“Finally, we come to the end of this unsatisfying “Odyssey” arc for “Wonder Woman.” It’s hard not to breathe a sigh of relief and look with hope toward Cliff Chiang and Brian Azzarello’s take on Diana next month.

This issue of “Wonder Woman” feels like it was tacked on to get the “Odyssey” arc to match up with the September re-launch and, as a result, it reads like an anti-climactic re-hash of issue #613, with some saccharine pages at the end. Diana, having “reabsorbed” the rest of herself (don’t ask) in “Wonder Woman” #613, now fights Nemesis and defeats her. But since Diana kills Nemesis with Nemesis’ own sword, the sword binds to Diana and tries to make her the “new” Nemesis…”

A tie this week between this fantastic classically heroic Justice Society of America #54 cover by Darwyn Cooke

And this lovely Dustin Nguyen Gates of Gotham #5 variant, which nicely features my girl Cass Cain as Blackbat.

“I’ve never understood the idea of a “house style” for a comic book company, because there’s nothing more refreshing as a comic reader than opening up a brilliantly drawn book that looks new and exciting instead of like the same thing you’ve seen a million times before. Such is the case with David Lafuente’s take on the New Mutants in this book..”

“It can be hard with event books to toe dip in to just part of an event without feeling entirely lost, but “Spider Island: Spider-Girl” works well on its own while still tying nicely into the larger picture of the Spider Island Event…”

This is not only a beautiful panel by CrissCroos, but also a wonderful sentiment by Kelly Sue DeConnick for a character that’s being relaunched from this week’s Supergirl #67, the last issue before the relaunch.

I’d love to see Kelly DeConnick get another shot at Supergirl sometime in the future, she did a great job on this arc, and managed to both tie up her arc, and the book as a series really beautifully despite the restrictions.

Great cover art by Rodin Esquejo for Generation Hope #10.  Beautiful and emotional.

“Jason Aaron’s enthusiasm and Daniel Acuña’s discipline make this book a solid read, and a surprisingly strong entry in a mini-series event book that until now I wasn’t entirely sure I cared about. As a reader, I don’t love seeing Cyclops and Wolverine coming to blows, physically or ideologically. I prefer them as grouchy begrudging best friends that have seen and done it all, mostly side by side. I may be alone in that as a reader, but regardless of my personal preference, I don’t yet buy the split we’ve all been told we’re headed for. But that doesn’t make this a bad comic. In all the ways that count, this is actually a really good comic…”

“Fallout from Mike Carey’s Age of X event continues to be the primary conflict both physically and emotionally in “X-Men Legacy” as the team fights the two remaining Legion personalities still loose and causing havoc, Styx and Endgame. It’s a nice change of pace considering that too frequently when an “event” ends, we’re given a quick exit and little to no ramifications post “event.” Sometimes, of course, that’s a welcome respite from an event we didn’t like or were tired of in the first place. In the case of Age of X, though, some very interesting threads were left hanging and now Carey is doing an admirable job of dealing with them…”
