december 21st has passed where are my superpowers?
The more I see of Sovereign, the more I am convinced that King's hyperbole about the villain becoming a Joker-level iconic foe for Diana is laughably cringey.
While I'm bored of his narration...eventhough he is telling a story of events that already happened...I appreciate how "hamfisted" and direct he/King is. It's already a tedious enough subject matter without me having to search for the meaning behind every word and gesture. And I do think it works here because of the nature of his intent and his character. Sovereign doesn't seem to be the type who will mince words and meanings.
Lord Ewing *Praise His name! Uplift Him in song!* Your divine works will be remembered and glorified in worship for all eternity. Amen!
I really liked this issue. I thought the religious element added something sinister and intriguing -- I have always thought the WW as a representative of pagan gods should create a lot more conflict in a Christian crazy America. I also thought her resistance was powerful and that the moment of her breaking the lasso was very dramatic and demonstrated not only her power, but the sources of that power, her mother and her own rebellious spirit. I have liked most of this run -- the last issue had some great epic action and Giganta actually felt dangerous for the first time in like...ever.
If this means the Sovereign narration is over, I'd enjoy that.
Eh, I wasn't super thrilled by this comic. I don't really like dream sequences trope like this in general because the conclusion is obvious from the get go; she is going to break free. You could have told the same story faster because I did like how WW did break free, but it could have happened faster.
I also don't like when the villain started spouting bible quotes, like, that is another trope I dislike. It usually comes across as try hard edgy and pretty ignorant of the bible as a text. Not to mention, I feel like you have to provide a rebuttal, which I don't think King is going to do. Sure, Jesus took the form of a man, but he was was still given form by a woman, like in Catholicism, the Virgin Mary is more popular than Jesus.

Part of me wishes that instead of this talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before, unafraid to reference or not reference, put it in a blender, s*** on it, vomit on it, eat it, give birth to it new villain that Sovereign is supposed to be, the whole lasso of lies thing (which I actually like) had been used to bring back the Duke of Deception in a major way.
