Wonder Woman vol. 6: Bones (New 52)
The story arc draws to a mostly satisfying (though fairly creepy) conclusion, but the same misogyny that plagues the entirety of Wondie's New 52 run is in full force, as always. I enjoyed the run, for the most part, I really did, but the marginalization of the Greek goddesses and the depiction of the Amazons as raging misandrists (why is it that men can never write a society of women alone without having to involve men by at the very least making them HATE and enslave them?) detracts from what could have actually have been a GREAT comic.
I'd wondered where Athena had been the entire story arc, especially since, pre-New 52, she was actually Diana's patron (Ares is now.) She shows up in this comic and... I don't even want to talk about it. No sir, I don't like it.
