Wonder Woman

This week’s Weekly Wonder Woman gives us both a great, near-perfect issue of Superman/Wonder Woman – which is odd because they spend most of the issue apart – as well as a somewhat minor guest appearance by Diana in DC Universe v Masters of the Universe, about which little should be said other than at least it was better than the last one. More after the jump – and a clip from the forthcoming Justice League: War – where we discuss a decomposing Superman, an Amazon’s personal hygiene and the long-awaited return, in the British Museum on its 255th anniversary no less, of one of Wonder Woman’s oldest enemies.

Not much new Wonder Woman this week, but Injustice: Gods Among Us has returned this week, following a bit of a gap and a rethink to make it “not as shit”. Essentially, a prequel to the video game in which all the DC Universe beats everyone else up, whether they’re supposed to be friend or foe, the comic story sees what happens if Superman takes it upon himself to make the world good – quelling any and all dissent in the process.

It was a bit terrible last year, but the first issue of “Year Two” is an improvement, a somewhat sad flashback to times when Hal Jordan, Black Canary and Green Arrow were all friends, until Superman accidentally killed Green Arrow (as you do). It’s not brilliant and Supes is as out of character as you’d expect, given the storyline and its eventually video game conclusion. But as we’ve seen already, it could be a whole lot worse.

Wonder Woman, who looked a bit worse for wear last time we saw her in the Injustice universe, having been nearly nuked to death having cut open Captain Atom with her sword, seems to be fine now at Green Arrow’s funeral.

But that’s your Wonder Woman for this week, I’m afraid.

Time for our weekly round-up of things Wonder Womany in the DC Universe. There’s not been a WW-centric title out of late, but she has popped up in a few, you’ll be gratified to hear – specifically, Superman #25, in which Lois Lane bursts in on a superdate; Superman Unchained #5, in which WW is off saving the world and Superman gets to see the advantages of dating a goddess rather than a mortal; and Smallville: Harbinger #1, which sees Diana in her new Smallville-universe job at the DEO, trying to recruit none other than John Constantine as a magic consultant – with the help of Zatanna. Round up after the jump…
