The New 52: Wonder Woman Issue No. 5 Review

Wonder Woman, Zola and Hermes return to London to ponder things, especially after the events of last issue, where Hera turned Diana's mother Hippolyta into stone. Once in London, things get even more raucous as a man named Lennox gives them details about Zeus and his disappearance and possible ramifications for other gods. That these other gods may want to take over Zeus' top spot on the food chain. For whatever reason, Poseidon has showed up in the London area as well and wants to claim the heavens for himself. However, before he can continue with his plans, Diana informs him that someone else wants the throne for HERSELF too. Who could that be?

Issue number 5 was another lowkey story revealing a bit more about how the other deities feel about Zeus and his departure. Apparently, Diana has swiftly recovered from seeing her mother turned to stone as writer Brian Azzarello didn't focus on that aspect in this issue. The other Gods are able to follow wherever Wonder Woman and crew are.  Hard to keep secrets or even hide out from them as even Hera knows what's going on in London.

Unexpected revelations are in store for Wonder Woman

It's still interesting how this current storyline will end and if Zeus actually returns.  Have your Greek mythology guide handy because we may see more Gods and Goddesses pop up.  Tony Atkins handles the art chores this month. 

The Good: Good revelations and developing sub plots.

The Bad: Story seems to be dragging a bit. Shouldn't Wonder Woman be a bit more angry or distressed that her mother has been turned to stone?

Final Verdict: B
