Wonder Woman #40


This one has the quiet cool. Blissfully removed from the dregs of Blackest Night, Diana takes a timeout to clean up the homestead. Quetzlotl, serpent son of god Quetzalcoatl, uncharacteristically swallows a city subway train without having the courtesy to first excuse the commuters. Wonder Woman does damage control & sends off the apologetic serpent with a slap on the wrist, and also heeds Q's parting warning of impending slaughter.

Elsewhere, a respected local lawyer uncharacteristically sets ablaze a synagogue. And the parishioners within. Someone should probably pay closer attention to the ethnically diverse prep school squad with ominous orange glowing eyes who really harsh the mellow at both disaster scenes. Meanwhile, Diana visits friend Bette in the hospital. Simone writes some delightful dialogue here, nice balance to Wonder Woman's witty banter & brash fighting persona. Then Power Girl & Wonder Woman beat the fuck out of each other! Yay.
