No more heroes anymore |

Poor Tryphosa, finally getting to see Themiskyra, only
to discover that the Amazons don't quite live up to the
myths. Not that baby-killing and virgin-sacrificing are
to be approved of, but they're pretty much staples of
any mythical, ruthless warrior civilisation. Genghis
Khan probably really liked babies, but I bet he
pretended not to in order to look cool.
The main inspiration for this comic is the fact that
there are far too many myths about the Amazons for me to
include them all in my version of the civilisation. A
lot of them contradict the others, and some of them just
wouldn't work well with the comic... so, as I've said
before, I've chosen my mythical sources carefully. In a
way this comic is a handy reference for the various
myths that don't apply to our Amazons. Although
I think the one who'd be happiest with this knowledge is
Eutropia. I expect she'd be a lot more comfortable if
she knew that Androdameia wasn't actually
intending to eat her.
Well, not in the literal sense, anyway.
What? Come on, you were all thinking the same thing,
right? |

Whatever happened to
Leon Trotsky? He got an ice pick that made his ears burn. |
