Finished issue 1. Incredible. These absolute books are killing it. This issue really introduces the Absolute version of Diana and retells her origin story. Can’t wait to see where issue 2 starts.

ReplyDeleteWow! just finished issue 2. What an amazing issue. Diana saves the day; but only temporarily as she knows more, larger monsters, are on their way. She meets Steve Trevor who asks her to come back to their military camp that has since been setup since the original attack by the Harbinger. Diana warns that greater, bigger monsters are coming. She is unprepared as the last panels show a massive Kaiju who goes by "Tetracide". On to issue 3.

ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing series this is. The tetri side is wreaking havoc on Gateway city. Wonder woman attacks but realizes it is futile. A flashback shows us wonder woman sacrificing her arm to send Steve back to earth. Enter a new character Barbara, who literally runs right into wonder woman. Barbara has a background in Amazon and Kohl’s Deanna wonder woman. I’m sure we’ll learn more about Barbara in the upcoming issues since the tetra side, lures people into its jaws by sound wonder woman‘s only choice is the cast magic on everyone in Gateway city making them death. An incredible twist to end issue three. How will the populace handle being deaf? Will they help each other or turn to pure chaos? Well wonder, woman defeat the tetra side?
ReplyDeleteIssue number four opens with wonder, woman seeking the help of two sisters and Candy. The two sisters help her get her arm back. The remainder of the story has wonder, woman battling the tetri side, who she finally slices into the final panels show a mysterious antagonist called Cale who explains to the president that they’re still a very big problem,
ReplyDeleteFinished issue 5. What a great end of a fantastic first arc. Onto issue 6 for the start of a new story.
ReplyDeleteIssue 6, a new story arc begins. Dianna confronts Hades and tells him about the trials and tribulations she has faced up until their meeting. She had redirected Pegasus by use of Prometheus’ blood. She has vanquished a basilisk to gain more power - but Hades has a trick up his sleeve, he knows Diana’s one weakness, which is Cerses, her mother who Hades has chained up. Onto issue 7 - The Arena.
ReplyDeleteFinished issue 7 and the finale to the Arena arc. We learn how Diana escapes the underworld by tricking Hades. It’s her total sacrifice that wins the support of Hades wife, who helps her escape hell. Diana also must visit her mother, visit Hell, every 11 months - thus she escapes but is still able to see Ceres. I cool ending that further develops the relationship between Cerces and Diana and demonstrates Diana devotion to help others through sacrifice. Excellent book. I’ll consider grabbing sale copies after this issue.
ReplyDeleteI need issue 8 onward.
