Children of the Gods  Conclusion

Let us start this review off by saying that the story by and large is not bad. It just was not needed as a part of the regular Wonder Woman series. It is really strange how DC Comics could take the excellent run by Greg Rucka that coincided with the outstanding movie by Patty Jenkins and then take the Wonder Woman comic into a storyline that places Diana on the sidelines. That is the big flaw of this story. It would have been better to have made this a mini series and keep the focus of the Wonder Woman comic WONDER WOMAN. It is clear this was a story to remake the over used Darksied into an adult.

It is a good fight even if it is between Zeus and Darksied. Robinson really seems to not get that Wonder Woman is relevant now. She has been treated as a strong character and given great stories. He places her as the defeated daughter that just has to watch as events go around her. Even as he wraps the story up he has her resentful to see her teammates. Diana is not the petty woman he made her. That is a shame as in 2017 she truly became a flagship hero for DC.

My hope is that soon in 2018 DC has the sense to let one of the talented women that are writing in comics now have a long run on Wonder Woman. I would love to see Amy Chu be given the character, but Dynamite unlike DC has seen the value of her talent and has her busy. They do have the Bensons & Bennett who could do an awesome job. Keep the Wonder Woman love going DC. We need her in this messed up world we are living in right now.
