scans_daily... some pages from Blackest Night Wondy #3 that don't make me want to vomit.
Cool moment as Diana muses over the feel of wearing a ring:
The idea of Diana seeing Ares as Rage!Guy's patron, and being completely sanguine about that (pun intended, sorry), really tickles me.
Also, best reaction ever to getting blood barfed on one's face:
And my favorite, a two-page spread, with dialog so good it almost starts to make up for having to see that abhorrent costume:
And then she neatly cocoons him, shatters him and moves on, and that's all there is to it. I think it's a seriously wasted opportunity that we didn't see any of Diana's dead in this mini - Myndi would have been awesome - but I like how Max only mattered in the first one and is really just an afterthought in this ish.
... not that I can say I care for what he's an afterthought to, but again. Won't get into it. Fightin' off that red ring.
Oh, and as perravenous_raven's suggestions here, a modified Wondersapphire uniform:

Date: 2010-02-04 03:18 am (UTC)Though, without reading it in full, do you feel the other characters could be fit in without extending it beyond the issues given to it or would they need more?
But, yeah, the push on Maxwell Lords sounds like someone else's idea from where I'm sitting.

Date: 2010-02-04 03:30 am (UTC)(Actually after months of Gail's Wondy posturing all over the place, a single completely dialogless page in which Diana wordlessly, smilingly disassembles Max, not a hint of bravado, just calmly and confidently doing her job, was like a balm on my Wondy-lovin' soul.
Obviously a pretty temporary one. >.<)

Date: 2010-02-04 04:06 am (UTC)Looking at these panels, what I don't get is why she needed a ring in the first place. Is she really using the ring all that much that it's actually necessary? I suppose the idea is that you need a ring to beat Black Lantern...but, all Jaime and Booster needed was one of Ted's old light guns, IIRC.
