Wonder Woman #600 Review
I'm about ready to scream here since I can't get the photos to post where I want them...
***
Wonder Woman finally joins the Big Boys of DC with her 600th issue. DC added up all the books of Wonder Woman and decided to put her on par with Superman and Batman, the only other books DC has been publishing since the 1940s.
The issue wasn't what I was expecting; it opens up with an introduction from Lynda Carter! Several pinups and short stories make up the issue. Adam Hughes has a cute one of Wonder Woman at the circus. Phil Jimenez has a George Perez-esque salute to Wonder Woman since 1986. Greg Horn...Greg Horn...Greg Horn...God Bless him, has come up with yet another sizzling pinup of Wonder Woman.
My favorite short story is a knee slapping tag team event with Wonder Woman and Power Girl, Batgirl makes a cameo; another one has the Amazon Princess leading a team of DC heroines. There's even a sneak preview of Action Comics #890. It's the last Wonder Woman short that has everyone in an uproar. (The art work is excellent)
Diana is still the raven haired blue eye goddess that we've all come to know and love (Thank God for small favors); however, her costume has changed. It's not fit for an Amazon goddess like herself, instead she looks more like Wonder Girl than Wonder Woman. Her appearance is more fitting for a Jedi or Sith babe on Earth. She wears a blue jacket with shoulder pads...SHOULDER PADS?!?!? Painted on jet black pants and a curve hugging crimson red top that offers about the same amount of Amazonian cleavage. She sports a choker and will leave her mark on you when she smacks you with her bracelets. Each bracelet has W engraved on it. Her back story has changed as well, drastically I might add. Wonder Woman's world is dark and dreary as Batman's Gotham. The Amazons have been slaughtered; Paradise Island is in ruins. Only Wonder Woman remains and she doesn't know who she is. For the love of Lynda Carter...WHY?!?!?
Is DC admitting that Amazon's Attack is their equivalent to Marvel's Civil War train wreck of Biblical Proportions? Amazon's Attack isn't supposed to happen now since the Amazons have all been slaughtered. DC did something similar to the Amazons back when I was a young wolf pup. It too was a train wreck of Biblical Proportions. I can only hope and pray it's just part of the short stories and not the direction that DC wants to take her. I'm puzzled by all this. They brought Gail Simone in, she brought back Wonder Woman's Diana Prince alter ego. Smart move, but this last move wasn't.
Wonder Woman 600 was a good read despite the controversial crap. Hopefully they'll wake up and we won't have another John Byrne or 'Mod' era.
