Wonder Woman is using what?

I won't like it if this happens.

SPOILERS AHEAD for older RHATO Rebirth issues




I saw the cover for Wonder Woman #53 and while it's just a cover I'm hoping it's not a hint at things to come. Diana seems to be using the Bow of Ra. Remember how we had a whole arc in RHATO with Artemis getting the Bow?

We saw how long she wanted it but was told she couldn't just have it. Told by a goddess in fact. The weapon chooses the warrior not the other way. Many tried to use it and were burned alive. The Shim'Tar, the Bana-Mighdall version of Wonder Woman, should be the one that's able to use it. In fact many believed that was a fact. Akila was chosen by the gods to be the Shim'Tar and was brought back because it was assumed that she was the only one that could use the Bow of Ra.

That wasn't the case, it turned out the Bow actually drove her mad and partially burned her. When they fought in Qurac Artemis discovered that the Bow of Ra chose her and that it was never meant for Akila. After years of growth from desiring the weapon then trying to keep it out of the wrong hands to save lives Artemis earned it. Diana has her lasso and other icon items, let Artemis have her axe and the Bow of Ra.

    well said.

    I hope that cover is misleading or i'll get mad.

    1. Ditto. I love Diana but she shouldn't be holding the Bow.
