Characterization on the DC Message Boards:
She's about making this world a better place for everyone, by helping corrupt and evil people see the error of their ways... and, failing that, by preventing them from harming innocent people.
Accessibility on Comic-Book Resources:
I thought this issue was an enjoyable read. Not being very familiar with Wonder Woman or Donna Troy, I appreciated the extra time spent introducing each of the characters and concepts. I also liked the brief captions about the two major villains.
And on Newsarama:
That shows how cool Donna is--she'll even give the biggest loser a sympathy f*ck
Ah, Newsarama: truly the Algonquin Round Table of our age.
ReplyDeleteDumbtards.
Man, the entire first page isabout Donna's sex-life, and there's no sex or romance in the issue.
ReplyDeleteIn many ways, the first issue reminded me of the pre-crisis Wonder Woman. And I may be a majority of one here, but I really like the Silver and Bronze Age WW.
ReplyDeleteIt was a fun issue, something I couldn't really say about WW for years.
(Rucka's run was excellent, but it wasn't really fun. As a father, the scene where a child was transformed into stone by the Medusa hit me like a punch in the gut. Speaking of Newsarama and the DC boards, I remember a post expressing disappointment that Diana acted to bring the boy back to life. Nice)
Keeper -- *Nod* It's the same Perez fans. They love it because it's relevant and well-crafted, but it screws things up for the next writer.
ReplyDeleteJenn -- You're not the only one who's ahving that problem. It's subtle, but the trick is the hair-part. Donna parts on the side, Diana in the middle. The two are supposed to look alike and have the same basic face, but normally Donna is drawn smaller all around. Someone else (somewhere, I forget where) mentioned that her armor adds bulk that wouldn't be there in her old costume.
