Wonder Woman #6

While it’s unclear what Diana‘s allies were doing, especially given the recent effort to show how unwilling each of them was to let her stand alone, that’s exactly what is in store for Wonder Woman as the Sovereign sends a coordinated attack against the Amazon using the various allies gathered in the last issue (GigantaCirceDoctor PsychoAngle ManGrail, and Silver Swan) in the National Mall while leaving one more surprise for last.

Birds of Prey #5

This series has begun to spin its wheels. With the novelty of the team’s makeup worn off and no effort to really explain just what the hell the Megaera is or what it wants (other than Sin‘s body) there’s not much of note in this issue except for repeated sequences of scenes we’ve already seen before, only less effective the second time around. For example, we get Barda versus Wonder Woman again, except this time Diana is mind-controlled by the Megaera making her a far less imposing threat leading to a different outcome.

Wonder Woman #3

After one of the best Wonder Woman comics I’ve ever read, the series comes down to Earth for something closer to a middle issue of an ongoing arc. Wonder Woman #3 isn’t bad by any means, it just doesn’t measure up to last month’s terrific issue. The B-story offers a look at the Sovereign and how he uses the the Lasso of Lies to bend another supporter to his will. Let’s just say this takes up more panels of the issue than I’d like.
