About this Issue

Wonder Woman #32 (vol. 5, 2017) is the issue in which Diana Prince physically meets Jason — her long-hidden twin brother and the only male ever born on Themyscira — for the very first time, making it the key payoff issue of the 'Children of the Gods' arc. The meeting fulfilled a narrative thread that Geoff Johns had planted across Justice League: The Darkseid War and the DC Universe: Rebirth Special, and it fundamentally expanded Wonder Woman's mythology by giving her a living blood sibling for the first time in the character's modern continuity. The Robinson-Pagulayan run drew deliberate connective tissue between Jack Kirby's Fourth World/New Gods mythology and Diana's Greek-god heritage, a cross-cosmology synthesis that critics noted as the arc's most ambitious storytelling choice. The issue also sparked genuine cultural debate about the progressive implications — or lack thereof — of repeatedly adding male figures to Wonder Woman's traditionally matriarchal family tree.

History

After Greg Rucka and Liam Sharp announced their departure from the twice-monthly DC Rebirth Wonder Woman series following issue #25, DC tapped writer James Robinson and artists Carlo Pagulayan and Emanuela Lupacchino for a planned six-month run beginning with #31. Robinson's assignment was specifically shaped by DC editorial's desire to resolve the dangling Jason subplot from Geoff Johns' tenure, with one account suggesting Robinson sought a return to DC and was offered Wonder Woman on the condition that the Jason/Darkseid story be completed. Issue #32, the second chapter of 'Children of the Gods,' shipped on October 11, 2017, with interior art by Sergio Davila and Jason Paz stepping in alongside Pagulayan; Bryan Hitch provided the main cover and Jenny Frison supplied variant covers throughout the run.

Trivia · 8 facts

  • Story title: 'Children of the Gods, Part 2'; cover-dated December 2017, published October 11, 2017.
  • Written by James Robinson; interior art by Carlo Pagulayan, Sergio Davila, and Jason Paz (inker); main cover by Bryan Hitch; variant cover by Jenny Frison.
  • The final page delivers Diana's first face-to-face meeting with her twin brother Jason on the Aegean coast of Greece — the dramatic payoff the arc had been building toward since #31.
  • Diana learns from the late Hercules' will and testament that Hercules personally knew Jason's whereabouts and had been watching over him, serving as a narrative bridge between the two storylines.
  • The issue establishes that Apokolips energy signatures were found on Hercules' body, linking his murder to Darkseid's daughter Grail and the ongoing threat to Zeus' demigod children.
  • Jason's existence as the only male ever born on Themyscira was originally seeded by Geoff Johns in Justice League: Darkseid War (Justice League #50, 2016), and DC Universe: Rebirth #1 reinforced the hint before Robinson's run made it the central plot.
  • The 'Children of the Gods' arc (issues #31–37) was collected as Wonder Woman Vol. 6: Children of the Gods in the DC Rebirth trade paperback line.
  • Canon-continuity note flagged by readers and critics: Robinson's run appeared to operate from the New 52 Zeus-as-father origin rather than the revised Rebirth origin Greg Rucka had established, creating an unresolved internal tension in the series' continuity.
