Wonder Woman

Well, what a week for Wonder Woman. Just yesterday, the return of Sensation Comics was announced:

That’s the first time in history she’s had three titles at the same time (AFAIK).

But we also have a great big crossover involving Superman – and, naturally enough, Wonder Woman – that continues Supe’s fight against Doomsday and shows its after-effects as Superman discovers that inhaling Doomsday’s remains probably isn’t the best idea ever. Leave it to Wonder Woman to save the day – using some of her shiny new god-powers and by visiting all the other women in Superman’s life, although she seems to have forgotten something…

After the jump then, we’ll have a look at Superman Doomed #1, Action Comics #31 and Superman/Wonder Woman #8. And in some parallel universes not far away, we get to glimpse one Wonder Woman of the future in Futures End #0, another Wonder Woman of the future in Justice League Beyond #20 and a Wonder Woman of the past/present in Smallville: Lanterns #10. Busy, busy, busy…

Not quite sure if I can get away with calling it Weekly Wonder Woman, given that’s it’s been three weeks since the last round-up, but seeing as there’s not actually been much out (with one honourable exception), I’m not sure it makes much difference.

Anyway, follow me after the jump for a proper look at Wonder Woman #30, as well as a couple of guest appearances by Diana and/or her lasso in Justice League #29, Justice League Beyond 2.0 #19 and Batman/Superman #9.

Normally, around this time, I’d do a round-up of all of Wonder Woman’s appearances in DC comics in the past week. Unfortunately, given that both Superman and Wonder Woman were at the epicentre of a nuclear explosion not so long ago, I can’t do that, can I?

What do you mean they survived? How…?

Okay, we’ll talk about that after the jump. We’ll also be looking at a few alternative universes: the Smallville alternative universe, where Wonder Woman is flirting away with Steve Trevor, and the Justice League Beyond alternative universes, in which a slightly older Wonder Woman is off with Batman instead.

Gosh. Still, as long as she’s having fun, hey?

Time for our round-up of Wonder Woman’s appearances in DC comics this week. Just a couple of cameos this time round. Forever Evil: ARGUS #6 continues where #5 left off – Steve Trevor on a quest for Wonder Woman’s lasso, which is currently in possession of Wonder Woman’s former friend and now arch nemesis Cheetah. Once again, most of it consists of Trevor trying to prove absolutely definitely that he’s not just Diana’s ex-boyfriend; once again, I think he doth protest too much.

In particular, thanks to the arrival of the DC Universe versions of the Morai/Fates…

…we have a flashback to a point during the recent ‘Trinity War’ – where incidentally we learn that when Wonder Woman’s using her own lasso, she can’t lie either – when Steve asked Diana if she loved him. This is probably not the answer he was looking for, though:

Ouch. But pick your moments, Steve.

Meanwhile, the somewhat dreary Masters of the Universe crossover finally ends after six issues of nonsense. As usual, it’s better for the Masters of the Universe side of things than the DC side. Wondy does turn up in Greece, still possessed by Skeletor/Dark Orko/Whoever Because I Can’t Remember Now…

…which is nice. But beyond that, she’s largely there to offer Batman help with the redecoration.

Oh well. Let’s just say you didn’t miss much if you didn’t read it.

Well, I’m surprised. As we head into the final few issues of his run, after ages of either being annoyed at Brian Azzarello’s Wonder Woman or only finding it moderately good but with some worrying aspects, I’m forced not only to say that Wonder Woman #28 is a great issue but also that it might even be the case that our Brian has had a masterplan all this time, an interesting genius plan that will essentially create a broad foundation for whomever follows him.

Or not.

Let’s talk more after the jump.
