It just makes sense, right? In my mind they were the main male and female heroes, so of course they kissed and held hands sometimes. Then again, I thought He-Man and She-Ra were a couple, too, so what did [...]]]> https://nerdspan.com/comic-review-supermanwonder-woman-1/feed/ 1 https://nerdspan.com/spanning-the-universes-wonder-woman/ https://nerdspan.com/spanning-the-universes-wonder-woman/#comments Fri, 02 Aug 2013 21:34:52 +0000 MaraW https://nerdspan.com/?p=17749 “Spanning the Universes” spotlights a different comic book character every week and suggests stories featuring those characters for you to seek out and gleefully devour.

His goal, like that of every deity in the series, was to destroy Zola’s baby. While Hera attempts to talk her son down, and reveals that she lobbied to keep him alive rather [...]]]> https://nerdspan.com/review-wonder-woman-21/feed/ 0 https://nerdspan.com/review-wonder-woman-19/ https://nerdspan.com/review-wonder-woman-19/#comments Fri, 19 Apr 2013 20:00:01 +0000 Ian Menard https://nerdspan.com/?p=12470 This month’s issue of Wonder Woman felt like the calm before the storm, or a quiet breath before a scream. Diana and co. are taking a much-deserved breather after the last year and a half of insanity. They wander London and debate baby names. Orion hits on Diana, Diana threatens him with bodily harm. Orion takes [...]]]> https://nerdspan.com/review-wonder-woman-19/feed/ 0 https://nerdspan.com/graphic-novel-review-noir/ https://nerdspan.com/graphic-novel-review-noir/#comments Thu, 18 Apr 2013 15:00:48 +0000 Joe Grunenwald https://nerdspan.com/?p=12236 The premise behind Dark Horse’s Noir is pretty simple: take some of the biggest names in the world of crime comics and put them in one spot. Each creator or creative team has up to ten pages to tell a self-contained story, and all of the stories are crime stories.

While Diana is occupied battling Hermes, whose motivations have only become more nebulous, War visits Demeter/Harvest. The two have a fascinating relationship, as War represents chaos and destruction, [...]]]> https://nerdspan.com/review-wonder-woman-18/feed/ 0 https://nerdspan.com/review-wonder-woman-16/ https://nerdspan.com/review-wonder-woman-16/#comments Wed, 23 Jan 2013 23:30:48 +0000 Joe Grunenwald https://nerdspan.com/?p=3079 Wonder Woman is a book that has definitely benefited from DC’s line-wide relaunch. Writer Brian Azzarello has breathed new life into the amazing Amazon, updating her parentage and effectively turning the series into a family drama. That family just so happens to be the Greek pantheon. Unfortunately, this issue doesn’t live up to the example [...]]]> https://nerdspan.com/review-wonder-woman-16/feed/ 0
