I stopped reading the main DC Wonder Woman book after Greg Rucka finished his run, but there is a Wonder Woman book that I am currently reading: Wonder Woman/Conan by Gail Simone and Aaron Lopresti. It is fantastic in all meanings of the word.
So Justice League has finally arrived and it’s sure to make money — yes, domestically it’s a disappointment, but it still made over $281 million if you count international sales — and so the time has come to look to the future of this cinematic universe.
This was a lot more entertaining than I expected. Making it a little slice of life for regular people in a world with superheroes was a really great way to do this fight on a budget.
When a piece of media, or even just a character, has been around long enough it will resonate with different audiences for different reasons. Sometimes, due to changes of how they’re written or general audience reactions to the main themes of the character, those reasons can be wildly different, or sometimes…
I’m a big fan of Wonder WOman, have read the comic for years. The DC movie version of her doesn’t line up to what I wanted to see in a film, so I put off seeing it until I could disconnect my expectations. I finally saw it last night. Overall, it was adequate. Could have used a good editing to tighten it up, it…
Trina Robbins didn’t know she was a trailblazer when she started drawing Wonder Woman in 1986. She just did what she had always done—make strong, feminist heroes. “Every comic I ever drew was feminist,” she says. “I couldn’t help it.”
Striding through cynicism and hopelessness to honestly confront the age old problem of humanity’s penchant for self-destruction, 2017's Wonder Woman is a wonder indeed. The philosophical conflict between strong-arm tactics and the hazards of people allowed to be free is the standard underlying story for superhero…
Like many of you, I went into the theater with incredibly high hopes, and middling expectations. I’d yet to see and enjoy a movie from the DCEU. Let’s get to the point: Wonder Woman is superb. It does NOT disappoint.
Is Wonder Woman the best DC Extended Universe movie? Hell yes, by a wide margin. But that’s not exactly a big hurdle, now is it? So is Wonder Woman a good movie? That is a quite unequivocal yes. It’s not a great movie (the finale definitely could have been better), but it is a very good movie and gives us the kick-ass…
If you want to take a break from watching the burning wrecks of cars and looting local supermarkets for their men’s only magazines, the Alamo Drafthouse would like to apologize for having their women’s only screening of Wonder Woman and starting the Manpocalypse.
CJA has a new post up over at Tor.com, “Growing Up, Wonder Woman Was the Hero I Really Wanted To Be.” If her posts were one of the things that you enjoyed about io9 then this is worth the read.
The UK branch of tv station Fox have been marking the launch of torture porn series 24:Legacy with a survey of our favourite heroes. They seem surprised with the results.
So I’ve already gone through what I thought were the best returning comics of 2016. Now it’s time for the best comics that started in 2016. Yes, this does mean that some of these comics only have two or three issues out, but if so, it just means those two or three issues are really goddamn good.
Wonder Woman has been dropped as a champion for equality by the United Nations. Her tenure will end on Friday after protests that her over-sexualised image made the character an unsuitable choice for a campaign aimed at female empowerment.
This book is probably tied for my favorite book out of DC Rebirth. In fact, it is one of my favorite books currently on the shelves right now. And not just because Greg Rucka, one of my favorite writers, is writing it; everything about the book, the art, the story, the characters, the pacing, contributes to make the…
I was going to write a Top Ten list of best DC Rebirth books, but I quickly realized that there was way more than ten books on my list and also I had way too much to write about them. So instead, let’s look at one book that you may not be reading, but which is absolutely amazing: Trinity by Francis Manapul.
Robert Kanigher was one of the most prolific comic book writers of the last century. According to an interview with Christopher Irving, he would write a hundred pages a week. And it showed: after writing for the Blue Beetle at Fox Features Syndicate and Steel Sterling and the Web at MLJ/Archie, he moved over to DC…
Superman isn’t the only major character that I feel like DC struggles with, Wonder Woman, the Amazon Princess herself, seems to get the short end of the stick when it comes to consistency of character and themes.
