The All-Purpose Legend of Wonder Woman DIGITAL ONLY Spoilers/Discussion Thread

[Nyssane]

Since the digital threads seem a bit slow and we're always a few weeks behind, this thread is meant to discuss the series in DIGITAL FORM, which is pretty far ahead of the print version. So feel free to continue the print issue threads, but for now, this will be the place to post about the newest digital issues.

SPOILER WARNING: If you're only reading the print edition and don't want to be spoiled, I'd advise leaving this thread!

Issue #10 just came out on Thursday, so let's discuss!

As for my thoughts on #10:

spoilers:

It looks like the villain MAY be Hades, since he manipulates a young man named Thomas Byde into leaping to his death from a cliff (with the words "Now you are mine.") But that "Time to deceive" line could mean the Duke of Deception, who I'm honestly hoping for over Hades. I think having the old couple be the first non-Steve humans that Diana meets was a nice touch, since a grandmother's kindness is pretty unmatched. The end made me so happy, we're finally getting the classic Etta back and it seems unreal.

This all-purpose thread is a very good idea! Often my thoughts on an issue change or don't coalesce until weeks later. With this thread I can pop in and say whatever is on my mind about the digital chapters regardless of which issue is the "current" one.

I found the old, cantankerous-but-in-love couple to be charming. (They also made me think of the Kents finding baby Kal-El.) I wonder if they'll recur.

Hades didn't instantly occur to me as the villain. I have no idea who it is at the moment. Perhaps I'll get a clue upon rereading.

Etta seems like she's going to be a hoot already without even making an in-person appearance yet!

Calling WW's bracelets "armlets" seems totally pointless to me.


ETA: I had no idea the story was going to be set in the forties. I like the forties and WW.

I'm wondering if the old couple's grandson will turn out to be Steve. Would be nice for them to have a happy ending.

Oh...and I'm cool with Diana getting the bulk of her super powers from the artifacts, apparently. I never really got into the indestructible superwoman she's become.

We're 10 digital issues in and the book has an average review score of 8.7 on Comic Book Roundup. Between the high review scores and mostly positive feedback I've seen from readers/fans, I'm wondering if, maybe, this take on Wonder Woman should have been the New 52 in-continuity version. The creative team has captured Diana's voice, look, and personality perfectly. The story seems prime for a future DC Animated movie release and an action figure line.
