So in Wonder Woman's Injustice 2 ending she slaughters her Amazon sisters for imprisoning her

Can you say "worst DC Earth"? #BrainiacWasRight

So the story with this comic.

In 1985, Crisis on Infinite Earths came out, and following that Superman and Flash got big relaunches.

Wonder Woman would get one too, and that eventually became Perez's run.

But Perez was taking a long time and wouldn't be finished until 1987.

Thing is, back then DC didn't fully own the rights to Wonder Woman, and if they didn't publish four issues a year of a book with her name in it, they would lose those rights.

So since they didn't want to jeopardize Perez's book by continuing the first volume, Busiek was picked to buy them some time with this four issue miniseries.

Now I've never read this, but my understanding is that it's essentially a sendoff of the pre-Crisis Wonder Woman in the same vain as Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow.

>>92438211
It's funny, because I was looking at the endings in alphabetical order, meaning Diana was last, and I actually really liked some of them:
Captain Cold redeems himself after taking care of the Regime and becomes a hero alongside Flash
Flash meets up with other speedsters like Jay and Jesse, and finds out a Crisis is coming
Green Arrow joins Justice Incarnate
Brainiac is actually Brainiac 5 come to take care of his ancestor so the people of the 31st Century wouldn't fear Coluans. Even the fucking founders make a cameo

But Wondie's ending? Jesus. Then again, this is Wonder McBeth we're talking about here, so I'm not sure what I expected.

>>92438367
Yeah, it's actually pretty clever since you use Brainiac to fight Brainiac in the Arcade mode, so that's a really nice way of explaining how that's possible in the first place.

Here's a neat little article with the artist of this series, Trina Robbins:

Robert Crumb's eventual wife wrote for Wimmen's Comix, and this apparently caused a lot of tumult with Robbins.

Anyway, the story of Wimmen's Comix is pretty interesting, if you wanna check it out some time.

Nah. It was going to be FFIV based I think.

Nah, it was Earth-One. Earth-Two Wondy went missing and then made a cameo in Infinite Crisis.

It was definitely Earth-Two, because there's the famous picture of Earth-Two Superman holding her body.

She was a ghost in IC, she gave up her spot on Olympus to talk to Wonder Woman.

File: P00007.jpg (2MB, 1988x3056px) Image search: [Google]

So looking it up, this IS meant to be Earth-Two/Golden Age Wonder Woman, but Busiek and Robbins were told to use the modern day costume for some reason.

Even though this clearly is full of Earth-One stuff.

Busiek said errors are justified because "it's a legend and doesn't fit anywhere into continuity"

That's only in the Alex Ross cover, that never actually happens in the comic.

The only Wondy that dies is Earth-One when she gets blasted by the Anti-Monitor and the clay she was made of ends up back in Themyscira.

>>92440741
That's kind of what happens. The problem with Crisis is that it was supposed to end with issue 10, when the Anti-Monitor and the Spectre have a final duel at the beginning of time and all of reality gets reset, but since they stretched it out for two more issues thanks to pre-orders Wolfman had to come up with that weird reality where everyone remembers the Pre-Crisis world. And then when COIE ends suddenly all the survivors forget about the Multiverse and such. It's confusing as fuck.

Thanks for reading, folks.

Can't say I really liked that, honestly. I've heard some good things about it but I found it to be a Golden Age story without the charm Marston had. The art was OK.

Overall, it felt pretty much like what it was-- filler.
