Wonder Woman 10 coverWonder Woman #10 – “Paradise Lost” – Len Wein/George Perez/Bruce Patterson

This one starts on Mount Olympus, with the gods hanging out and discussing the Amazons and Diana’s recent triumph over Ares. Thanks to some subtle suggestions by Pan, Zeus gets it into his head that he should bang Diana (and figures she’ll be grateful for the attention), then move on and bang all the other Amazons as well.

I think the season can almost be split in two, with the first half dealing with the Rift, while the latter half shows how Xena and Gabi get past all that and find their love for each other again.

Legion of Super-Heroes 40 coverLegion of Super-Heroes #40 – “What Starfinger Touches” – Paul Levitz/Greg LaRocque, Dan Jurgens/Mike DeCarlo, Arne Starr

This one starts with a quartet of Legionnaires (Dream Girl, Element Lad, Timber Wolf, and Star Boy) hanging around in orbit outside Earth’s polymer screen (wearing protective space-suits, of course). Apparently, Dream Girl had a vision that someone would attack Earth in this spot, and that Star Boy would be integral to stopping them.
