''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.

* [[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

* [[Ax Crazy]]: Hippolyta.

* [[Deus Ex Machina]]: Just like the plays in ancient Greece, only without the strings holding "Athena" up.

* [[Development Hell]]: The idea for the series originated as a ''visual'' one - an Amazon army fighting modern American military forces, amidst the photogenic Neoclassical architecture of Washington, D.C. A series was originally planned as a lead-in to ''[[Infinite Crisis]]'', but the idea was shelved until the runup to ''[[Final Crisis]]'' instead.
