I'm not a big fan of lat page, pre-revamp fades, though - I get sad!<br /><br />Thanks for sorting out the Superman cameo, Karl. I really thought old Nemesis was going to have killer babies, but sadly she was simply chubby.<br /><br />I think you're right, Siskoid - the Hester issues read as if he's having to work from two whole sheets of JMS notes rather than the single page Roberson had.Martin Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09574149543260175962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6392489189136721402.post-12041373226225546532011-08-26T02:33:40.474+01:002011-08-26T02:33:40.474+01:00I've only liked maybe 2 issues since Gail Simo...I've only liked maybe 2 issues since Gail Simone left the book, and this was one of them. Part of it the relief that it's finally over, but it's a small part. Mostly, it's all the stuff you talked about, and finally reading the real Wonder Woman as opposed to the JMS version.<br /><br />Sadly, I don't think Phil Hester managed to get out from under JMS' shadow the way Roberson did with Superman until the very end.Siskoidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08266365376486695812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6392489189136721402.post-55567803322237878712011-08-25T20:56:37.384+01:002011-08-25T20:56:37.384+01:00Diana's appearances in JLA and Superman during...Diana's appearances in JLA and Superman during Oddysey were explained [in a roundabout way, so typical of this awful run] by Clotho as an alternate reality sitting beside the real one; a separate story going on within the main story.<br />Glad this sad, sick mess is finally over [at least I hope it is; wouldnt put it past DC to wring more issues out of it by claiming next months new look isnt happening yet]. NuDiana being stabbed SO many times...a sign of DCs attitude towards WW in general? Even the variant cover had to include a stabbing. Nemesis's great power involved bloating really big as if she were pregnant...and thats it. What a wimp...the REAL WW wouldnt have had any trouble dispatching this one, certainly wouldnt have taken her 14 issues; even the weak fight scene she did in 612 against her was badly written [like everything else]...art was piss-poor, the Amazons and the Queen looked ill in places, Di flittered between looking juvenile and an adult.<br />The only good thing was Diana's "voice"...she finally sounded like the true WW we all know and love.<br />But too little too late sadly.<br />Oddysey has served one useful purpose for me, however; I usually hate reboots but this has made me ache in anticipation for the new-look WW book.

i read WW today, and the end reminde...hey, martin!<br /><br />i read WW today, and the end reminded me of your review for JLA: everyone's closing the doors and turning the keys on the old DCU and not in the most nuanced way possible. diana telling the readers that, no matter what, she'll always be our wonder woman seems like a terrible weight borne by a fragile promise. and like JLA, i would have preferred to see the universe just wink away on the last page. ah, well. it's all over now. thanks for nothing JMS!foresightreviewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06155745707722698576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6392489189136721402.post-50088107889483209572011-08-24T14:03:19.536+01:002011-08-24T14:03:19.536+01:00'Heroes: Reworn' - like it!
