- Tom King's take on the most important female superhero it DC Comics, Wonder Woman #1 releases this week. Wes reviews Wonder Woman #1 from Tom King and Daniel Sampere. And while Wes is very impressed about certain aspects of the comic, there are many other pieces that fall apart under scrutiny. Like all of Tom King's work at DC Comics. He once again throws characterization, established lore and history out the window to fit his own personnel narrative. Leaving this a good comic book, but a terrible Wonder Woman story. Lets talk about Tom King's Wonder Woman #1.

#dccomics #wonderwoman #comicbooks
19 dudes killed and the whole country loses its mind? This country has Gotham City in it and a gazillion of supervillains. 19 dead in a dive bar somewhere should be just another Thursday. By the way, the Wonder Woman I know would go after this woman with all her might. And of course that the villain is an old, rich, white guy. I'm sure it will be mentioned later that he's straight too, so there wouldn't be any doubts 🙄
If I were ever to find a genie in a bottle, my first wish would be for Tom King to never write mainstream comics ever again. I think that would be one of the most altruistic actions ever taken.
Good old Tom. After disrespecting iconic male characters, its now time for him to destroy Diana’s legacy as well.
It’s just shocking how he continues to get the biggest characters, DC just doesn’t make sense to me.
@@InfamyOrDeath-__-He loves milking the whole "I was in the CIA" thing. It worked on me when he first wrote Batman. I thought that was going to be the coolest thing ever, a former CIA agent writing Batman. Then he turned Catwoman into Batman's mommy wife, had Bruce punch Damian (his own teenage son) in the face and killed Alfred. Tom King's entire Batman run was just one giant bitch slap.
He destroyed ice from JLI far from the most iconic character I know but to act like women have been completely safe from king’s “deconstruction” is false
i read the issue 1 and nothing was wrong
the story was interesting for the fast issue
please tell me how did wonder woman legacy got ruin at this first issue?
@@Mi-Jung_Kim-tq2bl Did you not listen to the video?
Its always hurts me when art in comic book is outstanding and story is bad.
It always hurts me when the art in the story is awful, but the story is anazing.
Tom King did say in an interview a couple of years ago, I think it was either during the first part of his run in Batman or during heroes in Crisis, that he uses his job as a writer as his therapy. And there lies the problem. Dude has a lot of issues and makes everyone messed up. Mr. Miracle, Batman, Heroes in Crisis, Strange Adventures, they all have this pattern and he is carrying it to Wonder Woman but will use "look how I'm a progressive guy" card to make people ignore his problematic writing.
It kind of sounds like he's using Sarge Steel as his stand-in (especially if he feels like he did bad things and feels bad about them) and that it should have been a Sarge Steel mini-series guest-starring Wonder Woman.
That same panel he "promised" he was going to make more positive comics. Oy vey!
@@LibraGamesUnlimited or not writing at all hahaha. Dude should just get treatment and do something else
@@kevinellis8017 oh yeah, now I recall. Yeah, positive in bizarro world
Writing can be therapy, as long as the author isn't sinking the writing with personal issues, agenda & politics.
Isn't Cheetah or Ares Wonder Woman's top villians. I know these writers want to create new characters but Tom King on Wonder Woman is going to start out ok and then becomes dumpster fire the longer he writes on the book.
one could say that its a Trinity Of Joker Level villains in Circe, Ares and Cheetah, from my view.
Ares is the only notable villain in WW rogues gallery the rest are trash.
I read the first issue and it was rough… I get the refugee/ illegal alien, allegory that Tom King is using for the Amazons, but the execution was completely flawed.
all the men in this issue come across as completely misogynistic, except for Steve Trevor. The tone of the writing feels like an incel teenager complaining on a Reddit forum.
There’s no subtlety or nuance at all. It’s just more tearing down one gender to empower another. I hope it gets better, but it sounds like Tom King hasn’t learned that he’s “Kenough” yet.
W0rD 💥 an a half !
That's what happens when you write around an agenda rather than the other way around.
It's annoying but I can't really get mad at him for disregarding continuity. I can get mad at him for disregarding characterization, and just nonsense storytelling. I can't get mad at him for disregarding continuity, because I know if I was a writer at DC I would disregard everything he writes. It would be like his stories never happened.
Also can we take a moment to talk about how stupid The Sovereign looks? I don't know what time King was thinking, but he honestly looks like a parody character. Not menacing in the slightest.
😂😂😂😂
Well, it's Tom King, if you see his name on a book treat it like it causes testicular cancer.
The worst part was Tom King renaming her homeland They/Themyscira.
Please tell me this is a joke
@@32FONickweiserIt’s a joke.
@@Rasdock sadly it doesn't sound out of line in todays world.
So it’s basically Wonder Woman’s Amazon’s are being hunted like the mutants in the X-Men. Pass
Is it me or is that Monarch of America just a boring version of General Immortus?
I don't think Tom King is the right writer for Wonder Woman. I don't know who is, I don't know if DC even knows.
Honestly they should’ve had her take a 5 year hiatus after Dark Knights Death Metal. DC doesn’t know how to use her so it would be best to put her on the back burner for a while.
DC never had a true idea how to write Wonder Woman character since William Moulton Marston death in the 40's.Perez was the most close in to succeed and even your take in Diane just don't stick for many years too.
@@EvandroACruz , it seems that it's not just WW they don't get, it's other characters as well, like Catwoman. What's sad is I don't even know that much about the characters, but I think that Tom King, more writers should make an approaches like Robert Venditti doing Hawkman. Who read and learned as much as he could about Hawkman. Do we think that Tom and other bad writers had done that. I doubt it, or I would be surprised if they did. And I mean get to really know the history of WW, and learn about William Moulton Marston and try to keep an open mind and ignore the hearsay.
But look they couldn't even get characters right like Wonder Woman's fam., Fire, Ice, Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy, Hawkgirl, Supergirl, Power Girl, Green Lantern (Alan Scott), Young Justice, etc. It would be a long list if I named all the characters that DC screwed up. And this is only DC, Marvel's probably just as bad if not worst. I'm just a casual that follow, (I have been more into eastern entertainment). I can't imagine how painful it is for *real* fans that know and love these characters far better and longer than me having to go through this.
@@RollingDodge Yes,Marvel is worst just look to the X-Men today.
The ones who virtue signal the loudest are usually have the darkest skeletons.
Tom King have used comics as his personal therapist and mommy wife for years.
I recall people hating a comic that made Wonder Woman hate men, but now it's okay because reasons. The age of Wonder Wahman.
Just another example of a lack of editorial guidance. Jim Lee is resting on his laurels while the entire DC line goes to Hell. If those in charge don't hand the reins over to competent writers & editors DC is doomed. A complete rebooting is the only way they can save it.
The last time Wonder Woman got attached to anything close to talking about 9/11 it was Amazon’s Attack. And Wondy got sidelined in that trash fire too. (Edit: you mention Amazon’s Attack later in the video)
And guess what we going to get Amazon's attack part two because I've been upcoming panels that's been drawn so you know it's going to tie in to this event
@@treymykelI look forward to not reading it. It was a bad idea then, it’s a stupid idea now.
Was that the Greg Rucka book where the Amazons take George Bush hostage?
@@ChrisSuperDude Amazon’s Attack was actually written by Will Pfeifer and pencilled by Pete Woods. Although if I remember correctly yes that did happen. Amazons also went slaughtering civilians indiscriminately (including kids) and not one of them questioned that Hippolyta was being blatantly uncharacteristically evil and the ones that did suspect something, like Wonder Woman, just stood around and did nothing (Hippolyta was Granny Goodness the whole time).
Amazon Attack ruined the amazons reputation as peacemakers.It's sad that shit event is canon again.
I just wish that DC would stop employing Tom King in all capacities.
Me too. I don't know what he has over the ppl that work there.
15:48 At this point. Just let Tom Ween write political cartoons for the Times and maybe it will cure his emotional constipation and spare us comic readers.
I’m honestly surprised that DC hired a guy to write Wonder Woman and not… well a woman.
Tom King hates his own gender more than any woman could.
Ha
King's not a woman, but he's definitely a pussy.
Or at the very least a guy that identifies as a woman 😁
Because the previous writer was a woman and her run and event storyline was awful, which torpedoed sales. King Is a name that DC knows sells no matter what he’s writing, so from a business standpoint, I can’t blame them.
First and I don't think this will be a good run.
💯📠
Tom King one of the few dudes I know with mommy AND daddy issues. Stop using our favorite characters for therapy Tom!
You should make a video discussing why the Joker is such an impactful character. I'd like to see that.
should we just call him, tom queen?
Oh, nice.
The good things about this comic (aside from the artwork) are Sarge Steel doing something, Diana not surrendering to the military and doing her throwing the tiara thing from pre-Crisis as well as talking to Steve Trevor and resuming her identity as Diana Prince, and the appearance of the Sovereign.
So Sarge Steel is now Sargent Steel, as in that’s his name (like Sargent Shriver)? Because if it’s still his rank (Sarge short for Sgt), it would be spelled Sergeant. Tom King would know that.
Tom King wants to break down the male characters into unheroic depressives, i.e. himself. Perhaps he's breaking down Wonder Woman into the women close to him. Which seems to be a woman thats not there.
And btw, since Themyscara is paradise, but also Bronze Age Greece, the Amazons might be visiting other nations for indoor plumbing. 😂
Honestly it's the first issue how do you know there is going to be no Wonder Woman in this entire series
The Lasso...of...Lies?!!!! The Lasso of Lies?!!!
Whyyyyyyyyyyyy?
I knew this was going to be bad...I knew it.
And I asked the same question as you Wes "Why are Amazons living in America?" Oy!
Yeah, what good intelligent use could a villian have with a lasso of lies???? You wrap it around someone and it would make them lie??? Wonder Woman has the Lasso of Truth so she can deep interrogate someone like a criminal without the need of being scary or threatening like Batman.
So, how are the various groups, “rounding up” said Amazons? Where are the Justice League and the other capes and cowls?
This could be an interesting Image Comics short run/single graphic novel, but Tom King is most definitely not Alan Moore. Sadly this was quite lazy writing and research, and yet again another horrible story to further sink the “Wonder Woman” titles.
On a happier note the Warren Ellis titles on Image Comics are very much still quite available.
Tom King reminds me of Brad Meltzer’s run in DC Comics. He doesn’t really know as much as he thinks about the DCU but that’s okay, no one will correct him. I really wish he’d go and ruin his own characters.
Idk I thought his Green Arrow. Run after Kevin Smiths was pretty good, his Justice League of America run was fun.
Identity crisis is not as bad as it gets hate for. It was… extreme to say the least but the scene where Deathstroke systematically takes out the justice league was pretty cool.
That’s just me though.
@@cicolasnage5684 I didn’t like The Archer’s Quest. Hated Identity Crisis. Hated his JLA run. Hated his part of The Lightning Saga. Hated him portraying himself as a bastion of Silver Age knowledge when he got so much wrong that wasn’t caught by editors like Firestorm being killed like Captain Atom and thinking Red Tornado and Wildfire had any link to each other whatsoever.
@@cicolasnage5684 Identity Crisis is pure dogshit take all the DCU in a darkest place until the N52 rebbot.
Tom King has to be my most hated writer at the big two for their writing and not because of their personality/politics
Every now and then I start to wonder is I'm being unreasonable with my stance of not reading any new Marvel or DC comics. Then videos like this come out and give me renewed reason not to care about these characters that merely share the same name as the characters I used to read about...
To be fair, I doubt that he sees this villain as a Trump substitute because cleverly, quietly working behind the scenes is the exact opposite of what Trump does… he probably sees this villain as the force behind someone like Trump however.
I dont know the force unless you mean his supporters
@@sarov7658 It would be no one that we know of (if they even existed), which is kind of the point with a behind the scenes, master manipulator. The point is that, if this character is going to take that role, it would be a poor satire of Trump… because he is anything but “behind the scenes” and he is not even that good as a manipulator.
Note: There are a lot of “ifs” in all of that, because we still don’t know where King is actually going with the story or the character. That said, King can be pretty predictable.
This book is incredibly accurate on the racism/sexism mentality Of American magas ...
AND ENTIRELY not a wonder woman comic at the same time....
Maybe DC can give him a solo series about murica and leave Diana out of it
OFF topic Id like to know what you think of the new Thor series
I suspected this was going to happen from the very beginning.
Tom King told in a interview that the main issue with WW character it's that she's always was so perfect and now will undone this.This declaration just give us a good idea where King intend to take the character.
@@EvandroACruz that's true and you're right about that.
Comics and the wider genre is an industry Tom King needs to vacate. Moreover, everything he's done needs to be swept under the rug and forgotten.
I just don’t understand how he continues to get comics, and the most bizarre thing is that he has fans. Who are these people, how do they like such drivel?
One day Wonder Woman will get the new good story she deserves. At least I hope she does. As soon as I knew Tom was going to be writing it, I knew today was not that day.
Brian Azzarello is missed
@@theultimateartist4153 I think you misspelled George Perez. :)
I don't know why so many writers can't get her right.
@@LibraGamesUnlimited That stuff reads dated LOL Azzarello is the wonder woman GOAT
@@theultimateartist4153 If it wasn't for the ground work laid by Perez there wouldn't be anything for him to work with.
He brought WW into the modern age.
Can we do reviews of indie comics??? Please. ???? We know Marvel and DC suck.
17:39 The Cloonrad run of Wonder Woman was initially interesting because of Diana meeting Norse gods until she decided to return to Earth to live her life, deal with forgotten Golden and Silver Age adventures (i.e. Milk Company for Golden Age and Image Maker for Silver Age), Trial of the Amazons and Revenge of the Gods being a thing, and ending with Diana in a sleep coma in the 800th issue and her waking up to continue to be active as a superhero. Also, her meeting Yara Flor twice and barely interacting with her family.
If I remember correctly after the Amazons Attack storyline, Hippolyta's Amazons were told by Athena (Granny Goodness in disguise) that their punishment for attacking the United States was to go live in Man's World without any memories of Themyscira. Some Amazons probably left the island, married men and had children. Granny/ Athena probably used the Mother Box on them suppressing their memories. I wonder how many Amazons returned to the island when their memories came back. It is not reasonable to say they all did. I bet some probably stayed in the U.S. with their families. ]
I've really only read the Perez run all the way through but when he was in charge it didn't seem there were a lot of Amazons in total.
300 seems kind of high. :)
That actually sounds interesting was that a Tom King storyline? I think Amazonian, Antlantean, Thanagarian society/culture and their relation to humans doesnt get fleshed out enough.
@@LunaticReason From what I heard it wasn't a good as it sounds. I didn't read it though.
@@LunaticReason it is a storyline from 2007 by Will Pfeifer. With tie ins in Teen Titans, Catwoman and Supergirl. At the time, people hated the storyline. I thought it tried new things but some things fell flat.
Reading Tom King so we don't have to. Wonder Woman deserves a better class of writers.
This is why DC needs to stop hiring writers who write comic books as therapy sessions. Nobody wants to read stories related to their problems. 😑
Is anyone surprised that this history turn out to be dumb?
Wes, I agree with your critique of this comic book, and Tom King's writing, in general.
However, all of the complaints you levy against King's writing - his ignoring of canon, continuity, and characterization in lieu of telling whatever story he wants - could be applied to Hickman too.
These complaints could be applied to a number of writers TBH, but if they write a great story like House/Powers, most people won't care. Plus X-Men comics had just experienced the "lost decade," meaning that revitalization was necessary.
Hackman --umm, I mean Hickman is overrated as hell too.
WW looks horrendous on that cover
My biggest problem with TK's writing is that he just cannot write a linear story. Jumping around and quick cuts are not elements of quality storytelling, they are overused tropes that try to provide cover on poor storytelling.
Reading one of his comics is like listening to a 7 year old tell a story.
Most boring WW book EvEr, bad anatomy of Diana body, yet another misogynist villain The King of America, "Joker" level villain ... ffs DC so woke that they can't understand how to make interesting villain with INTERESTING story without playing a victim to patriarchy and RRRacismus.
And it felt like Frank The Punisher in body of Wonder Woman, 0% femininity and possible biological male.
Mike Deodato drew the hottest Wonder Woman in the 90's.
I never like Tom King.
Tom King is a conduit of cringe
Meh, Marvel has been doing this for years. Captain Britain got replaced by a woman. Moon Girl and Riri Williams are smartest characters in the Marvel Universe. Tearing down men is being done by both companies.
So right now, wthe question on whom has destroyed more different IP's by changing canon, Tom King or JJ Abrams ? 🤣
What pissess me off about Abrams is, from what I've heard, he does it to 'own' it. He insists that his version be the only one out there and then changes it all so he has some level of ownership of that version. It seems like both a dick move and the work of a massive narcissist at the same time.
Is it meant to be a reflection of his baggage, 911, homophobia, a recycled Jodie Foster movie? Wish DC had picked a different writer, nice art, lovely colouring, great Artgerm variant, a good writer would be nice too, someone that actually has a love and knowledge of Wonder Woman. By the time its over, this might take John Byrne's tiara for the worst writen WW run of the modern era.
Tom King trashing another legacy character.... just another nail in DC's coffin.
His editor must be lazy or something because I would have made him fill in the holes of his plot that bring up questions. Why are the Amazons living in the U.S.? Why are they wearing the same outfit as WW? They did this Amazon war thing twice already. Come up with something new for us old guys that have been collecting for forever. Why did they use Doom Patrol villain Immortus?
Thanks for paying and reading this book and freeing the rest of us from wasting dough in this current depression.
Time to give Wonder Woman a “blue stars” and make her a “Girl Scout” like Superman, like in her intro.
Looks more like General Immortus to me.
The league not being involved it ridiculous why wouldn’t Diana reach out to Batman ? Who would definitely be watching what’s happening, or Superman ? Who the people love and would absolutely help her out
No just the League but all super-hero community must stand in Wonder Woman side against this law.This not like Marvel where mutants are hunted down and the heroes not even know about this.
why should she go to batman what will he do and what will achieve by going at him other than bs because Batman is bs
@@Mi-Jung_Kim-tq2bl because it’s been established that batman keeps tabs on what super heroes and villains do. If an Amazon is accused of killing several men to the point where they are being kicked out of the US don’t you think he’d be involved ? Since Wonder Woman is a close friend of his. plus he’d have the resources to help Diana find the person responsible so a bunch of amazons didn’t need to pointlessly die ?
@@jgiudici6 Batman doesn't care
he is trash too busy playing with his psycho buddies
Trash King never fails, except he is a failure.
Is this "Sovereign" guy really a new villain at all? Because he sure looks like the Golden Age Duke of Deception, and a "lasso of lies" fits right in with that. He does say that Sovereign is "merely one of" his titles, but then there's the bit about his hereditary lineage, so I don't know. Tom does love reintroducing old villains. Maybe he plotted it as a Duke of Deception story and had to change it when other writers revived a different version of the character last year.
I do like the art but thats about it.
Well to be fair we killed a hundreds of thousand of Iraqis a people that did not attack us, sounds kinda immoral to me
Can anyone name me 10 good comic book Tom king ever wrote ?
Those people make Howard Mackie look like Neil Gaiman and Alan moore
@@therogueprince3790 That was the very time you read the new gods.
I recommend the john Byrne run or the running the late 80s with artwork by Paris cullins
He hasn't written very many runs. His Vision, Superman: Up in the Sky, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow and Mister Miracle are pretty well liked.
@@VaughnEsper And those books he wrote, how in demand are they ?
@@namelesswhocares8648 I'm not sure but they are brought up a lot in online conversations and reviews. I know Supergirl trades have had to be reprinted a lot with a hardcover coming next year.
Man, what have you got against Howard Mackie? I admit, the only think I know he wrote was the Danny Ketch Ghost Rider book from the 90s. I loved that title both in terms of story and art. Tom King makes me miserable when I read his books, so I don't read him anymore. Mackie was solid, but I don't know any other titles he's written.
Bring Marvel and DC into the public domain and reduce prices!
Outside of the Bree, Sarah, we got in the wonder woman 800 back up story. This is just gonna be set up for Amazons attack! Which is a terrible name, referencing an even worse storyline and I could go on a bloody tangent but I’ll be in this comment section all day Lol
So, we all have to suffer because Tom King probably waterboarded some poor Iraqi all while exposing him to Enter Sandman over and over again during the war. It all makes sense now.
Stories like this don't deserve to look as spectacular as the artists rendered this issue. I'm reminded of Alan Heinberg's run illustrated by Terry and Rachel Dodson--horrible story; amazing artwork.
16:29- "Just go to the therapist, and stop writing comic books."
Excellent advise for Mr. Tom King.
Tom King is the Rian Johnson of DC.
Damn 😂😂😂😂
Tom King has no redeeming factors anymore. He went from meh to lousy to terrible.
the soverign actually looks a lot like the immortal commander from the doom patrol. also tom king just right comics outside of continuity please
Ya Boi Zack needs to review this one
He probably will.
Real talk. Will we ever get the Big 2 back writing SUPERHERO stories for fans of SUPERHERO comics?
Wonder Woman: Wrath of Mongul #1: Premise
Synopsis: While Diana visits Paradise Island once more. Hermes the messenger God gives her a parchment from Zeus telling her to find the lost power of Ares and bring it back to Olympus. Little does she know that the son of Amelia (One of the Amazons) has stolen it and gave it to Mongul II (Jr). While she was searching for Ares and where his power would be contained. She was abducted by Warworld and forced to fight to the death in a tournament setup by Mongul’s son: Mongul II. As the Amazonian princess looks around, she sees two things. The first is that Ares contained his power inside of one of his helmets. One of which Mongul is currently sporting. And the second is the blonde haired giant son of Amelia. A giant named Lanius, who seeks to prove his might to the Olympians and to honor his late father and his imprisoned species.
The big problem with writers like this who pander to the woke narrative of 'all men bad' is that those messages, drip by tainted drip, erode into the minds of people who can't rationalize that this is fantasy and not reality. The message of men being hateful and inherently bad is so overused that young boys are in crisis believing that they are bad people just because of the gender they were born into. Girls have essentially taken over all franchises with Star Wars being about Ahsoka and Sabine and Rey now and Star Trek being about every force-fed female character that Kurtzman can shoehorn in. Marvel is a girls club. Lord of the Rings is now the Galadriel show. It's hard for young boys to find role models in this landscape and when they do try to join in the current crop of books or movies they are treated like trash or worse. Wonder Woman used to be a great role model for everyone. Every hero and heroine had something special that people wanted to emulate and, by default, make them better people. I'm tired of these angry writers who make everything dark and sour. The world deserves better.
I will say one thing about the supposedly new villains that Tom King is putting on his that he looks like somebody that belongs from the video game Assassin's Creed: Revolution, reason is that I just really can't stand seeing the side of this guy.
Seriously he is trying to look like the evil version of George Washington if you look like the vulture from Spider-Man the Animated Series.
It can't be worse than the last several years of wonder woman and secondary characters
How is a normal human supposed to hurt Wonder Woman? That would make no sense. She can duke it out with Superman.
They had special bullets
The Amazons were depicted as isolationists. Weird having them live in the USA. What’s the reason? No answers. It’s a very jarring start but I’ll give it a five issue shot.
I'm not offended by Tom King's fanfictions anymore. Just put it in the same trash than the other garbage.
I don't know if it's a good or bad thing that Wonder Woman isn't in the comic. It's good that he can't ruin her and make her wish kids die or something. But I always say WW isn't a hero she's a warrior. Sitting on the side lines is the last thing she does and the reason why I love her. She doesn't worry about stuff like not killing badguys, the laws or rules like most heroes she just does what she thinks is right. So it's still ruining her in a way. Tom King really can't help himself can he? The art is great tho, I always loved this artist from the first time I read Injustice
She wasn't on the sidelines. She was doing things throughout the comic but it was only mentioned in the narration. However, she was only shown in person near the end.
You are wrong. In Pre-Crisis Era Diana were very against kill and tried your best to avoid killing the bad guys.She even had issues with the police or the army because your willingness to use lethal force against your enemies.The modern warrior take it's just a misconception of your character and nothing more.
That seems to be a thing in comics. I've been reading a lot lately both old and new issues and realize that the star of the book isn't even in the comics about them half the time. I read a Black Panther comic last night that didn't have Black Panther in it anywhere. AT ALL. Not even an appearance at the end like WW in this issue (which I just read) It seems to be an odd thing. Some of the Detective comics I've read don't have Batman anywhere in them, stuff like that.
Pretty much everything wrong with current-year comics in one book. It's a master class in modern comic book writing. Would have been better as an Elseworld or something.
I know I haven't been a regular reader in awhile but there should never be 300 Amazons living off their island no matter where they're living.
It honestly reminds me of a much worse version of Wonder Woman Earth One.
@@ChrisSuperDude I found Wonder Woman Earth One bad enough. It doesn't even have a plot, it's just a bad retelling of her origin. Painful.
It amazing that King can't help ruin he function of every superhero he writes, even female superheroes like Wonder Woman. This guy must hate the idea of being a hero so badly.
I genuinely believe he doesn’t like heroes.
The Amazons, trained warriors with super strenght, super skills and magical weapons are EASILY killed by the U.S. government. Oh, c'mon, Tom King. That's shameful...
Wonder Woman has sucked for decades, but Tom King is a soy-based mangina.
This is probably part of Tom King’s therapy.
Nobody likes The Joker because of the grand ideas of Good vs Evil and Order vs Anarchy. Nobody does impressions of Heath Ledger's Joker because they care about the battle for Gotham's heart.
It's all about his presence and charisma. Every well written version of The Joker steals the spotlight and gives us one hell of a party every time he is on the screen or page. There is a chilling and terrifying, yet exciting and exhilarating sensation when Joker is allowed to be himself.
Now tell me, taking a look at this little Sovereign guy, do you really see him doing anything other than spouting the most cliche dark lord lines and getting his ass handed to him by Wonder Woman? Does a bald old man look like the face of unbound charisma and captivating presence to you?
Tom King is sick
yes a very ill man.
Tom King is the BIGGEST reason I stopped buying DC Rebirth Comics.
DC needs to go back to Flashpoint.
ERASE everything after Flashpoint and start over.
But first FIRE EVERY EDITOR and WRITER working there now!
Then depending on the NEW editors & writers I'll start paying for DC Comics again.
Yes and Dark Knights Metal too.Both them ruined Rebirth.
I knew the name Steele from somewhere, he is a Charlton comics character that has fallen into the public domain.
I was going to buy this one, but I think Tom King is going to write wonder woman as a feminist commando
So it sounds like King is telling this story in non linear style. I think this would’ve been a better story if Diana was torn between her adopted home and Themysicra.
Where does somebody get the information on how which new books are selling? The official sales numbers?
Oh no, it's _Amazons Attack_ again!
In order to get rid of Tom King and other hacks like him...don't buy the books.
Poor Wonder Woman . She can’t catch a break, can she?
I really liked sheriff of Baghdad, thought that was great. Not liked much of his since, and actively disliked him after what he did to jai Lee. He was in the business 5 mins and disrespected a great long time talent. I lost all respect for him from then on.
Which other “Joker level villains” have worked that they’ve tried? They need to stop and be original and really…the lasso of lies??? 😫😫😫😫🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
These people don't know how to write a villian as much as they don't know how to write about a hero. Just political issues, political issues, political issues, political issues --- like a stuck vinyl record.
When I saw his name on the solicits for this. I groaned. Like,WHY!? He ruined Batman's solo title for chrissakes! Cmon DC!
I get “Dis stink” impression from this comic.
