Wonder Woman #1 - Preview, discussion, spoiler

[Agent Z]

I would say Superman is more of a brawler.

Compared to how Batman and Wonder Woman are more trained fighters, Supers is a guy who goes for pure fisticuffs like Kazuma Kiryu from Yakuza whose entire fighting style can be condensed to "Tank **** and Punch Hard".

Tellingly Superman never throws a kick, he always fights near exclusively with his fists.

I want to say I've seen him kick once or twice but I can't exactly remember when or where.

I'm surprised no one had anything to say about Diana dragging a guy by his neck with the lasso, something the version from the maligned David E. Kelley pilot did.

I did from the first day that the previews were out, and I still think that it is a very un-Diana thing to do, especially to a human. But I get it: making a superhero vicious is a common [tired] trope in superhero writers, especially cishetero male writers, who are always intensely focused in making superheroes appear "badass" regardless of how appropriate their shallow definition of badass is for the particular superhero.

the dragging is fine, its the fact it was around the neck that bugs me.

With the direction things are going lately, I am glad Tom King is putting anti-war on terror undertones in the new wonder woman

I just searched the issue and it looks like it's already available on Google Books. But you didn't hear it from me

Classic Tom King dialogue and narration.

Is every issue in this arc going to be narrated by Sovereign? Can't say I like this approach. It's almost like Diana is a character in someone else's story.

[Mantis-Ray]

Its gonna be interesting seeing the next couple issues which appear to have Diana doing a bit of other stuff unrelated to confronting the government.

[Agent Z]

The star effects when she smashes the tank look a little silly.

I think thats part of what makes comics, comics. For me at least, I like it.

I gotta agree on that one.

It does add a sort of epicness to the story. Its like Sovy is reciting a Greek epic poem describing the greatness of this almighty warrior that felled him. He's essentially praising Diana as the ultimate uber badass because she is the one who ultimately defeated him when many others could not.

It adds a unique flavor to the story and helps give some more character/presence to Sovy.
