Date: 2012-12-13 06:39 am (UTC)Not!Diana is awful. I want to know how she was planning on explaining this to her husband and daughter.
"Run, Lone Son of Bright Moon! Run and escape, so that I can honorably murder the hell out of you later!"
That kid is totally my favorite character in this series. He's so awesome. Hope he makes it out of this alive.

Date: 2012-12-13 07:59 am (UTC)As for the top scans, did that Superman-expy guy basically do the 'falling for Catwoman' thing but actually decided to choose her in the end?
This actually looks really interesting; I might have to start checking these out.

Date: 2012-12-13 08:26 am (UTC)She willingly brought her young son to be ritually murdered (I'd use the term "Honour killing" if such a term didn't bring bile to my throat) and only intervened because she felt that using said son as sperm bank wasn't honourable?
The fact that the son loved his mother and IIRC showed some talent in training, whilst she basically ignored him in favour of her daughter (who didn't want to train) adds to the drama I grant you.
It's an interesting decision to make character- and plot-wise, but it's so toxic to the character of the mother that I'm not sure where they can go after this, certainly as a mother and wife, because her husband KNOWS that something like this was up.

Date: 2012-12-13 08:35 am (UTC)The first scans were good, though. I find that couple very interesting.I like super dude's speech on how giving something a name doesn't really mean you own or control it. I love the woman at the table who is all like, "You supervillians always keep lists of all your victims, right?" Idiot. The scan at the end of the two of them flying off with her crying and him kissing her on the cheek made me, "awww", as well. I have a soft spot for the good guy/bad guy relationships, though.

Date: 2012-12-13 09:46 am (UTC)The valley could be interesting to use as the place of origin for an Asian version of Wonder Woman, in any case. Particularly since they weren't particularly malevolent or anything from my memory, unlike a lot of the people and creatures encountered along the way in the story.
EDIT: Turns out that the place is called Western Liang. :)

Date: 2012-12-13 11:47 am (UTC)But is Hellen Heart a female Lex Luthor?

Date: 2012-12-13 05:15 pm (UTC)A) There's a difference between wanting sex and being made to have it with women (Who think you're scum because you're male) whether you want to or not. That's basically human slavery, and no amount of teenage hormones will make up for it.
B) Suppose he's just not INTO women. Something tells me that these women wouldn't care about HIS interests or wishes at all.

Date: 2012-12-13 06:06 pm (UTC)Besides that, pretty much all the characters are terrible. I get that this is a deconstruction of super heroes, but do they always have to make every character so unlikeable? I'm just getting sick of it.

Date: 2012-12-15 04:33 am (UTC)Honestly, since their original creation in DC Comics, they've had a lot of time to be presented as always good and perfect. The last 12 years, I think, have shown people finally presenting them as otherwise - which I don't think is a bad thing.
Then, there's this - which is also fine, but still, these not!Amazons are just plain wrong.
