The biggest flaw of this graphic novel collection is that it becomes very apparent that you are missing part of the story by not reading whatever tie-ins DC made along with this event. It appears many of these could have occurred within certain titles published at the time (i.e. teen titans, wonder woman, and supergirl seem like the obvious choices based on content). This lack of a full story makes for uneven reading and takes away some of the overall enjoyment of reading a Wonder Woman event. There have been few events centered around this particular character and her world, so it is sad that this was one of them. It also sucked that one of the characters we should have seen, Donna Troy, is swept off and we are not told what we should read to understand what was going on with her story. She just seems to disappear. It was overall a frustrating read, but rooted in what could have been an amazing storyline. It just is very poorly executed. ( )

Hippolyta was a great and virtuous queen of the Amazons. When the witch Circe raised her from the dead she came back a vengeful, homicidal leader. She launched an attack on Washington D. C. at first because of her daughter’s unfair incarceration then she continues to wreak havoc even after Wonder Woman is released. Is this all the queen’s doing or is there someone else behind this war? Superman, Batman and other superheroes battle against the Amazon’s to save America. ( )
