Wonder Woman

Unfortunately, it’s our last weekly round up of Wonder Woman appearances for the year, thanks to DC’s continuing ‘War on Hellenismos’ my Christmas break, which means that unless I feel invigorated in the New Year, I’ll be missing out on the next issues of both Wonder Woman and Superman/Wonder Woman and maybe even the first issue of Wonder Woman ’77, which are all due out in the next fortnight.

Let’s all pray to Dionysos for Christmas booze to fill me with life then.

Either way, I’ll be leaving you with a look at two comics. Sensation Comics Featuring Wonder Woman #18 concludes a three-part story in which Diana’s been off to Apokolips to fill it with Christmas cheer rescue some Amazons and work out what Darkseid’s been up to.

Meanwhile, we also see the surprise return of Wonder Woman in year three of Injustice: Gods Among Us, she having spent the previous year in a coma, which turns out not to be quite what it seemed. No, it wasn’t Dionysos’ Christmas booze.

Another lean week last week, seeing as Wonder Woman ’77 is taking her time getting ready for her debut, so it’s just part two of Corinna Bechko and Gabriel Hardman’s ‘Dig for Fire’ (aka Dungeon & Dragons: ‘Apokolips tavern incursion’ module) that we have to look through after the jump. Let’s talk there about fire and sewers – in that order.

As usual, we can rely on DC Comics to time its releases of comics with impeccable precision. So, after weeks of a couple of guest appearances here and there by Diana in various comics, finally, we have all the usual main Wonder Woman titles out in the same week.

When last we left both Wonder Woman and Superman/Wonder Woman, we were waving goodbye to two A-teams: Brian Azzarello and Cliff Chiang were departing Wonder Woman, having concluded their three-year reboot of the character; meanwhile, Charles Soule and (predominantly) Tony Daniel were bidding both Superman and Wonder Woman adieu over on Superman/Wonder Woman.

Joining the fold last week, we had Meredith Finch and Brian Finch on Wonder Woman #36 and Peter J Tomasi and Doug Mahnke over on Superman/Wonder Woman #13. After the jump, I’ll be looking at both issues and wondering if we’ve got two new A-teams, two new B-teams or some other alphabetical combinations.

But we’re not done. Because on top of those two, we have the conclusion of Gilbert Hernandez’s two-parter in Sensation Comics Featuring Wonder Woman #15 and in Justice League #36, we have the arrival of Wonder Woman’s movie costume in the comic book world.

It was a relatively quiet week for regular Wonder Woman last week, but in various universes (and times) she had lots to do. Most notably, over on Earth 2 – where she’s dead, of course – we got a flashback to a time when the coming apocalypse was predicted and the immortal Wonder Woman had to venture out into Man’s World to save two children – one Clark Kent and one Bruce Wayne, in fact.

Meanwhile, over in Smallviile: Continuity, there was another child of a different variety for Diana to visit and in Sensation Comics #14, everyone was on acid.

At least it seemed like it, because Gilbert Hernandez of Love and Rockets fame has just started a two-issue story.

More after the jump.
