Wonder Woman #7 - "Gifted"

[laughing_tree]

It's been a while since I've been in main continuity. DC reached out to me, and they were like, "Tom, it's time. It's time to come back, get in the waters." I was like, "No, that sounds scary and hard. I don't want to do that." Any time you have that feeling that sounds scary and hard as a writer — especially if you've been around for a while — you should lean into that so you don't get stale, so you keep taking risks. You don't want to do the same thing over and over again, ride your own coattails. -- Tom King

Is it wise to chunk that little piece of kryptonite away like that without destroying it? I really would be tempted to take one of space kittens home with me.

I really enjoy bits of their interactions of Clark annoying Diana with his dad jokes. There were also so many fun little moments throughout the issue that I liked, with them going through every possible ideas of a gift for Bruce. Then the gift they finally decide to give Bruce was really sweet and thoughtful.

I really like 'Bizarro Coluan' as an insult.

Getting some real heavy Douglas Adams vibes from that opening page.

Aww. That's a great gift for the man who has everything...

A picture of his friends being happy, so he can take it out and go: "Hm. So that's what that looks like."

Yep, really enjoying the issues that have little to nothing to do with the main plot.

There's so much to unpack about how these three relate...especially them each seeing themselves as the outsider while they see the other two as having more in common with each other.

Not pictured: Clark does also gift Bruce a diamond. Batman regifts it to an orphanage. Having an excuse to help people seems like the perfect gift for him.

This might just be my favorite portrayal of Clark ever.

I'm not sure he's ever felt so... so... relatable. So human.
