Ah no worries, her son was Marvin, a junior superhero from back in the 60s Superfriends cartoon/comic.
Diana Prince is admittedly a bit of a long shot, I just figure if they are taking this long to build up Steve seeing someone, its going to really be a curve ball to surprise readers.
And yeah, its quite neat that we are getting Villainy Inc again. Im looking forward to seeing what they do.
Yeah, the comic version of Superfriends established it to be a program run by the Justice League to train junior heroes in crime fighting as a sort of mentorship program.
But putting that aside, I just want to say im really loving all the story beats that are building up in Wonder Woman with this current run. Between this and the Nubia miniās, ive been delightfully spoiled on content
I started it? But when the Trials event started I needed to cut Evolution off so I could afford the tie in books. At this point I think iāll just wait for it to pop up on DCUI as well, because my wallet needs to recover some Which shouldnāt be to long since theres no longer a Wonder girl book and the Nubia mini is only four issues
I might try out the dark crisis book if i hear good things about how Yara is used in it? Im hearing rumors that she wont necesarily be on the final team so im not sure
Oh man, I feel this. I have been limiting myself to strictly Wonder Woman-themed subscriptions outside of DCUI lately. I almost stopped on Evolution (itās interesting but Iām not as into it as I was with TOTA and Nubia) - but anyway itās almost finished now so Iāll keep going.
I donāt think Iāll be reading Dark Crisis until it comes to DCUI. Interested to hear your thoughts on it and what Yaraās involvement ends up being, though!
On a random note, I find it fascinating how this current run is using Doctor Psycho.
When we are first introduced to him in this run we find out that he is able to astral project his consciousness into the realm of the gods and even manipulate reality within it to create constructs that could talk and move, mimicing the power of Wonder Woman.
Traveling to the astral plane was a whole thing in the golden age which happened all the time, and the construct creation was straight out of his bag of tricks in that era.
Then when we see him later on, he is using a puppeted victim as a glorified telephone who he sends leaping off a roof. Which at this point has become one of his signature tricks its been used so many times at this point.
This runs really using Psycho to his fullest as a piece of scum
Theres some fun Wonder Woman stuff on the pipeline~
Not only are we getting the Artemis solo, the continuing Nubia miniseries, and Wonder Woman vs Villainy Inc, in July,
But in August were getting a Yara Wonder Girl annual, more of Wonder Womans Villainy Inc arc, and a solo one shot about Hippolytaā¦Becoming a god?!?
Alright, now im really puzzled. So someone is backing Doctor Psycho who Psycho answers too. He has a Wonder Woman clone, professor Calculus, and Doctor Poison as minions.
There are two shadowy ādirectors of the hordeā who need the milk to be mass produced and they are seemingly on the same level as Doctor Psycho in Villainy Incs hierarchy.
And with this latest issue, its revealed whoever āmanagementā is, they had the Duke of Deception on ice and were able to send him to Psycho as a new minion.
hmmā¦Im not sure who the ādirectors of the hordeā or management are supposed to beā¦
Does anyone have any predictions or thoughts regarding this latest issue that came out today?
Iām a big Wonder Woman fan. And this current title has been pretty goodā¦but also IDK. For some reason I feel my interest dwindling and i canāt point out why. But looking forward to what comes next
I donāt know as much about the possible upcoming villains as you, but I am intrigued by the whole Villainy Inc thing and I thought it was cool that the Duke of Deception was brought in.
I continue to loath the drawn-out love-quadrangle or whatever this is. Iām not one to make predictions, but I canāt help speculating about who Steveās mystery girlfriend is. For some reason Artemis popped into my head - because given recent events that would hurt Diana the most. I have no other basis for that as I know very little about Artemis as she appears outside of the main WW book. And I genuinely hope itās not. But I would also like to see something happen with this story soon.
I can say with confidence that theres no chance its going to be her. Steve far to nice and canāt lift a two ton sword or possesses ridiculous pecs. Hes just not her type.
Fair~
Post crisis made the weird choice of pairing Steve with Etta which resulted in once again the āromance vacuumā like what we had during Steves extended dead period during the Bronze age.
I have a very similar sentiment to yours. The dwindling interest for me comes from what feels like a sillier tone to the book than the arcs that came before. Current story is not quite registering with me. The creative team have done a good enough job so far though, that Iām willing to give them the benefit of the doubt.
For me, its not that i think the tone is too silly per say. There is logic about how Psycho is executing his plan with his online channel. But I think I was expecting a more grand plot with Psycho. Especially after WW ran into him in the Asgard afterlife. But who knows? Maybe the ending will be stronger than expected
I continue to enjoy the writing style of this series. It was neat seeing the Duke of Deception worked in and Diana taking him on. Also, while I may still wish the relationship quadrangle wasnāt happening, Siegfriedās response to Steve being injured definitely elevated him in my esteem. Good boy, Siggy! Protect/avenge Steve Trevor!
Bad, scary stuff happening to Team Diana by the end of this issue. Everyone better be okay.
I am still enjoying the Adventures of Young Diana, as well. Itās a sweet and heartfelt story with very cute art.
The final issue of Wonder Woman: Evolution also came out yesterday. I donāt usually say this about any comic I purchase, least of all one with āWonder Womanā in the title, but I should have just waited for it to come to DCUI. The first few issues were promising, but I was very disappointed by the direction the plot took in the final couple of issues. Justā¦very science fiction trope-y, in my opinion. Not what I go to a Wonder Woman comic for, but maybe others enjoyed it.
Yeah, Evolutionās ending left me kindaā¦wut? I donāt think they would ever treat Batman or Superman this way. And I get that theyāre trying to make it uniquely Wonder Woman, butā¦a cliched story where Diana loses badly? That doesnāt seem to be the way to build Wonder Womanās fanbase.
