Comments:

Interestingly, the stir caused amongst fans by Diana's actions in this storyline would be repeated a few years later in the build up to DC's "Infinite Crisis" crossover event. In a story called "Sacrifice" that spanned several Superman titles and concluded in "Wonder Woman" 219, Diana kills Max Lord by snapping his neck in order to free a mind controlled Superman from his thrall.
Diana has always been an Amazon Warrior as well as an ambassador for peace and in my opinion her actions are not a contradiction in terms. When there is no other way and she is faced by a monster with no redeeming qualities and who can never be turned to good, she will do what is necessary - making her a unique and, in my view, more courageous hero than her male peers Superman and Batman.

Plot Summary:

Wonder Woman and Aquaman eventually track down the perpetrator of the crime, the Godling Triton, and Diana snaps his neck and kills him in cold blooded revenge.
