Weekly Wonder Woman

Assuming you’re not all too busy watching the first two episodes of DC’s new cartoon series for girls, DC SuperHero Girls, which feature a young Wonder Woman on some kind of exchange trip to Superhero High in the US, shall we mosey on over the jump to look at last week’s comics featuring Wonder Woman? 

DC Bombshells found Second World War Wonder Woman getting a new uniform and facing off against both Nazis and Allied Forces, while 1977 Wonder Woman has to deal with a familiar member of the walking dead over in Wonder Woman ’77.

Meanwhile, over in Detective Comics #45, DCYou Wonder Woman is testing both old and new Batmans (or should that be Batmen?) and in Injustice: Gods Among Us: Year Four #23, weedy Wonder Woman is saving the world from nuclear missiles. I do hope that means we’re not going to get Superman IV next issue.

Assuming you all aren’t too busy studying your statue of Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman from Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice for potential plot clues, it’s time for our weekly round-up of the Amazon princessqueen’s latest appearances in DC comics.

Surprisingly, last week’s theme was radioactivity. First, we had the culmination of Celsia 451 in Wonder Woman ’77, which gave us the eponymous villainess’s nuclear-fuelled origin. Meanwhile, over in the continuation of the Darkseid War in Justice League #44, Superman took some bad radiation and went all bad. Lastly, somewhere over the gods’s new home on Paradise Island in Injustice: Gods Among Us, the missiles are flying. Hallelujah, Hallelujah.

Do immortal gods plan for their own deaths? It’s an interesting philosophical concept, one that oddly enough last week’s Deathstroke decided to investigate.

Meanwhile, the punchy, kicky Injustice: Gods Among Us: Year Four naturally decided to ask that eternal question: “If you were a god and could destroy any other religions, which ones would you go for?”

Wonder Woman ’77? It just wanted to bring back some old comics characters, from just like in the good old days.

I’ll be talking about all of these after the jump, in Weekly Wonder Wonder. That’s next on TMINE.

You guessed it. Last week was Wonder Woman week. After the usual drip, drip of Wonder Woman ’77 and Injustice: Gods Among Us throughout the rest of the month, Wonder Woman week gives us the major fix of Wonder Woman and Superman/Wonder Woman on top of that, too.

But we had a new arrival last week, too: DC Bombshells, a World War 2-set adventure that sees Elseworld versions of all DC’s major superheroines (and some supervillainesses) ganging up to fight the Nazis. And only the Nazis.

I’ll explain after the jump.

It was something of a quiet week for our Diana, last week. Injustice: Gods Among Us: Year Four decided to follow Harley Quinn, Hippolyta and Shazam as they escaped Tartarus only to end up on Apokolips, but that didn’t involved Wondy at all. DC Bombshells continued to assemble the Bombshells team, but Wondy and Mera have still yet to make their way to the mainland, so they didn’t feature this week either.

Instead, we merely have the conclusion to Wonder Woman ’77’s latest story and a guest appearance on the somewhat dubious All-Star Section Eight. But before we come to those after the jump, I should point out that contrary to my previous statement on the subject, DC’s massive crossover event Convergence didn’t quite end with the status quo left entirely intact. In fact, three new comics are about to be launched off the back of it, involving previous continuities.

The first is Telos, who was one of the baddies in Convergence, but probably irrelevant for Wonder Woman fans. Titans Hunt, however, is a bit more on our patch, since if the current nu52/DCYou Donna Troy doesn’t appeal to you, Titans Hunt is going to give us a pre-Flashpoint Donna Troy as part of the Teen Titans to enjoy.

Meanwhile, for all those who’ve been hating on Superman/Wonder Woman (and Superman/Wonder Woman) since the nu52 made it canon, joy will be yours as Superman: Lois and Clark launches. That’ll see the further adventures of the still married, still bechilded Lois and Clark of the pre-Flashpoint universe, the big twist being… they’re actually in the DCYou universe and can only watch (and hide) while the Superman, Lois Lane and Wonder Woman of that universe do their own thing.

I’m imagining there might be a cameo or two from the Power Couple, too…
