The exiled Amazon Princess returns to Paradise Island (not much of a paradise without anyone on it) in order to fend off a Nazi invasion. I like Simone’s work. There is never anything earth shattering in her writing, but she puts together a good story with action and excitement and a little bit of depth.

You may have noticed that some recent reviews I’ve posted were about comic characters going through some sort of identity crisis. Here, Wonder Woman, recently retired, is poised to do the same soul searching to understand what it means to be the super powered Amazon. But don’t worry, the comic is filled with double D …

What little I knew about Amazo just annoyed me. He’s a robot with all the powers of the Justice League’s superheroes such as Batman and Superman (sure, I have no problem with the Flash and tapping into the “speed force” so he can travel at impossible speeds, but with robots I draw the line). Yet …

I like Simone’s Birds of Prey work, but this superhero tale wherein those used to fighting earth destroying villains are sucked into political intrigue just didn’t work for me. Maybe because nothing really happened with the characters other than Simone not really capturing them.

If anyone should write the story of the two superhero teams from different publishers having it out due to the machinations of cosmically powerful beings it should be the encyclopedic Busiek. Too bad the story was nothing more than smash, crush, “hey is that my favorite villain in the background?” nonsense.

A never gave a damn about Red Tornado. Maybe that’s why I was impressed with this story. It wasn’t for the little twists and cameos brought up in the plot, but the idea that it took such a nothing character and made me care.

On Shelfari a reader writes that she loved Loved and Murder… No reasons why, no criticism, nothing more to go on. My response: How could you love this? The “storyline” of these two books are the same. In synopsis: Circe wreaks havoc by resurrecting Hippolyte and showing her Wonder Woman in US government custody, inciting …

This seems like filler and sells only on the merits of the goodness that was 52 itself by throwing a giant “52 Aftermath” logo on the cover. The main characters, Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman did not feel well-written and I did not care about anyone in this story. It felt disjointed at times and …

Again. Beyonce as Wonder Woman… What the fuck? If Warner Bros. even considers this…after that disaster known as Catwoman…then the movie deserves to go down the shitter and be made fun of by Aaron McGruder! In fact, Warner Bros. should ask McGruder if this is a good idea or not. Yes. Ask him. I don’t …

This is me angry that I even spent $5.00 on the whole series which retails for $13.00 at cover price. Countdown: Arena was crap. A story that never need been told. Shit! Shit! Nice Kubert covers is all. It would have been nice (maybe I missed this,) if there was a guide to the different …

I thoroughly enjoyed this story written by William Messner-Loebs and drawn by Mike Deodato Jr (or his “studios”). The action never died down and I kept wanting to know who Diana, the former Wonder Woman, would have to face next as there were appearances by Cheetah, Circe, The Joker, Poison Ivy, and more! I also …

Normally I love anything written by Greg Rucka, but I found this story a little too simplistic for my tastes, and the Batman versus Wonder Woman confrontation did not have the emotional impact I expected. Maybe the cover gives it away, or maybe the fight just wasn’t that good. I’d been looking forward to reading …
