Wonder Woman by John Byrne Part 5

Dumb arc but gotta love that Morphing Disk jet.

Also I totally miss the old Metropolis Science Police stuff with the robot suits.

Yeah, that was a neat idea, I'm surprised they haven't brought it back

>>93165561
The worst part is they don't even try to explain this with hypnotism or magic or anything.

Literally just Diana overcome by animal magnetism.

>>93165346
Stargate. Always Stargate.

Unless it's specifically Universe, that can stay in the trash were it belongs.

I love the Science Police. They're police. For science.

John Byrne is a creepy idiot. News at 11.

At least Levitz had the decency to err on the whole Dream Girl/Atmos thing as hypnotism. Doesn't stop it from being gross, but still.

Next you'll be telling me there's aliens in AC Origins.

Oh god, it's the Capcom marketing department at it again!!

>>93165690
The ancient Egyptians were super into animal heads, yo. Damn near every important god had one, or an alternate interpretation of them had one.

I used to be really in to Egyptian mythology, and that shit is proper insane. Ever heard of the story of how Osiris's dick got eaten by a fish?

Oh, I know that, it's just that sarcophaguses (sarcophagi?) featured regular humans in them, since, you know, regular humans were "buried" in them, not animal-god people.

>>93165757
The whole "aliens built the pyramids" thing has been around a long ass time, so that's probably why.

>>93165892
Ah. Yeah, that makes no sense. Maybe these people were just really pretentious.

Though pretentious is probably the wrong word. The Egyptian pantheon was just as much a bunch of inbred idiots as any other.

>>93165757
TBF this story is based on an old Hawkman story.

I don't know WHY, but it is.

Wait, for real? That's really weird.

>>93166128
Yep, Brave and the Bold #44, The Men Who Moved the World. It's why Byrne thanks Gardner Fox and Joe Kubert in the credits here >>93166104

>>93165591
He's such an alpha. Almost as alpha as John Byrne. John Byrne is the greatest alpha in comics, the greatest artist and the finest writer. I am not a John Byrne, who is not a pedophile. It is very bad how pediphilia is often confused with ephebophilia. Again, I am not the greatest alpha in comics, John Byrne, who would never deign to post on a forum that is not fairly and well moderated like the forum of dominant alpha artist and writer, John Byrne.

>>93166163

Byrne is starting to remind me waaaay too much of Ken Penders.

It's one of the odd things about this run. Sometimes you get usual Byrne writing, sometimes you get this weird, stilted, early Silver Age writing that almost seems like it's supposed to be for kids.

Certain issues just feel totally phoned in, the one that most easily comes to mind being the one where Diana fights the giant Greek statue earlier.

After this issue things suddenly take a turn for the better.

>>93167015
Yeah, and this was the mid 90's, so there was really no excuse for this kind of writing unless you were intentionally making a throwback to older comics, which Byrne clearly isn't doing.

It's worth noting that Byrne already did the "ancient aliens" thing in his Superman run. It even had a (giant) mummy so even the whole Egyptian shit was there.

I've always felt more could be done with the Roman gods. Perhaps a War of the Gods remake?

Next is probably the highlight of the entire run. Great issue.

Thanks, OP.

>>93166191
Thank you, anonymous coward on a disgusting board full of anonymous cowards who besmirch the good name of John Byrne, who is not a pedophile. Thank you for reminding me of one thing about a John Byrne. I hear a John Byrne has an eight pack. Impressive, huh? Comics, kids! Now get in the van! Ha ha, only kidding!
