He is very good at, as he puts it, draw people doing amazing things in skin tight outfits and revealing costumes. He has an excellent feel for his subject. This issue begins with Matthew Clark’s art leading us through Wonder Woman’s self-interrogation to her realisation that change is needed. In this issue, he drew me in with intelligent thoughtful reflection and the promise of a mystery to be solved. Going from one exceptionally strong female character to another, Rucka has proven again to be a master storyteller, who can ignite interest in a tale without having to resort to making the artist throw out huge double page spreads. It looks like the mystery of Wonder Woman’s dichotomy will be deftlytold by Greg Rucka, who moves on to this tale after completing the first wonderful Black Magick story ark. Wonder Woman is waking up to the fact that she is in a bewildering place right now. First a champion for Themyscira, now the God of War. First born of Clay, then of a one night stand with Zeus. She is arguably the most famous literary heroine of the last 100 years and since New 52 she’s been a bit… Different. I’ve jumped into the puddle with both feet and read everything so far, and been thoroughly confused and intrigued in equal measure. They were going to go back to their oh so confusing previous continuity and it sounded great. Now that being said, I became very interested in DC when it came down the grapevine that DC were going to reboot and do away with all of their new 52 nonsense. For me DC stands for Don’t Care (See what I did there?). If this were the 60’s I would be a fully paid up member of the Merry Marvel Marching Society. My sequential art proclivities lean towards Marvel.
