Wonder Woman in Earth-2 (spoiler)

[nj06]

I really enjoy stephenwolfs design

I like his new design and I think its about time that he got one. He has always been one of my favorite of Darkseid's bunch.

Does anyone have any other scans of his new look? And is he going to be the main villain for the first story-arc?

Queen Bee?

WTH! That woman has been showing up in a number of threads I've read. Are you hinting at the next major Crisis event?

I think it's a forum joke, started when a picture of Queen Bee from a Young Justice episode was misidentified as Nu'bia.

From what little we saw of WW I loved every bit of it. Nicola draws probably one of the BEST renditions of WW and she made that new outift look great, I wish it was the main one. Though I think that she wouldnt have been caught so off guard from someone sneaking up behind her. Also was sooo nice to see a regular looking god instead of them being morphed into some monster looking thang.

You know that democracy was founded in Ancient Athens and not Rome right? The Amazons are a monarchy because DC wants them to, not because they're greek.

Technically, democracy was founded in the Garden of Eden, when God and Adam (before the fall) sat down at a table and wrote the U. S. Constitution.

What's more interesting is how they gave Jay Garrick a "Hal Jordan meets Abin Sur" origin with Mercury.

Yeah, I loved this. Really leaves me curious as to the nature of Alan Scott's powers, though. Mainly I liked that it pulls WW mythology closer to the center of the DCU, even if it IS an alternate earth.

I'm still not really seeing how this is "bait and switch" in any way at all.

Now, solliciting a Helena Bertinelli - Huntress mini series only to kill her off panel some time before the first issue and having it turn out in the final issue that the mini has been about Helena Bloody Wayne instead, that's bait and switch.

Dude... what?

:lol:

Anyways, I kind of made mention of this in The Earth 2 thread on the DC boards, but at first having the Gods called by their Roman names annoyed and confused me, but I've just decided to say it's one of those differences between universes.

Diana says "kill" many times. Her primary tool is a sword—oh boy, that'll work on an army of demons. She is mere (beautiful) muscle with no great mind behind it. She hacks away individually at the bunch while Batman (who else?) saves the day. (Amazingly, the All-Great and Powerful Superman doesn't pack much of a punch here. He too must bow before the Batgod.)

Her gods are again portrayed as mere capes in fancy disguise. Not gods at all, really. Once more the Amazons are decimated. How many times is that in the past 3 years?

Nope, think I'll skip this unless Donna Troy shows up in some fashion. Depressed/egomaniac heroes are a dime a dozen these days, and I have no wish to read their stories. I will hope at least that the JSA doesn't become the overgrown Legion of Conflicted, Confusing, and Ultimately Boring Heroes that it so often winds up being.

Nice artwork, though.

I doubt Jay is going to be depressed for long; he was wishing for a purpose, and now he has one. And did you see Alan as an egomaniac? I guess I can see that, but it's not really how I read it; he seemed more impressed by the superheros than by himself, to me. I'll have to reread it. Al Pratt didn't seem either depressed or egomaniacal to me--more like a a good soldier with a job to do.

Wouldn't the preamble have had to read "We the person and the omnipotent Creator of All Things...."?

Their plan was to buy Batman time, and that's what they did. What did you expect?

Same here. If I buy any more of these, it'll be because favorite characters are being drawn by a favorite artist; but so far the story seems tragic and ultraviolent, more of the same old same old.....

Oh, and many historians now believe that the Grey Aliens also had some input in writing the U.S. Constitution in Eden, but it's unclear whether they were actually present at the drafting. There are intriguing clues in the original Esperanto version, though.

Well batman and superman died as well. Wonder woman death was probably the best death. She died in a blaze of glory

Nah, Batman died in a blaze of glory. Diana got punked by an 80s metal band. I liked the part where Superman calls her "Sensational" and Nicola's art has never looked better, but even Earth 2... Wonder Woman deserved at least a glorious battle before death.

In that scene she just kinda herpa-derped and got skewered from behind. If the Trinity from that dimension is that weak sauce, that keeps the bar pretty low for JSA and the worlds' finest heroes.

All that aside, I'm still on board and found plenty to enjoy despite rushed and unimpressive death scenes.
