Future State: Immortal Wonder Woman #2 (Wonder woman vs The Anti-Life Equation? Wtf) *spoilers
Not feeling the hamfisted Nubia shit at the end of the comic but-
Wish WW put up more of a fight against Darkseid, nerfed like a mf. In terms of feats punches from her on Darkseid would level that island.
ESPECIALLY seeing how she basically started a big bang later, SOMEHOW.
And that by itself has to be my biggest issue with the whole thing. That deus ex machina big bang.
And i genuinely don't know where the hell that came from.
I don't have an issue with Wonder woman pulling it off, but the context or foreshadowing of her being capable of that doesn't exist:
Not even in this story, maybe i need to read it again.
Superman cauterizing reality with heat vision is stupid, but it's not too off the cuff.
Starting a UNIVERSE with no set up, when you clearly could've used that ability earlier? Yeah, that's a bit much, some My Hero Academia levels of Asspull.
And going by the look on Diana's face (below) she was confused too, so what even was that? You know how much power/energy it takes to resuscitate/populate a Universe with celestial bodies?
So where was all that when Darkseid was fucking shit up?
Also why is Darkseid & Superman's death linked to an exploding Sun, they've tanked far worse, they'd be fighting long after that sun poofed.
Trapping them in the source wall (if it's still there) would've been a better end or Superman fighting & forcing him and himself into the Anti-Life Equation.
Their deaths make no sense, especially Darkseid, he'd arguably outlast Supes after the sun died.
#1's monologue boxes were very eloquent but much too talkative,
not boring so much as indulgent.
ie. I GET IT, times are tough, move on.
Fun read, the casual panels are beautiful, action panels aren't as good, basic. Diana herself is gorgeous, i think this iteration might be better drawn than Benes, who loves to showcase ass cheeks lol. This WW is just very fair in the face, very elegant femininity, and i do like that hint of gray in her hair.
Definitely one of my favorite Diana’s visually, reminds me of JLU’s Wonder Woman.
And that first kick Diana got on Darkseid was pretty well drawn, the rest could've used more emphasis of movement, and choreography.
And while i have an issue with that piece of dialogue regarding Diana basically being all Highschool crush on Superman, wondering if his last thoughts were about her?
I don't have an issue with her loving him, it's canon that she has the hott's for Clark since Action Comics #761,818, etc. possibly predating that, those are just the examples i remember vividly
It’s just those choice of words, just sounds off for Diana.
Maybe that’s just her being blunt in a moment of vulnerability, idk.
But her verbally alluding to her loving him "I loved him all the more for it", not out of character. Because again, it's canon that she does gravitate to his good nature being the anti-thesis to what most Amazons stereotype men to be.
He's the exception and the apex. Why wouldn't their Amazon princess be attracted to a genuinely good man, especially in the End times
.
The execution could've been better by giving this maybe 2 more issues to flesh out some things like Supes & WW current dynamic, the deaths of the other core League members, setting up her being able to start a Universe. Just clean up the rough points.
Honestly all those pages spent shoving Nubia down my throat COULD’VE been a whole comic spent exploring those fine details i mentioned lol.
Just wish that sudden power up could've had some clearer subtext, it's DC & she's a "Goddess", though of WAR, not creation, but it doesn't break immersion too much .
Best interpretation i got is in the void or absence of hope, she embodied Hope and physically manifested it in desperation or some shit. She was the only source of magic left in the Universe so it wouldn't be too big a stretch to just make shit happen and being a goddess could unleash some power she didn't know existed.
I GUESS this is what happens to a god when there's nothing left of creation, she creates.
No one left to believe in her, she believes in herself and starts anew, a universe, albeit unintentionally.
And she had Lanterns ring on her, the last Lantern ring in existence so maybe that played a part too. Who knows.
In isolation, if that was the point, then that's actually a really sad, yet beautiful concept. Though it’s kind of lame that the Anti-Life Equation was defeated that easily, of all the heroes to pull it off, glad it was Wonder Woman to get this W.
Otherwise, not a bad read. Swamp Things death is the biggest tragedy in the book so far, rip.
It’s only 2 issues, i recommend it.

Wonder Woman and the Egg
So, for anyone who doesn't know, Helen of Troy was born from an egg.
So the idea came after Danny was hit by a new weapon that Vlad had stolen from Pandora. It ended with Danny being imprisoned. It was a boring time for him.
Justice League/DC
Diana had found the egg while she was on patrol, and she knew it was not a normal egg. And after Clark told her, it was not a chicken but a fetus building inside of it. She chose to incubate it herself; she doesn't even want to know which God's fault it was, but someone has to take care of it.
It had been a fast and cute time for her, and with the help of her friends and family, she was able to do it! And the egg started to hatch; sadly, she had missed it because of a mission, but she had a video from the security cameras.
Her tiny blue eyes and black-haired baby boy were the most adorable beings she ever saw! And just in 1 week he could already stand on 2 legs.
Diana was already thinking about what kind of toy weapon she could train him with, how to dress him up, and all that… And Bruce, you can't adopt him, but I'll take the Batman onesie.
Diana was like a proud mother bird as she rhapsodized about her tiny Daniel to her friends, sisters, mother, and even her enemies. Cheetah would rather put herself back in prison than listen to more than one word. And Diana was scary as she noticed she was ignored by her.
Then all ended very badly for everyone.
As Daniel was first hit by a boomerang and then taken into a portal by a green dog.
To say that Diana of Themyscira was pissed would be understated. She would show why she is known as Wonder Woman, the God Killer.
Diana had hatched him and raised him, and his Godly Parents could not just steal and take him away!
Amity Park
Sam and Tucker had no idea how to fix their friend. At least they got their friend back and will help him get his real age back. Somehow.
Sam:" But he looks adorable. "
