Pines of the Appian Way was meant to conjure an image of marching legions. Superman doesn't have legions. Wonder Woman does, at least sometimes.

I was around then, in my early teens. The 1970s were a grim time for animated superheroes. There was a great deal of handwringing about 'violence' in children's programming at the time, and most of...
Always wondered why they didn't use Medea as the villain. Circe might be redeemable. A lot harder sell with Medea.
The Death of Stalin. Great performances by an ensemble of veteran actors given a very dark and hilarious script. Steve Buscemi's Khrushchev and Jason Isaacs as Marshal Zhukov are especially...
Her flaws are virtues run amok. She always tries too hard. Takes her a long time to recognize a no win situation. Very overconfident. Fine tactitian, not so great strategist.

I enjoyed The Gargoyles and Kim Possible, but find most live action TV aimed at children from the period quite hard to take....
Since DC lets Bruce consistently beat Superman.....
For me, one of the most offensive things about the Azzarello run was that it depicted Amazons raiding seagoing ships with smokestacks, well beyond the age of sail. They killed the crews and the...
I am not enjoying whatever DC is doing right now, and the current universe seems to have spun off of Dark Death something-or-other and does not interest me.
That said, this book is gorgeous, and I...
This whole list is a good start. 'Amazon' should be like 'Kryptonian', 'New God', or 'Daxamite', a race that comes with inherent superpowers. Diana is first among equals, any blessings she gets...
Always thought they were a concept that was pitifully underused and easily updated for the 21st century. Greek campus life is a bit fraught these days, but having the Holliday Girls be a women's...
Maxwell Lord, because I continue to find his heel turn incomprehensible. AFAIAC the DeMatteis/Giffen/Maguire.Hughes JLI books may be some of the best super-team ensemble writing DC has ever...
So the pandemic is conquered, the theatres are back to full speed, and the first film you want to see on the big screen is Nomadland? That's what I thought.
The Oscars have become about a...
I enjoyed the action sequences and did not think she was shorthanged physically. My bigger beef with the plot was the absence of the lasso. At some point she definitely should have become aware...
I seem to remember her using the tiara as a boomerang in JL Adventures but I don't recall the episode.
Was the Earth One version of Psycho supposed to be Nick Cave? He looked like Nick Cave to me. There was an awful lot of gratuitous weirdness in Morrison's writing, but Nick Cave as Dr. Psycho...
With Azzarello, the character of the book he wrote was such that I doubt it even ought to count as a Wonder Woman book. It simply did not strike me as a good faith effort to come to grips with her...
Did not read Death Metal; no interest in anything dark or death for the most part. If this means an extended absence for Diana of Themiscyra, my interest in DC will collapse once more, as it has in...
I don't expect strict fidelity to Greek mythology in the WW comic. But if public domain characters are going to appear in the book, then use them.
There's a three thousand year old tradition...
They just need writers to use them. Who could imagine that Batman could be challenged by Joker? A long sequence of writers using Joker turned him into a serious menace. If Cheetah or Angle Man...
I really hope this doesn't end. This book - all of these digital first books - are the most accessible and pleasing product DC has come out with in a good long time.
