Hey Tex.

Legend, eh? I just realized how weird it is that publishers can basically make their own official webcomics now. That is essentially what this is, and I don't know how to feel about that.

I find this fairly amusing, since if you'll recall, Menalippe is a bit of a dope. She can see the future, but not the fact her gods are a bunch of toxic assholes.

>>92034093
Thank you, anon. I truly believe this is the best Wonder Woman book since a while, and no doubt the best "Year One" Wondy story ever.

It's far from perfect, but it's much better than everything else, Morrison's Earth One and Rucka's Year Zero included

Here's something not in post-Crisis

Speaking of web comics. ZUDA 9 of 12
DC entered the world of webcomics with 2007's Zuda Comics, which not only saw the publisher offer all-new webcomics, but also invite submissions from new creators to join the site. Zuda lasted until 2010, when DC began to release titles digitally through comiXology and shuttered the imprint to focus on digital releases instead of webcomics.
Signature Book: Jeremy Love's award-winning Bayou, a magical realist take on the myths and horrors of the American South in the 1930s.

Lasting Legacy:Bayou along with another series, High Moon, continued as digital releases for some time after the closing of Zuda, and print collections of both series remain available.

>>92034314

Vol 2 was going to follow the Batman 66'/Wonder Woman 77's cross-over where WW would meet an little Bruce and basically be his mommy through the ages. I think she'd also meet little Clark.

>>92034369
She definitely deserves the nom for Painter. True Amazon is gorgeous.

CMX 2 of 12
DC's attempt to get into the manga market, CMX lasted six years despite initial controversy when it was revealed that material such as Tenjho Tenge was being edited so that it would be able to marketed to a wider audience.
Signature Book: Likely Tenjho Tenge, if only for the amount of attention its editing received. Alternately, Fred Gallagher's Megatokyo, a webcomic that CMX collected in print editions.

Lasting Legacy: Sadly, none of the CMX titles remain in print at DC Comics, although Viz picked up Tenjho Tenge (uncensored) and Kodanasha has Megatokyo now.

>>92034353
See I like that
That's cute

I remember there was tiny Alfred in this so it would've been cute to see him again with tiny Bruce

>>92034372

N-not like that! The writer said they'd just meet each other throughout the ages in different parts in the world and that she would be a good influence on him. She'd also help Clark not feel so different and inspire him.

FOCUS 5 of 12
One of DC's irregular attempts to provide alternatives to the traditional superhero, Focus or DC Focus, as it was alternatively called, offered stories of people with super powers that didn't involve costumes or even fighting crime. That clearly wasn't something that the readers of 2004 wanted, though. Despite four strong titles, the imprint was dead by mid-2005.
Signature Book: Steve Gerber, Mary Skenes and Brian Hurtt's Hard Time, about a teen in jail as his psychic powers emerge, managed to survive the imprint and get a second series as a "DC Comics"-branded title, as well as a recent collected edition.

Lasting Legacy:Hard Time's continued status under the DC brand.

I makes one wonder if webcomics will eventually lose their indie flare. If publishers, who have access to resources and staff, attempt to capitalize on them, there's no telling how it will change things in a currently purely creator driven medium.

And keep in mind that several creators have managed to make a solid living for themselves, so it's not like there isn't money in it. And said creators don't have the power of pop culture branding to work with.

Webcomics seem kind of like modern indie music, where you need it to be free for people to try it, and then you depend on people liking it enough to purchase the CD or the book.

I like that this does have a compromise between the classic Amazons and the Azzarello-style "realistic" Amazons. I don't know if I prefer it, but it would actually have been a really good thing to retcon into being the Rebirth origin.

The accent is OK with me because post-Crisis they kept saying she had an "exotic" accent, which I don't like but it at least has basis in the comics.

There are parts of the trailer that look kind of alright, but then it cuts to her running around with a sword and shield and blowing up a jeep. It really confirms to me that Patty Jenkins really tried to make this a Wonder Woman movie but Hollywood needs it to be a Xena Woman movie, and I bet people are going to complain about the movie feeling like two movies shoved together.

Also yeah with the modern socially acceptable kind of GRIL POWR feminism. It's toothless. What do you accomplish by criticizing the treatment of women literally one hundred years ago?

Nope, it's got Azzarello's first volume, Rebirth vol 1, Rebirth Year One, Earth One, some "Greatest Battles" thing with a Frank Cho cover, and the new edition of the first Perez trade which for some reason they chose to use her wrapped in tentacles fighting a snake as the cover.

>>92035804

From what i've read in the movie Ares hates mankind because he thinks Zeus favors them and thus set out to drive to drive men mad. In order to stop Ares then Zeus created the amazons to serve as teachers to mankind, showing them how to love and such. But eventually mankind drive mad by Zeus turned on the amazons enslaving, forcing Zeus to create Paradise Island as a safe heaven for the amazons. Then Zeus and Ares fought and Ares killed Zeus.

In the movie the amazons are peaceful, but Diana's rebellious and once she meets Steve she decided to steal the various magical weapons there and follow him to Man's World to kill Ares, who she thinks is behind WWI. For that she takes a sword called the Godkiller, which is said to be the only thing capable of killing Ares.

So while the amazons are peaceful, WW herself is not and is on a murder mission to save the world.

>Also yeah with the modern socially acceptable kind of GRIL POWR feminism. It's toothless. What do you accomplish by criticizing the treatment of women literally one hundred years ago?
You accomplish nothing aside from satisfying the egos of circlejerking idiots who don't actually understand anything about feminism.

If I may go on a tangent, is why I'm a Tamora Pierce fan. That lady actually knows how to write good feminist literature. One of the best things about those books is the acknowledgement that, frankly, yes, it IS harder for a girl to be a badass. But that only means that if you want to accomplish your goal, you have to work twice as hard. It's harsh, but that's what makes it more satisfying.

And that's what sucks about so called "modern feminism", it isn't feminism at all. It's a large scale attempt at a fucking hugbox. Go read Protector of the Small, you ninnies!

Like Perez's run, this solidly establishes a world, mythos, and characterization that other stories can naturally branch out from. I really do love Rucka's Year One but compared to this it's pretty limited in scope.

However my favorite part of that was when Diana first got to Man's World so we'll see if this does it as well as it was done there.

The idea of the Amazons being fairly culturally stagnant makes more sense if they're ALL immortals, IMO. When you have several generations growing up and getting old over thousands of years you'd think there'd be some more advancement.

>>92036827
It's a very simplistic story, but it works so far.

Diana's childhood going unexplored is likely tied in with many writers being kind of reluctant to put much focus on Themyscira itself. Sure, plenty of runs have stuff happen on the island, but the focus is usually on outside influences, even in regards to politics, where it's more often than not arguing on how to deal with exterior events.

Honestly, it may indeed be the case that an all female society is something that weirds most people out too much (see the depressingly common argument that Diana is more alien than Clark) so usually it's only the long time fan writers who ever write stories about Amazon culture in a way that doesn't make them out to be assholes.

One kinda shitty thing about going into Diana's childhood is that you can't really have Artemis there for an adorable lifelong rivalry, since the Bana-Migdhall don't reunite with the Themyscirans til way later.

Yeah, the Azz run had Aleka, but she's not Artemis, so it's not the same. Not edgy enough. Though the tsundere thing would fit quite nicely.

Hmmm... i don't know. I hate when WW is shown to be a naturally born meta, because writers have a tendency to show her as full of herself. Even when her powers are shown to be blessings she gained much later in life, writers still do that.

With her powers coming from magical items you kinda sidestep that issue. WW has no reason to think of herself as superior to the lowly humans when her powers come from items of power.

I'd have the Ares faction being the most belligerent but also the most open to outsiders and men while the Athena faction would be less aggressive but also openly man-hating though not to the extent of the Artemis faction who only sees men as sources of babies(Artemis was a goddess of childbirth) and would be, otherwise, quite pacific.

It also serves to humanize them more. Distinct subcultures is much more recognizable to your typical audience, and would help make the Amazons more approachable, potentially lessening the tendency to "other" them.

They would also cement her religion, as they are blessed by her gods.

This comic is doing a good job in humanizing WW and the amazons.

Not that WW needs it, but in this comic she's less the immortal powered hero or warrior demigoddess and more the normal mortal girl with magical items facing impossible odds.

I really fucking hate the immortal goddess who's totally disconnect from humanity and needs to be taught better about why humans can be just as worthy.

It's something I like with Superman too. There's the Superman who's an ideal and a role model. But when he's young he's not at that point yet. You only get to be someone everyone loves and looks up to like Big Blue or Wonder Woman after years of learning and earning that respect.

Not really seeing that. If anything, living for so long would teach her just how precious life is due to seeing it as so much more fleeting, thus motivating her to preserve it.

I wonder what this flag will be used to make.

well, most of those items are easy to hide under common clothes... she'd need to take them out only if she chooses to have a secret identity of sort

which is basically what this run does.

True. That's why she should use a sword mostly as a tool, not to kill. Much easier to carve open a tank with a sword, yes?

it's the details.

Yeah, but writers usually can understand that despite his powers Superman can understand and relate with humans, because he grew among them, but for some reason they sometimes fail to see Wonder Woman that way. She's shown as a goddess that doesn't understand, relate and kinda look down on the mere humans, because they don't have any powers or seem to share any of her amazonian values.

Because for some reason it seems writers fail to see the rest of the amazons as humans.

I think it's funny how old timey folks are always depicted this way, all squeaky clean and comparatively innocent, when in reality they were just as horny and raucous as they are today.
