Wonder Woman 7 coverWonder Woman #7 – “Rebirth” – Len Wein/George Perez/Bruce Patterson

This one starts with the Olympian gods rejoicing that Wonder Woman has ended Ares’ threat to their realm, along with the threat he posed to Earth. Artemis reminds Zeus that Diana was injured fighting Ares and the gods gaze down to Themiscyra, where the Amazons are trying to heal her wounds. But Diana’s wounds seem to be more spiritual than physical, so Zeus commands Poseidon to help. Continue reading “Comics Reviews: Wonder Woman 7, Firestorm 62, Vigilante 44, Warlord 120”

Batman 410 coverBatman #410 – “Two of a Kind” – Max Allan Collins/Dave Cockrum/Mike DeCarlo

It’s said to be six months since Bruce met Jason (last issue), but I’m not sure if that means we’re back in the present or not; I assume so, but six months seems too short if all the new Robin’s adventures are still Canon. Batman’s been educating Jason on his Rogues Gallery, with one notable exception—Two-Face. Continue reading “Comics Reviews: Batman 410, Detective 577, Outsiders 22”
