This show loves to give nods and winks to past incarnations and versions of beloved characters. Playing the 70s show theme was a great treat for us fans.
Yet. A lot of heroes got these little introductory bits before getting full episodes. Jonah Hex, Atom, Kamandi, and the Spectre are all examples. There might be more that I'm missing.
Batman: Brave and the Bold to be succeeded by Wonder Woman: Bullets and Bracelets. Pleeez? Still waiting for WWTAS.
First order of business, greeting the BFF with a warm smile. Then checking to see if Steve is hurt with a look of concern. Hmm...
"Secret agent" and out of military uniform? Is that intentional nod to Tom Tresser, or am I imagining.
And Bruce, this counts as a save. If Diana didn't take out the stormtroopers for you, you would have been shot six times before you got through the first cuff.
Probably another nod to the '70s series, where Steve and Diana were plainclothes secret agents. But then, I think putting Tresser into the book was likewise an attempt to recreate the tv show dynamic.
As with anything relating to the Brave and the Bold, this looks awesome.
And the posted cover also brought a smile to my face...before I realized that Diana's coming back from one reworking of her character just to get another one through Flashpoint.
Her attitude and the music are awesome, and I especially love how Steve, instead of being embarrassed because he was "saved by a woman", is proud of her.
But I do wish she weren't wearing such ridiculous high heels.
Yeah, Golden Age (and unfortunately, only Golden Age) Steve Trevor was a treat, especially in that time period...of course here, he just makes me go "lol steve u so useless and dependent"...sort of reminds me of what Silver Age Lois Lane would be like if she were a man.

Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.
