In issue #6 of Absolute Wonder Woman, the narrative shifted from Diana’s earthly encounters to her connection with the divine, yet this aspect was merely a prelude, as revealed in The Lady or The Tiger part 2. Absolute Wonder Woman skillfully portrays Diana’s self-perception, the Gods’ perspective of her, and her true identity, an accomplishment that is astonishingly impressive, especially considering it was achieved in a single issue. To top it off, the way this is executed is simply breathtaking. Issue #7 might be one of my favorite installments in a series that has consistently raised the bar since its introduction, and it appears to only be improving further.
In the first part of “The Lady or The Tiger,” a confrontation with Hades was arranged with highly personal implications, but the second part unexpectedly deviates from this setup. Kelly Thompson skillfully delves into past events to reshape current circumstances, and this storytelling technique is masterfully employed throughout the issue.
Diana’s ties with the divine entities have been both beneficial and controversial, and Thompson further complicates this dynamic by introducing Hades, Persephone, and Hecate. However, these characters never overshadow Diana but instead serve to enhance her character in a supportive role rather than stealing the limelight. This intricate interplay adds depth not only to Diana but also to Circe’s relationship with her.
The tale of The Lady and The Tiger is frequently revisited throughout the story, causing Circe’s and Diana’s perspectives on it to subtly shift each time. As the pieces fall into place, both characters and readers reach a shared understanding, which significantly alters the perceived ending of the story, ultimately tying up all loose ends in a highly satisfying manner.
In issue #7 of Wonder Woman Absolute, both Matta De Iulis and Becca Carey demonstrate exceptional skill, contributing significantly to the series’ already remarkable visual appeal. They excel at creating a tense atmosphere and then transition seamlessly into scenes of breathtaking violence on the battlefield. The portrayal of the gods is majestic, imbuing them with an otherworldly aura, yet they often reveal deeper complexities beyond their initial impressions.
Regarding the climactic encounter with Hades, it certainly lives up to expectations, and I’m not sure anyone has been dominated as thoroughly as Hades is by Diana. This issue also seamlessly weaves moments of hope and sadness throughout. Wonder Woman #7 is a resounding success and fully deserves all the acclaim.
