WONDER WOMAN #14
Written by Gail Simone
Art by Terry & Rachel Dodson
I picked up last issue of Wonder Woman expecting Simone to be writing it. I'm not really a big Wonder Woman fan, but there's been a lot of buzz concerning Simone's arrival and it was enough to get me to pick it up. I was a bit disappointed when I got home and found out she wasn't starting until this issue and that #13 was pretty much filler.
However, the wait was more than worth it. I was a little concerned when I started reading and Wonder Woman was fighting random super gorillas, but Simone delivers an unexpected, and enjoyable, conclusion to that encounter and, yes, it involves gorillas flinging poo.
Another questionable thing Simone decides to do is use Nazis. Captain Nazi to be precise and he has an army of Nazi friends attacking Paradise Island. Now, Nazis are sort of reserved only for Captain America and the Red Skull. While I'm willing to give Simone the benefit of the doubt, as her Nazis are revealed at the end of what is an otherwise excellent issue, I'm still going into next issue with a bit of trepidation. Nazis. I'm honestly not sure what they want with Paradise Island or why they had to be Nazis, but it will either be a resounding success or an unmitigated disaster for Simone next issue. Here's hoping for more of the same from this excellent first issue.
Verdict - Must Read
