Giarrano, Scott Hanna, Russell Braun, Alan Kupperberg, Phil Jimenez, Gordon Purcell, Dick Giordano, Frank McLaughlin, and Gene D'Angelo In any case, the artwork is mostly solid, and the story seems to be on the right track. Instigating a big arc right after a happy ending is a pretty brutal choice, and I am convinced that makes Tom Taylor a sadist. Nearly every title I have covered so far has featured some kind of “war.” As an newfound expert on war, I think this doesn’t do a bad job setting up the potential clash. I think my niche on Batman-News is being the DCU war journalist. Finding hope in friendship comforts you.You can tolerate heroes constantly stepping out of portals.You like seeing happy people hurt (please seek help).It is hard not to sympathize with their instability, especially knowing the peace won’t last. As a Justice League of emotional dependents, they are often unable to drop their guard and constantly fear for their safety. The new trinity are bonded by trauma and share several tender moments with each other and their families. Giving Superman the bulk of the focus allows the story to take a deep breath before submerging into the abyss again. Regardless, Tom Taylor tweaks her origin story for narrative purposes to set up the new major antagonist.Īlthough it features New Genesis, it is only a tease of the major conflict. I always find it odd when Elseworlds utilize legacy characters like Jon and Damian, but delay the involvement of their predecessors like Jason Todd (as seen in Batman: White Knight Presents: Red Hood). Similar to Injustice, Kara is brought in as a late stage addition to the universe. This issue also marks the introduction of Kara Zor-El. Unfortunately, it is only a prelude till the infected gods of New Genesis start this crisis all over again. Fortunately, this means the original Superman has regained his sanity. All of the surviving heroes now have a chance to reunite with their once-zombified peers and loved ones. Undead Gods #1 begins with the end of the anti-life equation that destroyed their world. Like the prodigal son, I have returned to survey the damages of the previous stories on the eve of its definitive finale. As it filled the gap in the hearts of comic book fans missing Injustice, I distanced myself long enough for it to return as a sensation.
Strangely, the more depressing it got, the more spin-offs seemed to develop. I gave up on it early on as the DC universe began to fall into despair. I confess, I’m not that into DCeased as a series.
