ABSOLUTE WONDER WOMAN #4

Writer: Kelly Thompson
Artist: Hayden Sherman

Synopsis:
DIANA MAKES THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE! The Tetracide is "The Four Killer"... and Diana has done the unthinkable to escape its fatal grasp. The move may have saved her to fight another day, but the price Diana paid is more than she can stand to lose for the fight that's coming. She will need the help of her allies both old and new to recover what she has lost — and save Gateway City!

On @James Harvey's recommendation and running out of shows to watch, I dove into Absolute Wonder Woman. Thompson and Sherman are killing it. I couldn't stop and had to read all 12 issues in one sitting. Who knew changing Diana's origin just a little to her being taken away from the Amazons and raised by Circe in Hell made her even cooler of a character? The ongoing storyline is compelling - what game these gods and goddesses are at, the search for the Amazons, Area 41 - all of it. I think this could be easily adapted into a WW animated series.
 
The start of a new storyline for the hit Wonder Woman series!

ABSOLUTE WONDER WOMAN #13

Writer: Kelly Thompson
Artist: Matías Bergara

Synopsis:
"The Price", Part 1. As Diana learns more of the myth of the Amazons from Barbara in Gateway City, a series of violent supernatural events begins occurring one after another, drawing Diana all over the globe to fight. Noticing a pattern, Diana enlists Etta to help her crack the mystery of why these events are happening in these places and how to stop them. The answer? Too personal to imagine.

10/22: #13: The twist reminded of the nephele but lightning instead of a cloud like in Greek myth but the final reveal made it seem more like an eidolon. Basically a doppelganger to maintain magical equilibrium?

11/27: #14: That old chest nut of using wordplay to get a god to save you without angering them and getting vaporized. But hmm, an imbalance towards evil in this universe. Also, love all these stunning designs the gods get in this comic.

Zatanna made a move already and now Diana is now bound to her. Or just her voice? The latter, then that would definitely be used against her in future battles so it'll take something really clever to defeat her.

Great work by Matías Bergara, standing in for Hayden Sherman.

Crossover with Batman. Interesting...

12/24: #15: I was happy they instantly clicked and were friends. "Define magic." :D That was so cute Diana had a bet with Circe if Batman was a god or not.

Intriguing Grimm/Joker and Cale are colluding. And both have knowledge of the occult. Great twist Diana's Diana’s clay origin was actually used as a weapon against her.

Lotta talk about Superman. And that last panel in the shape of his logo.

Veronica Cale being in charge of the Suicide Squad with Starro was an interesting reveal/choice. What a line up: Zatanna, Dr. Poison, Giganta, Cheetah, and Nina Mazutsky! I thought Villainy Inc. at first but Starro instead of nanite bombs, so Suicide Squad. Guess Cheetah must be Priscilla, Deborah, or a brand new Cheetah created for the comic. Also, Cale wanting to "reveal what Wonder Woman" really is had to be a nod to Lex in Superman 2025.

Sacrifice is a recurring theme here but Steve giving up his military career for her was one of the best moments in this comic. But lol with the senator looking like the KFC Colonel.

Sherman continues to kill it. Art is so amazing down to the smallest detail of Diana's's clutch purse having her two Ws as the clasp.

2/25: #17

Clever. Zatanna wasn't really a villain and used Diana to get rid of her Starro then bailed.

Well, Dr. Poison pwned within seconds.

Yeah. Barbara just keep standing there.

Oh, right, that was Queen Ara of the Men-Fish.

Loved the fight with Giganta. Really cool to see how different this fight is in the Absolute universe. Diana uses magic to keep matching Giganta's size. "She's really fixated on this bread analogy." :D

Yup, this Cheetah was Priscilla Rich. Was.

I'm guessing that's Giovanni Zatara since Zatanna's spell included "Giovanni Zatara of the Eternal Flame" and he's only fighting Diana because he doesn't know Zatanna has escaped. But how many times has Diana lost that arm?

I wonder if by touching that knife, would Barbara become the next Cheetah?

3/25: #18

Ok, Zatanna kind of redeems herself and saves Diana from Giovanni's fire spell. Hmm, cursed Cale's hands.

lol, went right for Zee's neck. Ha ha, love it, Diana defeated the witch by drowning her - Zatanna can't speak her spells or sign. Funny symmetry.

Nice of Diana to liberate Ara.

Round two.

4/22: #19

Love a prison. Huhn. So no one will truly love Diana? Feels like a cop out but we'll see how that plays out.

Ah, Zatara on the other hand was bound by his guilt and I'm guessing Cale, at the very least, took advantage of it. Zatanna makes her move. But oops, that trapped Diana's mind at the crossroads realm...

Interesting to see Steve take the woman's place in the coven circle.

Uh oh, Cale wants Minerva.

lol, Zatara sent Giganta back into her cell. :D

Zee saying they gotta stop meeting like this. heh.

Iron Maiden looks tough. How will she fare against a robot. Even then there will be consequences from Troika to deal with, too.

5/27: #20

Wow, couldn't beat the robot. And now stuck in underworld for month. Didn't think this arc would end with an L for Diana. And that leaves Cale to manipulate and twist Barbara into becoming the next Cheetah. And Cale has a sample of Diana's blood.

6/24: #21

Ha ha, amusing defense for the Hieron. Julia!

Urzkartaga correcting the lore, lmao. Wasn't crazy about "plant god." :D

Fighting some big name monsters.

So it was Hecate's doing. Would be crushing if Circe can't be saved...

Going offline until further notice. David Ellison has won. I’m seeking therapy permanently rather than quitting life. Take care everyone. Once I leave the world into the void, I hope my life is better.
Is that Joan Cusack voicing Jessie in that Toy Story Papa John's commercial? If so, it sounds rough. Woundn't surprise me if it wasn't, though.
