Wonder Woman

By noreply@blogger.com (Mart) Good on Gail for having the balls to mention the Stygian hornets, one of the most ridiculed elements of DC's shameful Amazon Attacks mini series. The assertion of Ares that Diana actually serves him rather than the more peaceful gods cuts nicely to the core dichotomy of Wonder Woman, that s...

By noreply@blogger.com (Mart) In which Diana attacks Giganta, Achilles the Olympian and Egg Fu lookalike Alkyone enter a marriage of convenience, and Wonder Woman and Nemesis finally have that conversation. There's also Dinah Lance, Black Canary, with whom Diana spent the last two rather fun issues - we saw their fri...

By noreply@blogger.com (Mart) It's like watching a ballet. With compound fractures!' That's how Black Canary wittily describes witnessing Wonder Woman fight in the conclusion to their two-part Tokyo romp. There's never any real sense that Diana and Dinah are in danger from the supervillain fighting arena they enter...

By noreply@blogger.com (Mart) Anyway, his information seems on the up, as Diana and guest star Dinah Lance - the Black Canary, as Wonder Woman respectfully puts it - are soon off to Tokyo to infiltrate a metahuman fighting ring organised by Psycho, in Sarge Steel's body. Before that, though, we have some of my favourite s...

By noreply@blogger.com (Mart) Hera's name!' cries Persephone, making her comic book debut after appearing in the recent Wonder Woman cartoon. Er that would be Hera, then - or was it a shortened form of 'In Hera's name!'? Is this the Amazon equivalent of my hated 'the hell?' And why is she calling her poor pal a 'silly woman...

By noreply@blogger.com (Mart) But the notion that Diana would conspire with her mother Hippolyte - recent leader of a murderous Amazon attack on the United States - to deceive a friend and colleague and resupply her with Amazons is, at base, ridiculous. Given that, I expect Simone to reveal full details of the situation...

By noreply@blogger.com (Mart) Superman? Busy on New Krypton. Wonder Woman? 'Obligations to Themyscira'. Red Arrow? Too busy moping over feckless girlfriend Hawkgirl. Hawkgirl? Flown off with Hawkman. Flash? Not fast enough to fit the JLA in alongside family and Titans. Black Lightning? Rejoined the Outsiders. Green La...

By noreply@blogger.com (Mart) as if. Things that were just plain great included the courage of Etta, the renewed friendship with Steve Trevor, the fact that Diana inspires fear even in the super-villain Phobia, Felix Faust auditioning for Dragon's Den ('I'm out') and Diana's eagle soaring as she channelled her anger...

However with the exception of the Wonder Woman live action show of the 1970s starring Lynda Carter; Wonder Woman’s solo adventures are few and far between. There’s been talk for quite some time of a live action film, fan favorite Joss Whedon was ...

 WV To say that Wonder Woman was a big part of my childhood would be a major understatement. My mom bought me her comics every month. I had the Underoos and the doll. I took blue construction paper and made bracelets for myself. One Halloween, my mom made ...

I've never been a big fan of Wonder Woman. Out of DC's biggest heroes she's the least interesting. She has a bland personality, powers that are too much like Superman and worst of all, has uninteresting stories. Like seriously who does she fight? Th Read More »

The animated feature’s screenplay, penned by Michael Jelenic (who worked on The Batman, Legion of Superheroes and Batman: The Brave and the Bold television series) from a story by himself and Gail Simone, sees the umpteenth retelling/revamp of Wonder Woman’s origin, her first encoun...

By noreply@blogger.com (Mart) A highlight in Gail Simone's script is the return of Steve Trevor, who gives Sarge-Steel-Really-Dr-Psycho a dressing down. And he even remembers that he's married to Etta Candy who, in a lovely piece of characterisation, Diana urges to 'Be strong. Be Amazon'.

 - Consider me intrigued. by Gail Simone and Nicola Scott It is disturbing to see Gail Simone doing so well on Wonder Woman finally, and to simultaneously ...

 CA - biggest challenge Wonder Woman has ever faced. To put it bluntly, Simone is better than this, and I expected more from her than a story in which Diana ...

By noreply@blogger.com (collectededitions) Simone, I believe, offers a take on Wonder Woman that many writers have attempted, but never quite achieved. In every battle Diana fights--whether with super-gorillas, enhanced Nazis, or a crazed Green Lantern--Simone takes the reader almost step-by-step through Diana's strategie...

By noreply@blogger.com (Caleb) The best selling comic book is currently Secret Invasion, issues #2 through #7 of which have all been $3.99 for just 22 pages. So, if I’m Marvel Comics, I see that Direct Market consumers are willing to pay $4 for a 22-page comic book, as long as it’s something they are either excited about or fe...

By noreply@blogger.com (Mart) The sort-of return of Wonder Tot was just brilliant, and Chang channelled Silver Age artists Ross Andru and Mike Esposito superbly. The metatextual comment by Diana on the possibility of a good Wonder Woman film was a cute wink at the never-ending real-life 'will there be a Wonder Woman mo...

 CA - The result is one of the funniest, most charming comics I've read in some time, and Simone's best outing on this title to date. ...

By noreply@blogger.com (Rokk Krinn) Wonder Woman comments that the brand is mystical in nature and that there is something ritualistic going on with the three of them. Wonder Woman says that Superman is an outsider who embraces the world around him. Batman is an “insider” from Earth and yet he shuts himself off from the rest of the world. Wonder Woman walks among humanity, but holds herself apart from it. We slide back to the JLA watchtower where Superman asks Batman what he thinks of all of this. Batman glares at Superman and Wonder Woman and curtly states that they should return to the Hall of Justice. That the others are working and so should they.   [read the full post]

 CA - With this latest arc, my complaint isn't so much that Diana is out of her element – I think she's definitely suited for a sword and sorcery, hero's quest ...

By Devall Some of their best work has come from their new DC Stars line, "Character Figures" based on DC Comics' greatest heroes and villains. Wonder Woman is one fine example, Tonner delivering to fans a beautiful collectible of the Amazonian ...

By WendySkeleton Review - Wonder Woman #17 Published on February 26, 2008 by WendySkeleton Ah, so DC has finished showcasing Gail Simone’s first story arc. I’m going to give a lot of love to Gail right now. She knows how to write Wonder Woman, which is something I haven’t felt since Greg Rucka had written her. Th...

By Heidi Meeley Originally uploaded by Heidi Meeley From the astounding cover to the deeply felt battle contained therein, the finale of "The Circle" was a resounding success in my book. Writer Gail Simone brings home her point of origin for Wonder Woman with the big reveal and lots of butt kicking. Terry a...

By Caleb Okay, we’ve got Manhunter and Wonder Woman, obviously, and, in a strip along the bottom, every Manhunter ever (and look, there’s Thor!) and, just below that, just about every Amazon, but I can’t really make sense of any of the faces in the upper right hand corner. Like, why is Donna Troy ther...

By Brian Cronin Which isn’t to say that modern writers don’t reuse ideas (Brad Meltzer, I’m looking at you…) But they generally do so for different reasons. The climate of comics has changed, so that between decompression, willingness to sacrifice deadlines, and advance planning, nobody needs to whip...

By Caleb You know when Wonder Woman was really, really, really not good, though? May of 1958. That’s when Wonder Woman #98 was published, the first book to be collected in Showcase Presents: Wonder Woman Vol. 1, which is jam-packed with Wonder Woman comics that are no good at all.

By Joe Rice Back with Wonder Woman Grodd sent a army of armed gorillas to claim the azure oceans they wanted to “sloter” Wonder Woman and that is like impossible there talking about WONDER WOMAN! Hello! Well Wonder Woman of corse injures them and finnally she gets to them. They all make promises. Later o...

By Johanna Green Arrow/Black Canary #2 — I am SUCH a Cliff Chiang fangirl. He can do no wrong, and the regal Hippolyta on the first page of this Themyscira-set issue just confirms it. And the naked Green Arrow trying to escape from his captors is a definite eye-catcher.

Wonder Woman #14 Review comic Book Resources - The idea is a cool one, but her using it as Diana Prince, not as Wonder Woman, is odd to me. What, exactly, does her partner, Tom “Nemesis” Tresser, ...

By Caleb Oh, I know! Lisa Fortuner, that lady who’s always yelling at people about Green Lanterns! She’s a big Wonder Woman fan, and even buys, read and defends DC/Wonder Woman related works she strongly dislikes, like Amazons Attack. Surely she had something to say about WW #6 that can be snipped i...

By Ami Angelwings Even tho each had the power of Superman, several heroes (Supergirl, Powergirl, the Green Lanterns, Batman, Wonder Woman, J'onn) have proven in the past that they can go toe to toe with Superman, so I dun see why they would so easily ...
