Deconnick writes her with a strength and vulnerability that makes her instantly endearing.
We’ve just never seen her presented in such a manner. Hippolyta, future queen of Themyscira and mother of Wonder Woman, is certainly still the character long time readers will recognize. Much like the prior issue, this comic has this dual nature of feeling faintly familiar while also being immensely distinct. Our focus in this comic shifts from the Goddesses of Olympus to Hippolyta herself as she becomes acquainted with the Amazons who saved her.
This issue feels less massive and epic than its predecessor, but this is clearly intentional. Having gotten all the groundwork done in the opening chapter, Kelly Sue DeConnick is able to launch further into the story proper in Wonder Woman Historia: The Amazons #2. Perhaps it is the will of the Goddesses that they cross paths again…but before that moment, Hippolyta will gather to herself a tribe of her very own-and find that the hearts of all women do not necessarily burn with a flame as righteous as her own…” Writing & Plot “The second installment of the jaw-droppingly ambitious history of the Amazons finds their future queen, Hippolyta, cutting a swath through the world of men, desperate to be reunited with the astonishing women who saved her life…but unfortunately for her, they’re hard folk to find. With a deeply powerful script from Deconnick and staggering visual work from Ha and Wong, this chapter continues what could end up being one of the greatest stories DC has ever published.
With colors from Wesley Wong and letters by Clayton Cowles, this issue offers the same brand of grandiose and powerful storytelling as the prior issue and gets us closer to the creation of the Amazons as we understand them. Writer Kelly Sue DeConnick teams up with artist Gene Ha to weave the 2nd part of their mythic tapestry in Wonder Woman Historia: The Amazons #2.
