>>92850175
Nice job with that super-hearing Clark.

>>92850387
Not a direct continuity reference, but resonates back to the Aquaman story where he palled around with King Shark.

>>92850184
>>92850175
So this is their new first meeting instead of the one on the Justice League of Geoff, right? such a shame, I really liked that meeting...

>>92850450
>assume
You mean pretend in the face of contrary evidence.

>>92850656
I like to give the benefit of the doubt in these situations.

>>92850193
I've been a batfag for ages, and I can't tell if I love or hate the whole Batman>Bruce Wayne thing

so, no explanation about Superman/WW relathionship? Just, it is never happened?.

>>92850786
According to Jurgens yes, just never happened.

>>92850144
Batman being a sourpuss, how am I not surprised Rucka. Bruce shouldn't be that jaded yet that early in his career.

Okay I liked this, not sure if Wonder Woman's personality was entirely consistent across all stories, but I feel like they're doing a decent job keeping her focused on compassion and shit.

Wonder Woman? Ha! More like Blunder Woman!

>>92850224
Tell me about King Shark.

>>92850512
Kaiju a cute.

>>92850967
Why does he wear the fin?

>>92850967
He's a shark. Not a human.

>>92850167
>She's very pretty
>Hadn't noticed
Bruce is like a 12 year old pretending he's more mature than others.
>>92850193
Damn Bruce and Clark are so cute together.

>>92851163
He's a big fish

>>92850357
>>92850373
>>92850387
If you dont want to kill him then just use your fucking lasso to bind him

>>92850526
So now Wonder Woman has to
>Be Themescyra's emissary of peace in the world of man
>Be a member of the Justice League
>Protect a village in bumfuck nowhere, Japan
>Be the surrogate mother of a baby kaiju she has to visit monthly on dinosaur island
>Be the God of War?
>Be Diana Prince?
That's quite the busy life.
Besides, she doesn't have super hearing, how the fuck are the Japanese village and the kaiju supposed to contact her if there's trouble?

>>92850786
Thank God, Trinityshipping is fucking cancer

>>92850868
Vorkken pls

>>92851504

>Be the God of War?

That's not canon anymore.

>>92850640
No, it doesn't, it's wonderful.

>>92851535

It's fucking horrible. Shut the fuck up. Retarded Diana with sword in hands slicing enemies left and right and flirting with Superman just because he's strong.

>>92851535
It's Joss Whedon's Avengers for even dumber people.

>>92850352
Shit, is King Shark becoming an Aquaman side character again? HELL YEAH.

>>92850101
I like this artist.
Really makes a smile ya wanna protect.

>>92850640
I dissagree.

>>92851776

Well, you've shit taste.

>>92850217
Wait isn't King Shark technically a mutated shark with human level intelligence?
I'm not sure if that would give him less protective rights since not human or more protective rights since a one of a kind animal.

>>92851819
I think he's the son of a Hawaiian god

>>92850271
Texas Anon I want to find out your address.
So I can trigger you ever Christmas by sending a WW figure and a bunch of swords that fit into her hand.

>>92851840
He's the shark son of a shark god making him a shark at his core.

>>92851840
>>92851863
He was a Shark who was bitten by a radioactive Elvis during the Hawaii TV broadcast.

>>92850537
This.

>>92850167
Why is he wearing his reborn suit? He should be wearing his post crisis suit, unless you want to tell me Wonder Woman's only been running around for the space of a year

>>92850303
I want Wondy and Aquaman to be BFFs and go on mythic adventures together.

>>92852274

>>92850120
Lois, pls. Everyone in this story is adorable.

>>92851504
Diana doesn't like sitting idle, going by the late WML run where Themyscira disappeared and she was homeless and jobless.

>>92850402
Yeah, there's reason to care at all about the old dude or the village.

>>92852611
no reason*

>>92850193
I love this page

That was sweet. I'm loving this early years Rebirth stuff. If they keep this up, I might grudgingly accept the loss of Post-Crisis and take this as it's replacement.

That said, they ahve a LOT of work to do to fix the mess the Bat family is in.

I really liked this annual.

>>92850217

I recall that story was solicited as being longer; it was supposed to be a "then and now" story like the regular series with Scott and Sharp providing the artwork.

I will say, I don't necessarily mind beat panels, but I do prefer them this way, with at least some effort put in to changing the pose. Which, yes, I recognize is technically a bit different than a repeated beat panel but it gives the same effect and shows effort.

>>92850175

>>92850210
WW more pure than SuperDad? Waht.

>>92850440
I mean, many people can brokenly speak a language but decide they'd rather not sound retarded when trying to converse with people for the first time. especially when you have a translator handy, literally.

>>92850757
I prefer him to be firmly rooted in Bruce.

People get lost in their jobs but they don't start calling themselves their job title.

DC needs to start telling writers, canonically, how crazy bruce is. It varies far too much in main books. Elseworlds should be where they dissect his possible mental health issues.

I love how each of these focuses on Diana's kindness, compassion, and diplomatic leanings. It's almost like those traits make her likeable or something. Pfft.

Also, despite the questionable art, the kaiju one is the best. I demand that kaiju become recurring character, cause that was fuckin' adorable.

>>92850757
I get what you mean and since Bruce is holding the lasso he's bound to the truth so does that mean he sees himself as Batman or is he just omitting the Bruce part since saying he's batman is the truth anyway.

>>92850126
Are they implying wonder womn never became a jl member until later agian?

I mean the red trunks still exist,

Liam Sharp was originally solicited for this issue but has to drop out citing his workload per month without delays or emergency artist changes by DC.

Not a year just few years. Remember pre infinte crisis where wondy isn't a member until later?

This probably takes place before morrisons era.

Is this the Lois and Clark that are currently dead? Or is it the Lois and Clark that currently have a kid together?

>>92850175
She's truly bae

>>92858973
Yes.

Read Superman Reborn

>>92858973
They fused together, it's one person now

>>92859719
Clois Klane?

This makes me so very very sad that it's such a bitch to follow WW runs.

I really want to like the character and get more into her but again, it's such a mess. But every time I see her when ti's not bloodlust Diana she looks top tier

>>92850450

I think her lasso showed her that the kaiju had a "true" reason, or just showed her it wasn't just a beast. I don't think it's too far fetched to think that if she thinks something about a being and it's not the truth her lasso will warn her. And come on, in this very damn issue she said the lasso can translate.

>>92861058
Actually anon I'd argue that Wonder Woman is significantly easier to follow than Batman or Superman.

The parts that are shitty are crossovers that you can ignore.

For the most part it's just straight through from #1 through to #226, with only a couple of short fill-ins, and only one truly shitty run.

You got:
>Perez from #1-62
>WML from WW Special then #63-100
>Byrne from #101-135
>shitty era that you can skip all of except #151-153
>Jimenez era from #164-188
>Rucka era from #195-226
>Picoult era from vol. 3 #6, 7-10
>Simone era from #14-44
>Azzarello era from vol. 4 #1-35
And then Rebirth.

She's one of the few characters that you can read straight through from her post-Crisis debut up to the modern day with very few parts worth skipping, and she has few Elseworlds/OGNs to complicate things.

I recently read every post-Crisis issue in order and it was mostly a joy to read and very refreshing considering most characters require you to jump around different titles or skip entire runs.

So, is silver-armor Wonder Bitch still a thing, or (hopefully) replaced by amazing Rebirth Diana?

This was fun. I think it's a pretty fun thing to give someone as an intro to WW though, although all the stories are quite hi-action.

>>92861652
Fuck off, Rucka. Your comic is shit.

>>92861790

Someone actually likes discount-Injustice Wondy? I'm genuinely surprised. Good God man, why?

>>92861754
Something I've been thinking about lately is that maybe it's important to have action in Wondie comics.

At the end of the day, she IS a superhero, and even though Rebirth has done a wonderful job of having action while keeping Diana defensive/non-violent, you still have people saying it's boring.

Something Marston understood was that boys wouldn't be interested in Wonder Woman if she was completely peaceful. While I detest the current "badass female" character trend action is what gets people into theaters.

Maybe I've made the mistake of looking at this from a marketing/mass appeal perspective. From reviews it seems the movie may do a good job of having the necessary action to get people who need that into the theater while not going overboard and making her warrior bitch.

>>92861790

How could you possibly prefer her to this?

>>92861554
This. Plus the few stand-alone stories she has like League of One don't depend on heavy continuity.

>>92861937
>you still have people saying it's boring.

Because barely anything happens and when something of note occasionally does happen it's entirely anti-climactic. And the issue with her non-violent approach is that it doesn't offer any type of tension. It's shit like a lot of build up for a confrontation and then it's a ton of talking, "I love you" and snap, problem solved. Nothing Diana does feels like there's actual gravitas behind her actions. She doesn't even get to have any interesting and loathesome evil nemesis since they're all misunderstood victims who just need a hug. Even Ares ffs was turned into "oh he just needs his meds and left alone and he's not a bad guy deep down"

Fucking lmao damn it Bruce.

>>92861942
Imagine they do this panel in a movie with slow-mo and silly music. Like those old romantic movie beach scenes.

>Steve shooting at Diana with a machine gun and WW blocking while both laughing in the beach.

>>92862753
I wanted to reference this but I couldn't remember if Knifehead was from Pacific Rim or Gamera

>>92854606
It depends on whether it's purely the Lasso of Truth, or it has currently regained some of its old properties as a Lasso of Submission.

>>92861942
It feels like they're verging on infantalizing her, like that Starfire comic that had her written kind of as a child despite clearly being a grown-ass woman.

>>92864434
Well at that time she was only 22 and was completely new to Man's World and having the freedom to do whatever she wants, as well as her powers.

>>92864434
she just gained amazing powers and is a world with a bunch of new stuff of course she's doing stuff

>>92861937
I don't think it's a problem to have action, it might just be nice to have one less intense story in the four.

The timeline of this annual is confusing.

>>92851776
>>92851535
I found it pretty generic. I think Geoff wrote it with the intention of adapting it into the movies down the line, as it's really simplistic and very "blockbuster"-like. I found JLA Year One to be a better modernization of the origin, as it pays homage to the original incarnation of the time and the lightheartedness of the original stories, while also moving forward as it's own thing.

Thank you.

Clark is so cute and playful here. Love those brows.

>>92850807
Dude, Batman has always been a little shit to Superman when they're first getting to know each other.

>>92850807
Bruce starts out as the brooding loner asshole. After he starts hanging out with Clark and Dick he becomes less of an asshole. Then Jason dies and he goes back to being an edgy shit until he recruits Tim or Damian.

>>92852252
>expecting consistency when it comes to trunks
Dude DC HATES trunks now. We're lucky they show up at all in flashbacks, even sparingly
