"...Wounded and with Shanhara badly damaged, Aric gets captured by the menacing Novus Romanus Legion.  What hidden horrors lie aboard the Theodosius I wait for our hero? From the acclaimed writing duo of Michael W. Conrad and Becky Cloonan and superstar artist Liam Sharp, X-O MANOWAR UNCONQUERED #2 promises to deliver the grand space epic you’ve been waiting for..."

Who is X-O Manowar? What's his deal? He's an armored-up, bionic maniac beatin' evil, sci-fi ass--that's what! And look at that ART! You don't need a gadblame review, comixeur! This is a COLD GRAB! No guts, no GLORY!

Quit looking at this page, man!

His fine, coyote-hatin' Goldiweiller, Kirby (now moved on to that big, coyote-hatin' hate group in the Sky) ..is dead.

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
