Diana’s origin gets a powerful new perspective!

In Wonder Woman #36, Stephanie Williams and Clayton Henry continue The Current Beneath, Part 2 with a story that revisits one of the most important moments in Wonder Woman’s history: Diana entering the Amazonian Contest to become Wonder Woman.
With the fate of Themyscira hanging in the balance, Diana must face a crossroads while preparing for the larger conflict with the Matriarch.

In this review, I discuss:

Wonder Woman #36
Diana’s origin
The Amazonian Contest
Stephanie Williams’ Wonder Woman story
Clayton Henry’s artwork
Themyscira
Diana’s relationship with her Amazon heritage
The balance of action and emotion
The connection between Diana’s past and her daughter
Why this works as an intermission for Wonder War
The expansion of Wonder Woman mythology

What part of Wonder Woman’s origin would you like to see expanded or reimagined?
