Last issue, Pan convinced Zeus that he should “honour” the Amazons by banging them all, starting with Diana (aka Wonder Woman). When she turned him down, Zeus freaked out and decided to make Diana undergo a multi-part test in the deadly caverns beneath Themiscyra. If she wins through, she’ll prove herself worthy (and keep her fellow Amazons from becoming Zeus’s sex toys).

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. The goddesses in attendance don’t like that idea and Artemis goes to find Athena and Hera, swearing that Themiscyra will not turn into a brothel for Zeus’s personal pleasure.

This one starts with archaeologist Barbara Minerva having blood drawn by her manservant to feed some kind of “plant god” in an unholy ritual. Minerva has decided she wants Wonder Woman’s golden lasso, so she’s contacted Wonder Woman’s publicist (Myndi Mayer) to arrange a meeting, claiming she’s found an Amazon girdle that may have belonged to Antiope.

Wonder Woman 8 coverWonder Woman #8 – “Time Passages” – Len Wein/George Perez/Bruce Patterson

This is kind of a downtime issue that uses a different format for a lot of the story, combining a handful of images with page-long blocks of text. Most of the text is told in the past tense, reminding us of what’s happened in the first seven issues and bringing us up to date on events since last issue. These mini-stories are interspersed with scenes of Cheetah and her manservant heading to the United States to find Wonder Woman … or more specifically, her magic lasso.

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”

Last issue, Ares influenced people in the United States and Russia to prepare for a nuclear war. An American general (Tolliver) actually took over a military base, planning to launch nukes at Russia to kick things off. Wonder Woman, Julia Kapatelis, Steve Trevor, Etta Candy, and Colonel Michaelis made it into the base using the talisman Diana got from Harmonia, but before they could stop Tolliver and his men, Ares showed up in person.

This one starts with the Amazons trying to figure out what’s going on in the outside world. They know Ares is causing trouble and his influence is even being felt in Themiscyra, but they can’t get any word from the gods about how Diana’s mission is going. The gods are all embarking on a huge ship that’s supposed to take them to oblivion, but the goddesses are delaying as much as possible to give Diana a chance to stop Ares.

This one starts with Colonel Steve Trevor (a war hero who’s managed to piss off some of his superiors because he testified about their warmongering attitudes) is called in to see General Kohler, who’s not a fan. Kohler orders Steve to fly out in a storm to coordinates in the middle of the ocean, taking Captain Slade with him.
