Well, okay, I reflexively summarize in the way most insulting to Tresser I can manage, so that's not entirely correct, but I do get a faint sense of chiding from her phrasing, or at the very least a firm "this is *my* call" - particularly the emphasis on "help" and the body language of her staying between them even once the hug is over - and his turnaround is pretty dramatically immediate in response to that (from aggressively insulting with serious RAR!angryface to "well in that case hell yes"), which is an easy, prideless ceding to authority that you just don't *see* in superhero comics. Even though it makes perfect sense - if the boy is going to claim to be an amazon, accepting Diana as his superior officer and behaving accordingly with stuff like this is part of the package - it's contrary to the fundamental "no authority but my own morals" philosophy that vigilantes are all about, so it's a pleasant shock for a vigilante to behave that way (particularly a male vigilante in respect to a female one).
Zeus would also be getting on my nerves, except for the incredible potential he's brought by creating Achilles.
Really? He was really only barely a presence in Rucka's run - more a story device, an obstacle for Athena, than an actual antagonist; was significant for his *absence* in Byrne's; was an antagonist for like, two issues of Perez; and that's just about it for his meaningful pagetime in this entire incarnation of Diana, up until now.
Ares suffers from the same ailment as Circe - being used too frequently by writers with no understanding of the character's current DC canon - so being worn out on him I sympathize with. His personality here seems quite promising, though, so Gail gets the benefit of the doubt (not that she usually doesn't anyway). Plus, I really don't like the status quo with the gods being up in the air like this (if you hadn't noticed ^^) so the more we see of all of them and therefore the closer we get to a resolution on that, the happier I am.
