”Family History” starts with a great cover and John Byrne as writer and penciller.
Wonder Woman, Princess Ororo, the mutant amazon is flying through a fierce storm over the ocean. She is plunged into the ocean where she is met by Poseidon. She is slapped down and almost drowned before being hurled onto a unrecognized shore. She quickly realizes from all the bling that it’s the throne room of the sea god.
Meanwhile at Ororo’s apartment, concerned neighbors find a battered woman looking for Ororo and fainting. That woman is Diana.
While Poseidon is yelling at Ororo she flashes back to being adopted on Themyscira as a sister to Diana.
A very nice story that shows what Wonder Woman can be to the world even with her relations to ancient gods. A nice tale.
It hints at issue #2 but I don’t think that ever happened.
And of course, John Byrne and Terry Austin artwork is wonderful to behold on every page. If that isn’t enough for you, I don’t know what could be.
5 stars for going far beyond the ‘gimmick’ of this series.

Interesting origin story.
We understand that Diana is not the Wonder Woman of this universe. Here, princess Ororo, a mutant rescued by Queen Hypolita and raised as her daughter, is this world's Wonder Woman. Makes sense, since it was always a title anyway.
Anyway, Ororo ends up facing the sea god, Poseidon, who has some information about what happened to her parents when she was younger, and how this deeply affected her.
We also get, much like a real comic book, a side story build up, with Diana going to Ororo's apartment looking for help.
It left me wanting to find out a bit more of these two, they began as rival sisters, but is this still going on, now that they’re adults?

really enjoyed this one: love how ororo prevailed over the greek god of the seas and storms.

"Si Ororo tomara el manto de Wonder Woman" era la premisa de este especial cumplidor, uno de los que más me gustó de esta primera tanda de Amalgam en su momento.
