Wonder Woman Page #4

was that your revitalized presence...

...might threaten the delicate power balance

on Olympus.

I'm not surprised that he who sanctioned

his own son's unjust bondage...

...would put politics above family.

Excuse me one moment. Slave!

That a father would treat his own son

in such a way fills me with sadness.

Thrax, my son.

Is everything all right, dear nephew?

The blood seems to have rushed

from your face.

Yes. Of course.

Where are my manners?

Don't just stand there, you pathetic twit.

Attend to our guest.

No.

No further hospitality on your part

is required.

You've been a most magnanimous host.

And you've waited too long

for this moment.

Let's not extend it another second.

I shall never be able to repay your gesture,

dear uncle.

And you will never need to.

Like you, I cherish family.

So to assist you in this way...

...well, it brings me

unconscionable amounts of joy.

Easy.

You're lucky to be alive,

so just conserve your energy and rest.

Did you...? Did you stop Ares?

No, I didn't.

- I couldn't.

- What?

Why not?

- I had to save you.

- Ow.

I didn't need you to save me.

I needed you to stop Ares.

Hey, if it weren't for me,

you wouldn't be here right now.

I'm an Amazon, Steve. We're prepared

from birth to give our lives in battle.

I knew what the consequences were

going in to this mission.

You would have acted differently,

if I were a man.

Oh, playing the card again, are you?

You know what?

I've had just about enough...

...of listening to you go on

about how terrible men are.

Does the truth hurt, Steve?

News flash:

The Amazons ain't so perfect either.

You act brave, but cutting yourselves off

from the world was cowardly.

Not to mention stupid.

Like less communication between men

and women is what the world needed.

- How dare you?

- No! I'm not done.

You met your first man, what,

like 15 minutes ago.

And you think

you have us all figured out.

Well, I'm sorry,

but not everything a man does...

...is to further some misogynistic agenda.

We don't hold doors open

or pull out chairs for women...

...because we're trying

to keep you down.

I didn't save you because I thought

you were some damsel in distress.

I saved you because...

Because I care about you, Diana.

And I'm not gonna abandon

a friend in need, man or woman.

You should have saved the world

instead of me.

Maybe I figured the world's

not worth saving if you're not in it.

Ow! You crazy Amazonian dragon lady.

There's work to be done.

By the way,

you're starting to sound like a woman.

You've waited patiently, my friends...

...but the time has come once again

to spread my gospel of death.

Now, let the natural state

of mistrust and betrayal...

...run through the soul of every man...

...until I may walk across the earth

on the backs of 5 billion corpses.

Sorry I reacted the way I did

at the hospital.

I'm sorry too. Since we've met...

...I don't think I've done the best job

of representing the masculine ideal.

The truth is, I'm really not such a pig.

No, that's not the truth. I am a pig.

A womanizer.

Been one for a long time now.

Sometimes I think

it's all because I don't wanna be hurt.

Well, not again.

This macho bravado, it's all a facade.

Wait, why am I telling you this?

God, I hope you Amazons

can't mass produce this thing.

They're messing with Lincoln.

Nobody messes with Lincoln.

Mr. President, we still don't know

what those things on our front lawn are.

Every government

we have relations with...

...has called to assure us

they aren't behind this.

Well, someone has to pay for this.

Shall we?

Mother tells me you're a terrific dancer.

Darn.

Apparently someone wants to cut in.

You're not going to conquer man, Ares.

The Amazons will never let you.

Now, who said

I was trying to conquer man?

War is only the vehicle

that allows my soul to feed...

...on the psychic energy of fear,

discord and hate.

And already this modern world has given me

the kind of power I've never known.

Power that will allow me to conquer

not man...

...but the very gods of Olympus.

Now, hold still.

I wish to repay the kindness

your mother once showed my son.

I must confess, my queen.

It feels like the first day of school.

And yet you could not find a bigger sword,

Artemis?

Sword? This is but my dagger.

Hippolyta.

Tear them apart.

Looks like we'll have that dance after all.

Sir, we have intelligence...

...that an island has appeared

out of nowhere in the Aegean Sea.

If we're dealing with mystical forces,

this could be where they're from.

Our military advisers

are suggesting we strike, and strike hard...

...before they have a chance

to unleash who knows what else on us.

Do it.

How do you expect to defeat Zeus,

if you can't even beat a girl?

You're optimistic, if you think

I've reached the height of my powers.

You see, since I've been gone...

...man has created a weapon

of such awesome destructive force...

...that their use

of only one of these weapons...

...feeds me with the psychic energy

of a thousand wars.

Oh, crap.

How will you stop me now

that my powers rival that of any god?

I am as strong as Hercules.

As fast as Hermes.

And now, like Hades,

I wield dominion over the dead...

...which allows me to unleash

my own worst curse upon your people.

Amazon dead, I command you

to come to your lord.

Slaughter your sisters.

Alexa, you bring yet more disgrace

to our family.

This time I will ensure

that you stay dead.

Now you fight without fear.

What demon language are you babbling?

You're trying to tell me something,

aren't you?

An ancient incantation to release one

from another's unnatural control.

Only I could not administer it to myself.

And from where did you learn

that little bit of magic?

A book of mysticism

written by some dead philosopher.

You always did live in books, didn't you?

Yes.

But in death I am an Amazon.

May we meet again

in a better place, sister.

Your army continues to dwindle.

As does yours.

But the difference is

I no longer need an army.

Okay, one chance

to shoot this guy down.

Come on. What's wrong?

Why isn't anything happening?

No. No. No!

Of course, invisible missiles.

Hardy flipping har.

Have you not brought enough death

and misery upon us?

I'm sorry, my queen.

I never meant to fall in love.

Love? The Amazons are warriors.

You turned your back on your sisters.

No, it is you who did that

when you turned your back on mankind.

You were given a life

of peace and beauty.

And denied one of families and children.

Yes, Hippolyta,

the Amazons are warriors...

...but we are women too.

Did your mother not warn you

this is how it would turn out?

That you would suffer at the wicked...

...cruel...

...hands of man?

You're no man.

Not the kind I've come to know.

Then you've learned nothing, have you?

Well, I have learned one thing.

It's not polite to hit a lady.

Zeus! Zeus!

Mr. President.

Mr. President,

the threat has been neutralized.
