Gather around, folks, and put on your creative hats.
Letīs throw in some ideas, try to make a sense of it all.
Two, five, ten, twenty years from now, when the dust settles and people are able to finally think rationaly again....
What explanation you think they will come up with for the fact that an island of peaceful, immortal women dedicated to enlightment and human advancement suddenly going ape-shit and forsake their newly attained democracy in favour of invading a country, killing everyu man, woman and child in their way?

I would say they were manipulated by Granny Goodness, as shown in the book itself.

It had to be Panda Dio.
No other way of seeing it.
Has to be.
Maybe.

The whole thing will probably be explained when Countdown reveals Darkseid's actual plan.

I look forward... to hearing you all bitch about it, and to join in on said bitching, without having to waste my time and money finding out and being disappointed for myself!

Thank Hera for the little Countdown recaps that allow us to experience the full horror for free.

You won't hear me bitch about it... I actually enjoyed it. :o
Of course, I knew there was more to the story than what we initially saw, too. However, I was a tad irritated by the non-ending.

By then WonderWoman BatMan and Superman will all have finally become full on XXX torture comics. You like your bitches bruised up and spit on? Come to the comic shop.

That's already happening in JLA 14.

I'm still stuck on mind-wiping Batman, selling a Black Mask doll with special torture implements, and having a respected physician break her most sacred oath because she's feeling pissy.
Was even hard to fit in the whole 'Canary needs an arrow to disarm a lesser fighter with a knife' in with all the rest of the outrage. So, ignorning AA unless someone happens to send all the issues to me and I have the free time to read them. (Highly unlikely.)

It wasn't until your third paragraph that I realized you weren't talking about Alcoholics Anonymous.

It'll become a minor footnote much like Zero Hour has. This certainly isn't the first awfully bad crossover DC has done, and if Highball Hal can bounce back from bad editorial mandates I'm sure Diana can too. It's like Alan Scott running around calling himself the Sentinel, I just pretend such nonsense never happened.

Such words of wisdom....

When something is bad, you can take the Clone Saga route - Sssh! :)

you mean draw it out as long as possible and somehow make it even worse than it already was because you don't have the testicular fortitude to stick to an original decision no mater how shit is was. if we want to go on quality of initial arcs expanding the time it takes to make a decision......since the start of the clonse saga was decent......it only took 2 years.....with the insane crappyness that was AA...it will probably finally be wrapping up around that time

The entire fiasco was created by Darkseid who currently has ALL the amazons imprisoned on Apokalips and has replaced them witch a combination of female furies, para-demons (in disguise) and baron bedlam duplicates.
Wonder Woman will discover the seeds of this at the beginning of the year and, over twelve issues, will discover its source, take the fight to Apokalips, free the Amazons, smack the crap out of Granny and the Furies, return to their island, kill everyone there and re-establish diplomatic ties with Man's World.
Hell. why wait 20 years?
let's do it now.

War Games, another almost universally despised storyline and it is has not been referred to in months. Amazon Attacks will just be another bad plotline that fades away into a dark memory like many bad plots of the past unless you keep poking at it like a scab of course. Then it will just fester until it rots away all your joy in comics and in desperation you turn to stamp collecting or my little pony figures for a hobby that doesn't constantly test your will to survive and drain your faith in humanity.:rolleyes:
Do we have to make sense of it? I'm with Kevin, lets just drop the big 'ol Monty Python Foot of retconiness on it and move on.

Ooh!
Themyscria exists outside of space and time, correct? Part of the immortality thing, si?
There are some GREAT things that could be done with that.
Flip a coin in Themyscria. Which side does it land on?
Think about it. If you over-think it, you'll come up with some awful ideas. But if you over-over think it, there's not only a solution to Amazon's Attack... There's something very juicy and tantalizing there.
What is mythology? What is continuity? Is it possible that mythology is a force, an energy -- like magic or the Flash's Speed Force?
Sorry... I really shouldn't elaborate too far on this because I'm going to use it somehow now.
