Weekly Wonder Woman: Wonder Woman #16, Batman ’66 Meets Wonder Woman ’77 #6, Justice League/Power Rangers #2

If toys are your thing, this week’s been great for Wonder Woman fans. You might, for example, already be booking tickets to see ‘The Art of the Brick: DC Super Heroes‘ on the South Bank in London, where you’ll be able to see a Lego Wonder Woman – and not the tiny mini-figure version, either.


If Lego’s not your thing, though, some of the toys being released by Mattel to accompany Wonder Woman have been revealed, too:

It’ll make a change from playing with your Malibu Barbie, at least.

After the jump, though, we’ll look at the latest DC Comics to feature our Diana: Wonder Woman #16 continues the story of Diana’s arrival in Man’s World, gives us a couple of new gods to admire and has our heroine dealing with a chimera; meanwhile, Batman ’66 Meets ‘Wonder Woman ’77 #6 sees our time-warped heroes dealing with a Griffin; and Justice League/Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers #2 pits the Justice League against a team of ninja with giant robot dinosaurs – they’re the good guys, too, though. Surprise!

Weekly Wonder Woman: Justice League (Rebirth) #14

The only real-world news last week about our Amazon Princess involved the publication of YA photo from Justice League, this time featuring Diana, Aquaman and Cyborg in the traditional pose of “something exciting and violent might be about to happen but you ain’t seeing it yet”.

That means we’ll head off straight to the reviews. Except there was only one comic of note last week: Justice League (Rebirth). Even so, there must have been some budget cuts because it was a bottle episode. Can you believe it?

Weekly Wonder Woman: Wonder Woman #15, Justice League v Suicide Squad #6, Batman ’66 Meets Wonder Woman ’77, Wonder Woman ’77 Meets The Bionic Woman #3, The Odyssey of the Amazons #1

It’s been another quiet week for Diana news, with the only thing of note being that you can now pre-order the book looking at the art of and the making of the forthcoming movie:

That’s out May 30th, the movie’s out June 2nd, so you might want to hold off ordering the book in case of spoilers, but it’s up to you.

After the jump, though, it’s time to look at Wonder Wonder #15, Justice League v Suicide Squad #6, Batman ’66 Meets Wonder Woman ’77 #5 and Wonder Woman ’77 Meets The Bionic Woman #2. We’ll also be looking at the first issue of The Odyssey of the Amazons #1, even though Diana isn’t in it, just to see how much joined up editorial thinking there is at DC.

Weekly Wonder Woman: Trinity #5, Justice League v Suicide Squad #5, Justice League (Rebirth) #13

Normally, this is the bit where I give the latest Wonder Woman news, but there ain’t any, unless you count the new picture above. And I don’t think Supergirl teaching the Live with Kelly crew the Lynda Carter Wonder Woman twirl counts either:

Oh, the prices of a whole bunch of DC Rebirth comics are going up by a third soon, including Trinity. But not of Wonder Woman, I don’t think.

So without much – or indeed any – ado, let’s head off to the reviews of Trinity #5, Justice League v Suicide Squad #5 and Justice League (Rebirth) #13. Spoilers: at least two of them aren’t any good.

Weekly Wonder Woman: Wonder Woman (Rebirth) #14, Batman ’66 Meets Wonder Woman ’77 #4, Justice League vs Suicide Squad #4

It was a relatively quiet week last week for our Diana… if you discount the massively big spoilers for Wonder Woman that a French magazine has revealed (I’ll spoiler cloak them for you if you don’t want to read them):

Why did Zeus create the Amazons? Because shaping man in his image made his son Ares, incidentally a god of war, mad with jealousy, he convinces the guys to confront each other. To restore harmony between them, Zeus created the Amazons that Ares reduced to slavery. The Amazons revolt with the help of Zeus, who will die of the hand of his son having had time to find Themyscira, their haven of peace where they will grow Diana. (…) Diana Prince becomes Wonder Woman by helping Steve Trevor and a squad of proud arm-in-law in search of one who wants to wipe humanity off the map with deadly gas.

That’s not my translation, BTW (sacre bleu!).

Anyway, if true, that’s an interesting amalgam of all the Wonder Woman origin stories, including Greg Rucka’s current one and even Joss Whedon’s failed movie script, that’s probably going to annoy every fan with a minimum of one detail – you pick which one annoys you most – not least because it’s now about a couple of gods rather than at least one goddess. Let’s see how it all pans out on-screen, though.

In comics, there’s not a been much new. The first issue of Justice League/Power Rangers turned up but beyond the alternative cover, no Diana.

She calls on gods, he calls on the power of a T-rex. Meet Jason, the Red Ranger, in JUSTICE LEAGUE/POWER RANGERS! http://bit.ly/2jc8SEt

That means that after the jump, we’ll be looking at Wonder Woman (Rebirth) #14, Batman ’66 Meets Wonder Woman ’77 #4 and Justice League vs Suicide Squad #4, but not necessarily in that order. See you in a click.
