Another Rare Cass Moment: Wonder Woman- Paradise Found

[espanolbot]

Context: Circe has decided to go mythological with her antics, and, after teaming up with several of Wonder Woman's other villains including the Silver Swan and the Argentinian version of Cheetah, she launches a plot to turn the male heroes of the world into animals, amongst other general spiteful hijinx.

With the whole world's supervillainess' running amuck, she decides that she needs to get help. So, she contacts Oracle to put out a message which is a more polite version of this,


What follows is both one of the best moments in Diana's series, and also somewhat depressing considering how many of those faces are no longer with us,





Steph also appears later, having being partnered up with Kyle Rayner, Jade and Batman, but unlike Cass' other appearance (one panel of her kicking Jinx in the face) she's basically just grinning like she's happy to be involved.

Also, there's a possible explanation for why Cass didn't show up in many other characters' series: she's shy.

Secret and Empress! Whatever happened to Empress, anyhow?

Thing I like: Giving characters minor roles and cameos in other books.


Stuff like that might not be obvious, but it builds awareness and support for characters. That's one of the overlooked ways to build up interest.

Yeah, Phil's run on Wonder Woman had it's problems, but it's this kind of balls to the wall (literally) craziness that made it all worth it.

I find Diana's choice of field leaders interesting. Except for Wonder Girl (who I figure is in because of Circe familiarity? Or her leadership role in YJ, put her in charge of the young heroes), pretty sensible choices, pretty much who I'd pick too.


And the heroes-turned-animals are creepy! I think that's Animal Man as a donkey, Tedd's an actual bug, Batman's a snake with no arms (gotta give him something limited after all, or he'll still be too effective), Tempest is an actual dolphin... not sure some of the others.

Ok. Once, I found some really idiotic article, where a guy explained all of us, why WW sucks. One of his stupidest arguments (I don't remember any o his arguments being smart, but whatever), was (I am not quoting exactly, but this is basicly what he said):

"When you say great Batman stories, you think of Year One or Dark Knight Returns. But when you say great WW stories, you think of.... ehh.. I cant think of any. And obviously, since I dont know any (even though I never asked anyone, who considers himself a fan of the character), it obviously means there arent any! WW suck, I am genious, blah blah blah..."

If anyone would ask me, what are WWs Year One, Long Halloween or All-Star Superman, one of the stories I would never forget to mention, is Paradise Found. It is great story and the moment in the end, where Diana is so close to abandon everything she was about is in my opinion, the greatest character moment she ever had.

BTW, the showdown with Circe in the end, perfectly shows, why I think WW killing Maxwell Lord is her own OMD.

I've always meant to post from this "all-girls" story as it has some great moments, and nice to see some cameos.

This is a great story. Unfortunately, I've only been able to track down WW 174, where these scans are from. Would you be able to post any scans of WW 175? I especially am interested in any pages with Jade in them. Its one of her few appearances I don't have.

Thanks!

Aww! She is just like his daddy!
Remember when Batman/bruce said he always dusapeared because he was afraid to say goodbye? I just love the waynes, from Alfred to Damian and earth2 Helena.


Is so beautifull to see the whole wonder gang together! Wonder Woman & Aquaman Lore need more love, you got to respect their Greek Myths background
