A Quick Look at Wonder Woman #36

Writer: Gail Simone, Pencils: Aaron Lopresti.

What Happened: Last issue Wonder Woman and Tom broke up, and WW decides to take her frustrations out on Giganta. Giganta manages to convince WW that she wasn't doing anything wrong, and the two wind up girl talking about guys. From there, Zeus' champion, Achilles, nearly attacks a US military squad, but he is stopped by WW and Giganta. WW manages to defeat Achilles in combat, and he tells her that if she continues to stand in his way, her mother's life is forfeit.

What I thought: This is one of those comics that didn't leave an impression on me one way or the other. It was OK and readable, but the story just never really grabbed me. WW and Giganta hanging out on a beach together, talking about guys wasn't exactly what I was hoping for in this comic.

Score: 6 1/2 out of 10.Wonder Woman must not be up on her Greek Mythology, of course Achilles can be harmed. Just kick him in the ankle!

  9. The Departed rewritten by Geoff Johns, Batman: The Dark Knight re-written by Brad Meltzer, Glitter starring Mariah Carey Rewritten by Chris Yost. Lol

  11. Lol I knew you'd love that one. And of course he's gonna kill off about seven characters.

  12. Yeah, he'd make sure to kill off all the characters I liked in the movie too!

  13. Lol of course, Sometimes I wonder if Chris has ever written anything good or if they gave him his job as like, an episode of Punk'd or something.

  14. Yost will continue to have a job as long as that hack Joe Quesada is Marvel's EIC. Once Joe Q is FINALLY out of a job, hopefully his boys, Yost and BENDIS, will follow him out the door!

  15. Thats the day That comic heroes everywhere will come together and have a huge celebration. If it were up to me Geoff Johns, Brad Meltzer, Kevin Smith, Judd Winick and a few others would write everything,

  16. Geoff Johns practically writes everything that comes out of DC nowadays, I just say let him write every comic book from every company! Seriously though, I don't know how Geoff manges to write as much as he does every month, it's amazing.

  17. Yeah, Geoff is busy as hell but he never phones it in and always brings his "A" Game.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Yeah, that's sure the truth. You'd think a guy who's writing that much would become burnt out or something, but Geoff just keeps on going strong.

  19. He's awesome too, I didn't even know he's the writer for Superman: Secret Origin, and the first issue for that was fantastic.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Yeah, whenever you see Geoff's name on a comic, you know it's going to be a quality book.

  21. Agreed 100%, Geoff is one of the best, if not THE best comic writer today.
