War of the gods comics2/28/2023 ![]() ![]() I killed many a monster by cleverly pressing buttons in quicktime events, and using this secret technique I was able to kill Ares and take his place as the god of war. After my ten years of laboring for the gods, I was tasked by Athena to recover Pandora’s Box, which would give me the power to destroy the god of war Ares. God of War was the first game that was made to depict my many deeds and misdeeds. It is here that many would say my quest “officially” began. I discovered that Persephone, wife of Hades, was using the Titan Atlas in order to *sigh* just play the game. One of my greatest labors for the gods was my investigation into the disappearance of the sun god Helios. I did many things for the gods, and I was hardly compensated for my labor. God of War: Chains of Olympus (Ready At Dawn)Īfter thwarting the plans of Ares, I pledged myself to serve the gods of Olympus. Do you wish to know it? Play the game and find out. It was then that I learned the terrible truth about my bond with Ares himself. I was captured by the Furies, hellions from the pits of Hades and tortured without end. ![]() In a rage, I broke my blood oath with the god. It was what my fans would call “a dick move”. However, I ran afoul of the God of War, Ares. I served in the Spartan military and won battle after battle. In my youth, I was proud warrior, a conqueror, and a very angry man. I will begin at the beginning, in a distant land known as Sparta… God of War: Ascension (Santa Monica Studio) Here are all the God of War games, in order.

Vita Ayala is a great writer, but I don’t know that remixing this story gave them enough to work with. While some like the Hush issue felt like they were too much story crammed into fifty pages, this one felt like it could have been 35-40 pages instead. Hecate makes an effective villain, but the overall scale of the disaster is much smaller compared to others and much of the final battle is just Diana/Hecate ambushing one hero after another while they talk to her. While many of the other one-shots in this series center around a decision that seems like a good idea at the time but starts the ball rolling, this one gives Wonder Woman and the other heroes relatively little initiative. That’s the big problem with this issue-it all feels like it’s a slow march towards tragedy.

Set around a war between the various pantheons of ancient Gods masterminded by Hecate, it left Wonder Woman dead until she battled her way back and triumphed over the evil witch. ![]() Ray: This is the first of the Tales from the Dark Multiverse one-shots based on a story I haven’t read-George Perez’s Wonder Woman was just before my time-but this dark reinvention was relatively easy to get into.
