By Edgar Miraculous Dyer The first TEN issues of  Michael W. Conrad' s,  Becky Cloonan' s and  Travis Moore' s tour on the  Wonder Woman  comic, called  Wonder Woman: Afterworlds,  is an exceptionally written and illustrated literary work - all the more exceptional, ..being a comic book story. I suppose you could call it, " a good start",  since the creative team just wrapped its opening story arc,  Afterworlds,  and is moving swiftly onto its next one, already much anticipated, by fans. However, I think calling it a good  start  diminishes it, somehow. It is, simply put, one of the most entertaining story cycles, to be featured in the  Wonder Woman  comic, in recent memory.

I imagine Diana's city being a port city for supernatural beings, ..like classical Amazon freedom-fighters, from a time-lost utopias, Venusian monarchs ..or roguish Asgardians. Like all immigrants, they've come to the city to make a better life for themselves, and Diana should conceivably be the protectress of their hopes for the future. In the middle of all of that, the Advanced Research Group United Support (ARGUS) - a fictional, oc

It started off set in WWII, then moved networks and the setting was updated to the late 70s (when the show was made) with the same cast..."
