Future State Wonder Woman #1

[stubbleupdate]

Today is the first day of DC's Future State, and Future State Wonder Woman is one of the launch titles.
Deep in the heart of the Amazon rainforest lies a hero of mythic legend...Wonder Woman! But in the absence of Diana, Yara Flor has risen out of obscurity to protect Man’s World from the magic that lies within it. Along with her trusty steed, she journeys to the Underworld to rescue one of her Themysciran sisters from the grasp of Hades. Will she unleash the wrath of this god in the process? You won’t want to miss this first appearance of a character who will change the history of Wonder Woman forever!





I love the airport style signs here, almost as much as the ones that appeared in Fraction/Aja's Hawkeye

This kind of reminds me of the Nightosphere from Adventure time.

Lines. Lines everywhere.

Definitely the best of the Future State books.

I mean, it's not like there was much competition, but still.

[stubbleupdate]

I haven't checked any out, because the Batman world seems exhausting and was also £6.40

[lordultimus]

Generally meh. I think the thing I most liked from them was Supergirl's costume in the Superman of Metropolis one.

This seems like good fun!

I like Yara already, her tiny friend is adorable and I like the quirky nature of the underworld here and the little critters that work there

[lbd_nytetrayn]

I can get into this.

Also, I thought they weren't doing this? Or is this something else?

And what's the chatty redhead's name? I'm enjoying her.

[stubbleupdate]

They aren't doing Generations or 5G or whatever they wanted to call it. Who know what the overall direction is, or if this is them salvaging work that they had already done on a new line and putting it out for two months to say "There, wasn't that interesting"

[zachbeacon]

Yeah, my takeaway was that they nixed the ongoing reboot/time-jump on account of it being stupid* but figured salvaging some of the ideas for an event could be fun. This just seems like another Armageddon 2001 or DC One Million and I am all for that.

*I can't help but think about all the "One Year Later" changes that either never got explained and/or reverted to a previous status quo eventually. A bigger time jump is just going to create bigger obstacles down the line.

This is already so much more fun than the bloated mess that was Death Metal and I really hope all or at least most of the Future State books are going to be this good!

[mister_terrific]

I picked it up based on what I've seen and the comments here. I kind of like it. She reminds me of Xena, for some reason, but I'm intrigued.

[themajesticmoose]

I'm really hoping that the fellow Amazon she's out to rescue is going to turn out to be her girlfriend, to give her even more Xena energy

I mean I already really like Yara but if we find out she's canonically lesbian or bisexual and has a girlfriend I'll love her even more than Diana

[leahandillyana]

Eh. The character really annoyed me with her immaturity. She'd be an alright character were she a preteen or young teen, a heroine to turn the Super Sons into a mini Trinity. But when an adult character acts that way, it's only annoying. In general, I find the whole Future State event so far annoying. My biggest grievance is with Batman book retconning an additional son into Fox family and fridging Tam. I honestly preferred Future's End Batfam to this.

[themajesticmoose]

Tim Fox actually isn't a retcon, he was a character that was introduced all the way back in the silver/bronze age of comics

[leahandillyana]

That was two relaunches ago. For over a decade, the stories had Lucius Fox have only Luke and Tam as children.

[themajesticmoose]

Fair, this is the first time he's appeared/been mentioned in a long long time

[goodbyebird]

I was holding off on the pre-order, but this seems up my alley-ish.

[kurenai_tenka]

Not enjoying the amount of ass and crotch lines that costume/the art shows off. I've always thought Joelle Jones' art was gorgeous based on covers and what I've seen.... I didn't realise it was like this.

[stubbleupdate]

I've been paying attention to Joelle Jones since before her Minx work. I don't think superhero work plays to her strengths.



Lady Killer is a great project for her

[kurenai_tenka]

I definitely see what you mean- the style of the last one especially is perfect for her.

[superfangirl1]

Really cute, funny, and the art is pretty incredible This looks fun and weirdly interesting. I’m definitely going to read it.
