Today on DC’s The Source blog, they shared another of the big changes they are making to the New 52, including that Wonder Woman is no longer a creation of Aphrodite but the child of Hippolyta and Zeus. The exact details from The Source are below, but my question is this: why couldn’t they just reveal it in the comic? Doesn’t that make a little more sense than making a blog post about it?
Maybe that’s just me.
In DC COMICS-THE NEW 52, Wonder Woman will have a new origin, in which she is the daughter of Hippolyta … and Zeus! In recent interviews, writer Brian Azzarello and artist Cliff Chiang have teased that readers should expect the unexpected in this edgier, horror take on the superhero genre and the king of the gods will ensure that nothing goes as planned for his defiant daughter.
Originally created by the goddess Aphrodite and raised to perfection on the Amazon island of Themiscyra, the newest incarnation of Wonder Woman has a new costume and now a new origin but she remains Wonder Woman. Strong. Proud. Fearless. WONDER WOMAN is the 12th title in DC COMICS-THE NEW 52 to sell more than a 100K copies.
