Wonder Woman #778 - Spoiler/Discussion

[I'm a Fish]

Synopsis:

The pursuit of Janus continues as Diana & Co. find themselves in the Phantom Zone. Xa-Du the Phantom King blocks their progression, promised freedom and a clean slate in Janus' new future, he fights Wonder Woman on her behalf. Their battle comes to a halt however, when Aethyr Lord of the Phantom Zone who is angered by Janus' breach of his realm, allows Diana & Co. safe passage.

Now finding themselves in the Realm of Bat-Mite and Myxlplyx, Diana joins forces with both to confront Janus. With Deadman as her hostage, Janus escapes capture yet again. And while Diana continues multiverse hoping, we get a quick peek at Wonder-Mite.

Now In Gem World, a full on brawl breaks out between Diana and Janus. Diana tries to convince Janus to return, but Janus won't be swayed. Using her purple lasso, which has the ability to bend the recipient to the users will, Diana binds Janus in its grip. But at that crucial moment, Diana decides against using it, giving Janus the opening she needed to cut the lasso.

Opening another portal Diana finds herself in a Prehistoric Era. Janus commences in burning the past to cause the destruction of the future. As Diana flies Siegfried overhead, he tells her how much of the universe this adventure has shown him and will stand by his oath to fight at Diana's side no mater what happens.

With the past now burnt, Janus jumps to the future. Diana follows, and finds a barren void her Earth once occupied. Janus' mission complete, she kills Deadman and welcomes Diana to the future.

I liked this issue! The multiverse hoping was in full swing here, and it was a lot of fast-paced storytelling but the issue didn't feel short.

Janus is still a bit bland and I find her origin and design to be the most interesting things about her. But that's ok, not every villain has to be #deep. She's serving her purpose.

Wonder-Mite was cute. (Also they couldn't resist the damn BvS reference, lol)

Wish we got to see more of Diana's Gem World outfit, or just more of Gem World...but this book kind-of grips you by the face and screams, "we ain't got the time to slow down right now!"

Anyways, I look forward to next week.

The unbreakable lasso was cut?!? I don't care if some will say it wasn't the normal lasso she carries or a different color, it was cut?!?

I guess I am not sure what the definition of unbreakable is in the DC universe.

[Gaius]

lol

[Sebastianne]

I really loved this number.
Perfectly managed the pace, kept me in suspense, expectant and anxious.
I must say that something like this had not happened to me with a comic for a long time, all my feelings on the surface.
I also realized that I am terrified that something bad will happen to Siggy.
As for Janus, she explains his purpose further and it seems to me that it all fits together very well.
I really want to read the outcome of all this, I'll be waiting for the next issue biting my nails.

lol

A thunderous applause!

[Shimbo]

lol

This had me squealing. I would have preferred Wonder Tot but Diana finally having her own 5th Dimensional counterpart is all that matters!

Also, goddamn Moore's art and Bonvillain's coloring was fantastic this issue! His facial expressions for Diana are divine. His Siggy was certifiably beefcake goodness and that panel of Diana flying 3/4ths unclothed Siggy over a fire was the best part of the issue. Gorgeous!

The back-up was weird...is Diana cursed? She's clearly sweating and the only one feeling the heat.

A wildly fun issue and I can't wait for the next issue!

I like imagine some cartoon-y version of the "Is She With You?" accompanies her wherever she goes.

About time she got one .

And so the tradition of Diana carrying her BF’s continues, lol.

Who said it was unbreakable?

Her lasso has always been said to be unbreakable. If the writers are using the excuse that it is different colored to say that it can be broken or cut, really weak sauce there.
