Sexy Superheroine!: Wonder Woman X 6


Sexy Superheroine!

Periodically very special issues or series within a series of Wonder woman comic books are produced.

That is just the case in this instance.

Three issues tackle just who DC Comics' Donna Troy is.  One issue celebrates the 600th issue of Wonder Woman while another single issue brings George Perez back to pencil the Amazon Princess’s adventure along with an artist who emulated his style.

And finally a very special annual looks at who Wonder Woman is.

In the Wonder Woman Annual #1 several artists contribute their special styles to The Finale Of: Who Is Wonder Woman?  Where have I heard that before?

Of all the characters in the DC Universe Wonder Woman has had her origin tweaked and changed so many times (along with her costume) that it’s enough to make your head spin.

But, when you have superstar pencillers like Gary Frank and Terry Dodson (along with a few others) contributing their amazing artwork the Annual still is a fun read.

Longtime Wonder Woman writer and penciller George Perez returns to the title that spotlighted just how talented a scripter and artist he is.

In part of Paradise Island Lost, George teams up with artist Phil Jimenez (who is considered by many as George Perez’s artistic clone.

Check out the wraparound cover.

Like Wonder Woman Donna Troy has had her share of origin stories.

This time writer/artist John Byrne tackles her genesis in a 3-part tale that involves Wonder Woman, the original Flash the current Flash and every possible manifestation of Donna Troy through the decades.

Expect lots of surprises, plenty of action and of course that John Byrne magic.

In Wonder Woman #600 over a dozen writers and artists celebrate Wonder Woman’s landmark issue and it features an introduction by TV’s Wonder Woman: Linda Carter.

Wonder Woman has changed a lot over the decades.  She is the template by which other strong super heroines and characters in comic books get their inspiration from.

Strong, resilient, courageous, loyal and all woman, Wonder Woman is truly an Amazon Princess and inspiration.

"For I know that You are a gracious and merciful God, slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness, One who relents from doing harm." — Jonah 4:2
