Ultimately, this is the first chapter in a story that has built up an explanation for the hierarchy of goddesses and what came from them. It’s not all about gods, though - there is a scene on Earth that’s very important. It can be difficult to wrap your head around it all - footnotes might have helped to fill in gaps, but the vastness of these characters and the rules they live by is kind of the point.
The story feels so vast and incomprehensible to humans, which suits the nature of the story and its place from a reader’s perspective. It’s here in the story where the role of Zeus is revealed, adding an interesting layer and making this a story about man vs. It may be the greatest representation of gods in modern comics I’ve seen, giving each god a stunning moment to capture your awe and attention. It’s a work that’ll have you soaking in the smallest bush, panel, or antler rendered amongst a plethora of panels that feel visionary. In some ways, it reminded me of Darren Aronofsky and Kent Williams’s graphic novel The Fountain, as its painterly quality and mesmerizing visuals will have you lingering on every page. This work is as epic as any story you’ll read from a comics publisher. Dubbed by DeConnick as a “Homeric epic with a woman at the center,” it’s all that and more as the preview surely can attest to, but what kind of reading experience is it? In short, it’s nothing like you’ve ever seen or read. Kelly Sue DeConnick and Phil Jimenez have been hard at work developing the concept from conversations, to character design, and now the first chapter of a magnum opus surrounding Hera and the Amazons.
