GREAT HERA! IS THIS THE END OF THE WORLD-BUILDING CLOONAN-CONRAD ERA...OR IS IT?!

By Mel Dyer Imagine... Etta Candy, sharp-shooting Texas rancher-girl! Colonel Steve, ex-militaire coming out of World War II! Dr. Minerva, weird, werecat lady scientist and... Siegfried the Viking, dragon-slaying hero of German myth! Now, imagine them joining William Moulton Marston's Wonder Woman ..and over three-thousand savage, half-naked AMAZONS, ..red-hot from the Amazing Amazon's wild, time-leaping, empire-toppling adventures in the Golden Age of COMICS! That would've been a helluva leap into the Silver Age Fifties for this historically low-selling comic, ..if it had happened. Well, it didn't happen, ..but t hat is the kind of excitement, which the Michael W. Conrad/Becky Cloonan run - electrified by editor Brittany Holzherr, ..artists Travis Moore, Terry Dodson, Skylar Partridge, Amancay Nahuelpan, Tamara Bonvillain, Pat Brosseau and others ..s et the stage for in mid-2021! Now, the Wonder Woman comic has a dynamic regular CAST, interesting recu

HAPPILY EVER AFTERWORLDS: CONRAD, CLOONAN, MOORE AND THE SECOND GOLDEN AGE OF WONDER WOMAN

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. It may be said to herald a second Golden Age, in crafting the sort of wildly imaginative, far-flung, pulpy adventures, we haven't seen, since Mike Sekowsky' s work on the comic, ..in the Mod Era 1970s. Afterworlds is plain good reading. Let it stand, as that. In reading it, I recal

PERFECT IMPERFECTION: WHY LESS WILL NEVER BE MORE, WITH WONDER WOMAN'S ETTA CANDY!

By Edgar Miraculous Dyer A Wonderfan once said, "Nubia is perfection. Etta is perfect imperfection. Don't need 2 Nubias." I'm still there. Standing by that. I don't like to see writers or artists slimming down the original Wonder Girl, Etta Candy, for political correctness ..or modernity. I think it was a mistake tying DC Comics' Wonder Woman comic into that network-rejected David Kelley pilot - you know the one, starring Adrianne Palicki, loosely based on Greg Rucka's critically acclaimed run. The fat, weird, fun and fun- loving Etta in the comic - the Golden Age Wonder Woman's Robin - was one of the major casualties of this game-changing TV tie-in. Frankly, I don't see any reasons that Etta has to be black, anyway, ..except to tie-into that failed, never-aired Kelly TV show pilot. She might just as well be Irish, Mexican or Chinese. Etta can be anybody... any of us, ..and that was Wonder-creator William Moulton Marston's point in
