Wonder Woman #16

Wonder Woman #16 comic reviewWhile Wonder Woman appears in this issue, primarily while being shown in news footage or while discussed by other characters, the primary focus of the issue is on the secret organization known as Godwatch. The issue reintroduces us to powerful businesswoman Veronica Cale with a resentment towards Wonder Woman given the Amazon’s ease at finding acceptance and acknowledgement in a patriarchal world.

Godwatch isn’t the only people interested in Diana as twin gods Deimos and Phobos steal the soul of Veronica’s daughter to force the CEO to use her untested technology to help the pair find the location of Themyscira, which they believe is buried somewhere in Wonder Woman’s unconscious mind. When the attempt fails, Veronica is left with even more hate for all gods walking the Earth, including Wonder Woman.

Super Powers! #1

Super Powers! #1

Mainly targeting younger readers, Super Powers #1! is a fun (if lightweight) all-ages comic featuring DC’s big three heroes. Opening in Gotham City where Batman has disappeared, Superman discovers clues leading him to discover Braniac is responsible. With the help of Wonder Woman who traces Braniac to New Krypton, the Big Blue Boy Scout finds and frees the Dark Knight Detective, leaving the heroes to deal with the villain. Personally, because it’s geared to a younger audience, I’m a little disappointed that Baltazar and Aureliani (who tag-team the writing and drawing of the comic) didn’t go for more classic Super Powers or Super Friends costumes of the heroes. Still, kids should enjoy this one. For fans.

[DC, $2.99]
