| Amazons Attack! (Comic Book) | comment |
Amazons Attack! was a 2007 DC Comics miniseries, written by Will Pfeiffer with art by Pete Woods. The plot involves the return of Wonder Woman's mother, Queen Hippolyta, from the dead. Under the advice of Circe, a frequent enemy of the Amazons in the past, she leads the Amazons in an attack on Washington, D.C. aimed at rescuing her daughter from American captivity.Of course, all is not exactly what it seems, and among other things, Wonder Woman's captivity had been engineered by Circe herself. The plot involves a number of subplots, including the Justice League's attempts to fight back, the internment of women suspected of Amazon sympathies by the U.S. government, and an ill-fated mission by Supergirl and Wonder Girl to speak to the President of the United States. Events from Amazons Attack also affected a number of other books, including the weekly Countdown to Final Crisis series, Supergirl (2005), and Catwoman (2002).Ultimately, the war ends and the true players behind the conflict are revealed, but only after considerable death and destruction.For a miniseries expected to be a major "event" comic, sales of Amazons Attack were disappointing at best, and the critical/fan reception even worse. While most fans agree that Pete Woods contributed gorgeous art to the project, it's difficult to find positive comments about any other aspects of the project. Despite this, DC was willing to give it a second shot after 16 years, in their Rebirth line. | |

Death of a Child: In fact, its what kicks off the plot as two Amazons brutally kill an innocent father and his young son just because they are male. | |

Ax-Crazy: Hippolyta wants the death of all men in the United States for apparently kidnapping her daughter, and nothing can apparently make her relent...and no one can tell she's clearly been brainwashed or is being mind controlled. | |

Faux Action Girl | |
| Amazons Attack! (Comic Book) / int_40217655 | comment |
Faux Action Girl: Wonder Woman is barely a participant in her own miniseries. She never wins a fight (at one point being airlifted away by Superman from a fight she's winning), and never thinks to use her lasso on Hippolyta, despite it having once convinced Ares his plan wouldn't work (not even getting into how it can undo brainwashing, which Hippolyta is clearly under the effects of). | |

The Big Bad: Hyppolyta's invasion was all Circe's fault Circe was out for revenge against Athena, who was really Granny Goodness in disguise holding Athena and the other Greek Gods, minus Hercules, hostage, so Granny Goodness is the real big bad. | |

Armor Is Useless | |
| Amazons Attack! (Comic Book) / int_638b65bc | comment |
Armor Is Useless: On both sides. Plate armor is just as useless against assault rifles as reality would dictate, but American tanks and planes are also quite vulnerable to magical but primitive-looking Amazon weaponry | |

Straw Feminist | |
| Amazons Attack! (Comic Book) / int_76d233f9 | comment |
Straw Feminist: Just about every Amazon is reduced to this, being man-hating warriors. This character ultimately becomes inconsistent because at one point, the Amazons found a female pilot on the ground, and one of them kills her without a second thought. Nor do the other Amazons bat an eye about it. Later, it is shown that a group of Amazons tried to kill Lucy Lane. | |

Canon Discontinuity: After the conclusion of this event, the cast in general has seemingly adopted a Let Us Never Speak of This Again approach towards this event, suggesting that it's fallen into this trope. | |

Karma Houdini | |
| Amazons Attack! (Comic Book) / int_a70223 | comment |
Karma Houdini: The Amazon soldiers go out of their way to carry out genocide with fervor and eagerness that would put the Schutzstaffel to shame...and as punishment, they have their memories erased, and are implanted in normal lives across the world. And even this is later reversed, making Granny Goodness the only character who seemed to think that an entire nation leaping at the chance to enact mass murder merited some sort of punishment. Retconned in Secret Six with a prison labor camp full of Amazon war criminals ... and yet , the story tries to make it seem that the treatment of Amazon prisoners is somehow WRONG!!!? | |

Just Following Orders | |

Just Following Orders: Apparently, this is the excuse that let the vast majority of the Amazons waltz away from the conflict with nothing more than amnesia. The excuse rings a lot hollow when Amazons are depicted on several occasions going out of their way to commit war crimes against innocent civilians. | |
