If that wasn’t enough though, the script also enables Sampere to cut loose with the art on some truly excellent action set pieces. Again, it’s all written very thoughtfully, to the point it left me thinking about this comic for days after reading, while also planning to do a re-read before Wonder Woman’s second issue. What results is a thoughtful book that is evocative of so much energy in the national climate of 2023, with shades of how politicized immigration and crime and gender have all become in our country. Using Steel in this way enables the book to play out the public, political and law enforcement reaction to all of it in a seamless and coherent way throughout the span of one oversized #1 comic. Steel, who is tasked with essentially rounding up and deporting all Amazons under federal mandate established amid the panicked backlash to the incident in Montana. There’s national and political backlash as a result, and the government makes some questionable choices. This, of course, becomes a national news story about a powerful Amazon murdering men. The premise here is that a rogue Amazon who was being harassed at a bar in Montana started brawling with her attackers, ultimately leaving all the men in the bar dead. ![]() And I thought the execution of the strong premise was just about perfect. This week’s Wonder Woman #1 is a thoughtful and intense read, one with a smart premise that enables the creative team to explore the character on a micro level as well as the implications of the Amazons existing in the world of 2023 on a marco scale. Well, if King struggled in scripting this first issue, it’s certainly not evident from the quality of the book. One of King’s answer was…Wonder Woman, a character for whom which he was about to takeover the ongoing title (you know, the one that is out this week and the subject of this very review).Īmong King’s list of reasons why writing her was tough was that Wonder Woman has had a sort of fluid continuity wherein her origin has changed often and it’s tough to pin down some of her foundational elements. It was an interesting panel with a lot of fun anecdotes, and then it wrapped up with a question about which is the hardest character to write. 'Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn)' will arrive in theaters on February 7.I saw writer Tom King on a panel at Baltimore Comic-Con recently about what it’s like to write established characters. All of these qualities make her exactly the hero fans need and the kind of friend Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn deserves. As shown in 'Young Justice', she's an excellent teacher and as we've seen multiple times in the comics, she's one of the best friends you could have. Unlike someone like Wonder Woman, there's nothing godly or otherworldly about her and that makes her a lot more relatable to the fans. She's one of the most level-headed members of pretty much every super-team she's been a part of, which is a long list going back all the way to the Justice Society of America. ![]() As if that wasn't enough, her Canary Cry is a powerful sonic attack that can incapacitate and even kill her opponents.īut it's not just her powers and skills that make Black Canary so iconic, it's also her compassion, sensibility and sheer humanity. She's a martial artist of world-class ability, capable of taking on opponents much bigger and stronger than herself.
