Two pages from Sensation Comics featuring Wonder Woman #1

[icon_uk]

Sensation Comics featuring Wonder Woman came out last week, and consists of two stories, a pre-Nu52 story of Oracle calling in Wonder Woman to help sort out trouble in Gotham City when Batman is absent, and is a great story which I'll leave some.

The second story is by Amanda Deibert, with art from Cat Staggs, and features a fairly forgettable, but fun, confrontation between Wonder Woman and Circe (Who is doing her whole bestiamorphing magic thing, including turning some mounted police into centaurs) but the last two pages are really cute.

We see that someone has been watching the news footage of the battle on their tablet...





Now, whilst I appreciate that comics have a long way to go as regards female readers being accepted for liking male characters, it’s nice to see one moment suggesting that it’s okay for little boys to like female characters too (and that’s in the sense of admire/find them heroic rather than anything more prurient of course).

Plus, Aidan now has a fragment of the lasso of truth in his possession (it IS still the lasso of truth, right?) which is simultaneously awesome and terrifying.

Or alternatively, very big- give one to *everyone*. Anyone can call for a lie-check at any time...
