Wonder Woman #65 Preview

[kjn]

The preview for #65 is up!

Cale has sued Wonder Woman over the events last issue, and we get some talking heads commenting on it. Diana rages in a thunderstorm. Aphrodite has taken fashion lessions from Power Girl. Diana, Aphrodite, and Steve discuss the fate of Themyscira and the Olympians.

The writing is OK, but I'm not feeling the art. I liked Merino's work in TWH, but here the faces are inconsistent, and a lot of the expressions feels off. I do like Aphrodite's sparkly hair, thogh.

The opening doesn't really seem to lead off to anything concrete that can be resolved in this issue, but I'm willing to wait for what Wilson comes up with here. I had guessed this would be a two-issue mini-arc around Nemesis, but it appears it will stick around a bit longer.

I have to agree on the above comments and the writing. Merino's art seems rushed and Veronica Cale almost looks like a different woman. This whole disappearance of Olympus and Themyscira mystery needs to pick up steam soon.

I'm fine with the Nemesis/Veronica arc going on longer. I expect a lot of these to be long term, much like the stuff in Rucka's first run. I do hope for a semi-conclusion for the mini arc in some capacity though.

I'm glad Diana's angst seems to be getting out of the way within the first few pages. I'm glad her (complete understandable) tears and frustration seemingly were gotten out of her system, and with Aphrodite's words of encouragement, it looks like we're getting the setup for the dual search for Hermaphproditus and Themyscira arc that is coming after Giganta.

The only think I dislike, and it's more of a minor quibble, is Steve waiting for Diana. I like him being the supportive boyfriend, and it was really cute last issue, but now I kind of want the dude to go to work or something.

I have to agree on the above comments and the writing. Merino's art seems rushed and Veronica Cale almost looks like a different woman. This whole disappearance of Olympus and Themyscira mystery needs to pick up steam soon.

I don't think that's meant to be Veronica. Just a talking head on the news.

So we're up to a court scene? Interesting.

This thread is for a discussion of the contents of the preview, NOT for your general opinion of the book overall, the direction you don't like, etc.

Also, repeating the same thing over and over again in various threads is considered spamming and a violation of forum rules.

So please, in this and in other threads, stick to the topic and don't just keep repeating the same one or two lines in multiple threads.

Thanks!

Some of the inconsistencies in the art might be due to the inker, I dont recall seeing who did this issue or recall who did his previous, but that is how things look...it's Merino's style, but it looks heavier than usual which is sometimes due to an inker.

I don’t think that’s supposed to be Cale at the news desk. It’s a reporter with the same colour hair.

So we’ve gone from the plot of JMS Thor reboot to the plot of The Incredibles.

Aphrodite points out the obvious to Diana.
