Now I’m reading New 52 Wonder Woman. Brian Azzarello. The story is easy enough to follow but the myth is so confusing.
Diana wasn’t originally a Greek goddess but now they’ve retconned her to be one. Daughter of Zeus and Hippolyta. Except it’s throwing me for a loop because I keep thinking she’s Artemis (Diana in the Roman pantheon) but she’s not that Diana, she’s a different Diana.
Oh and I also have the Rebirth Wonder Woman, first two volumes by Greg Rucka, and I already know they re-retcon her back to just an Amazonian and undo the whole Greek goddess thing (it was a villainous plot to confuse her, naturally).
I used to think the X-Men, specifically Cyclops/Jean Grey, Madeleine Pryor and Cable, had the most confusing backstory of all time but DC sure is trying to give them a run for their money.
Oh and I bought some Usagi Yojimbo in the comiXology Black Friday sale. Can’t wait. Love that character and series. And 47 Ronin. And Ex Machina vol 1.
