Wonder Woman #608 review

It’s looking bad for Diana as the Odyssey storyline resumes. The Amazons in their townhouse temple have been slaughtered, and the killers have her in their sights. After seeing off her remaining sisters, Artemis, Cheetah and Giganta pile on the Amazon princess. Mid-battle, the Oracles from the early part of J Michael Straczynski’s arc appear […]

All-New Batman: The Brave and the Bold #4 review

As a longtime Wonder Woman fan I should probably defend her against the accusation that she has a lousy Rogues’ Gallery. Sorry, no can do. Mouse Man, Firework Man, Amoeba Man, Paper Man, Egg Fu, Blue Snowman, Crimson Centipede … she’s certainly gone up against some no-hopers in her time. And while most of these […]

Wonder Woman #607 review

Talk about most improved comic. Wonder Woman this month continues the Morrigan’s campaign to turn – or kill – Diana, with the threat of the minotaur unleashed. It details the assault of Artemis, Giganta and Cheetah on the Amazons’ supposed safehouse. And it has Diana teach her sisters the true meaning of being an Amazon. […]

Wonder Woman #606 review

Ah, now this issue is going to be controversial … or not. On the one hand, one of the most popular characters in the Wonder Woman mythos meets a sticky end. On the other, well, it’s ‘only’ an alternate world story. Of course, we don’t know what elements of the Odyssey storyline will bleed back into […]

Wonder Woman #605 review

For five issues we’ve followed a new Diana, one wandering the world with a scowl on her face, anger in her heart and nothing beyond a tiara on the brain. A smile finally appeared at the end of last month’s instalment and, wonders never cease, it’s firmly in place as we rejoin Diana. More surprising […]

Wonder Woman #604 review

The Burning Man fights Diana, his attempts at boring her to death with his long, tedious backstory having failed. A montage breaks out and Diana announces she’ll gladly die in battle if she takes him, the Amazons’ tormentor, with her. Don’t do it, cries the unexpected ghost of her mum, Queen Hippolyte. Do not darken […]

Wonder Woman #603 review

Wonder Woman and her Amazon sisters are still in the Turkish desert, fleeing from bad guys. The Keres, creatures of myth, appear and send Diana to Tartarus. It’s hot down there, the Keres show up again, but some of the natives are friendly and soon she’s back in the real world. There, the bad guys’ […]
