My breakdown of issue 23
The conclusion to the truth story arc was interesting to say the least, but felt it could have been just a bit better. We learn that Ares was imprisoned by Aphrodite because he went mad for war. And when he battled Wonder Woman in the earlier issues it really wasn’t him but his sons.
Wonder Woman defeats the Ares sons Phobes and Deimos with love and Dr. Kales daughter cant return to her home but must stay in Themyscira. And we see a way too brief final page with Wonder Woman and the Queen exchanging each other’s name and the Queen saying, “You always make me proud.” as the Queen walks away. You’d think they would at least embrace and talk more, this issue could have ended a lot better especially after 23 issues building up to the two of them meeting again for the first time since Diana left home.
