Wonder Woman fan or not, the art in this book needs to be seen

Seriously

I think there's also a story in there too!

Wonder Woman Historia: The Amazons #1 penciling and inking by Phil Jimenez & colouring done by HI-FI Design studio

With a new fantastic artist in each book, #2 is taken over by penciler/inker Gene Ha & colourist Wesley Wong

and I do not feel like they disappoint

I'm sure there is a story in here

The final Issue #3, perhaps unsurprisingly, ALSO has terrific art by penciler/inker Nicola Scott and colourist Annette Kwok

But seriously there is a great story about Hippolyta and the origins of the Amazons in here.

also Apollo looks like this

@mikeellee @rei-ismyname

"The saving grace of Kurt’s swashbuckling is that it often includes a layer of irony and even a few tentative critiques of the toxic masculinity that informs certain heroic fantasies. In his ’85 miniseries, Cockrum has the princess offer herself to Kurt as a prize then flips the power dynamic; Kitty Pryde and Illyana Rasputin accidentally teleport away Kurt’s costume, leaving him naked and stammering before the princess’ lusty gaze. Cockrum also pokes fun at Kurt’s presumptions of chivalric heroism by introducing an anarchic, horny army of chibi Kurts, called Bamfs, who cause him plenty of trouble and embarrassment. And the female Bamfs turn the tables once again, making Kurt a victim of their aggressive flirtation, much to his chagrin. Other stories more directly interrogate Kurt’s fantasies. In Uncanny X-Men #204 (1987), reenacting the ’85 miniseries is presented as a desperate plot to avoid reckoning with difficult truths. A decidedly modern princess even accuses Kurt of being no different from the villainous Arcade: “Listen to yourself, Nightcrawler — you’re just like him! Hooked on excitement! … Is that all you are?!” And as much as Excalibur #16 indulges swashbuckling fantasies, it also forces Kurt to confront problematic preconceptions rooted in the conventions of the genre. By falsely assuming the beautiful blonde princess is a good guy while the blue pirates are bad guys, Kurt nearly gets himself and his teammates killed. There’s also an implied ironic distance in the simple fact that as much as Nightcrawler might want to be in like Flynn, he can’t. He’ll always be blue and furry with a tail and pointed ears and the wrong number of fingers and toes. In other words, he’s always obviously performing the part, and his performance is always partly inadequate. Classic X-Men #23 acknowledges this. When Kurt dons the colonial costume, it literally doesn’t fit. He has to cut the toes off the boots to accommodate his mutant feet, his difference bursting out of his generic costume. Kurt’s desire to be a leading man within a world that consistently tells him he can’t is also intensely identifiable, as well as strangely hopeful. Because most of the time, Kurt performs the part successfully enough to save the day. This speaks to the transformative power of escapism, which is literally Kurt’s superpower, after all; teleporting is a form of magical relocation which is a form of transformation. Sometimes, playing a role is as good as living a role, since a role is just that — a role, a part in a play that often gets cast a certain way but doesn’t have to. Escaping into different perspectives can help us see ourselves better, just like playing with roles can be a way of reshaping them to fit us better."

"Nightcrawler’s fondness for a nostalgic genre that was already out of fashion when the character debuted in 1975 also places him at odds with where superheroes and action genres in general were heading. Writing in 1977, Jeffrey Richards was already mourning the death of the swashbuckler: “The ringing speech, the romantic gesture, the balletic grace, the virtues which the swashbuckling hero incarnated … are alien to today’s style, which is tough, cynical, laconic, individualistic — in a word, ‘cool.’” In response to a 2021 Claremont Run thread about Nightcrawler, noted comics artist/writer Phil Jimenez strikes a similar tone, lamenting contemporary attempts to make Kurt a less joyful character: “It also makes me think about the drive by some to stamp out whimsy and flamboyance in super-hero comics, driven mostly by heterosexist fears, despite whimsy and flamboyance being baked into their DNA.” Coolness can be critical; it can also be cool for the sake of cool. And joy and flamboyance can offer their own kinds of critique and rebellion, especially in contexts that might be trying to stamp them out for the wrong reasons.

I never yearn for simpler times, which only ever seemed simple to certain people. But I often have occasion to feel nostalgic for heroes who like being heroes. Being a hero should be hard. But it doesn’t have to be joyless or prudish, and with the best versions of Nightcrawler, it isn’t. Dave Cockrum definitely understood that, which is why his birthday is Kurt’s."

"Like real-life people, Kurt Wagner is sometimes insecure; he sometimes doubts himself and struggles to decide what he wants; he sometimes makes bad choices and feels guilty and angry. Yet in the vast majority of his comic book stories, he has some core beliefs. This includes the belief his unique body, like every unique body, is special—even divine—and so is the pleasure that flows from and into that body. This version of Kurt Wagner passionately embraces sexual freedom and diversity for the same reason—because he knows, as well as any mutant out there, that all desires, and all bodies, deserve all kinds of love."

Green Lantern-Related Titles Round-Up (September 1994)

This month: Zero Hour! ZERO HOUR! ZERO HOUR!

Guy Gardner: Warrior #24

This issue is wild, man. As seen in Zero Hour, Guy Gardner (who suddenly has the ability to grow handguns out of his arms) has decided that the current crisis afflicting the DC Universe is the perfect opportunity to go back in time and undo the destruction of Coast City, thus preventing his frenemy Hal Jordan from going insane and turning into a full-on enemy. We start with Guy having already assembled an unlikely team for that mission: Supergirl, Steel, and an alternate-timeline Batgirl who still has her spine intact. I'm pretty sure the rationale behind these selections is "the writer of this comic likes 'em" (I know Beau Smith is a big Supergirl guy especially).

(Note that Guy and Steel are supposed to be old college buddies, but that isn't acknowledged in this issue beyond Guy saying "reminds me of..." when Steel makes a football-related comment.)

Anyway, Guy and pals are at that monument the superheroes built in what used to be Coast City, when a time vortex opens and sends them to the past, just as Guy wanted. Unfortunately, the vortex overshoots it a bit and they all end up in dinosaur times. There, they run into... well, dinosaurs, but also Extant, the guy who is totally the main villain behind Zero Hour and not just a decoy one.

By the way, here are all the names Guy calls Extant in this issue: Ex-Lax, Timex, Extinct, Ex-Man (don't wanna speculate about what Guy, a macho dude in the '90s, might have meant by that last one).

Extant makes the heroes go through a bunch of different time periods -- and art styles, since this issue has five different artists. First up is the old west (drawn by Phil Jimenez), where the Guy Gang teams up with an assortment of DC western characters to take on Extant and his posse of mind-controlled gunslingers. Two notable events here are: 1) Guy turning his arms into the "Toastmaster" guns that Steel designed, and 2) Supergirl shapeshifting into Extant to try to trick him into thinking she's his future self, but it doesn't really work out and we get this panel:

Next, Extant briefly sends them to the far future (drawn by future superstar Howard Porter), leading to cameos by the Space Ranger and a time-displaced Lady Blackhawk, who joins the Guy Gang. The time rollercoaster then sends them to Coast City's relatively recent past (fittingly drawn by Mike Parobeck), where Guy not only sees Hal Jordan in his prime but also... himself, looking like a well-adjusted adult and hanging out with his precognitive ex-girlfriend Kari Limbo.

Being close to his own past self causes Guy to freak out and lose control of his still-undefined new powers. Hal assumes that this shapeshifting weirdo must be a supervillain who wants to "destroy Coast City" and tries to take him down with one punch™.

(I like how Hal's whole vibe in these retroactive appearances is "if anyone ever tries to destroy Coast City I'm gonna LOSE MY SHIT.")

Another time vortex opens, this time sending Guy alone to the day Coast City was destroyed in a Superman comic (drawn by Jackson Guice, the artist in another Superman comic, but close enough). Guy once again bumps into Kari, who finally realizes that he was the shapeshifting weirdo who ruined their date that day years ago. Extant appears and makes Guy watch as the city explodes, killing Kari and millions of others. Then everything fades to white and...

...you guessed it, TO BE CONTINUED IN ZERO HOUR!

Darkstars #24

New Darkstar Donna Troy has been sent on a mission to arrest cosmic murderer Hal Jordan before he does anything else crazy, like trying to restart the universe or something. Donna and her new teammates follow a huge Green Lantern-related energy signature and find not Hal, but a time-displaced Entropy/Krona, the ancient Guardian who accidentally created the DC Multiverse and went crazy. What is it about GL characters and poor mental health?

Oh yeah, that GL up there is Abin Sur, Hal's long-dead predecessor, who pops up in the middle of the fight due to the ongoing time wackiness. Donna considers telling Abin that he shouldn't give his ring to any dudes named Hal because they'll eventually kill the GL Corps, but then she's like "wait, no, that's dumb" upon realizing that trying to change history would be wildly irresponsible, not to mention dangerous (see: the GG:W issue up there).

Once the time-lost characters have been sucked into a black hole and returned to their respective times, a Superman hologram appears in front of everyone and asks them to come over to the Zero Hour series and help out with the time crisis (but only Donna ends up going). Meanwhile, John Stewart makes his debut as a Darkstar...

...and makes sure to mention right away that he's no longer a GL or a Guardian, just in case anyone was worried about his sanity. John tells Darkstar Colos that his sham trial last issue was indeed a sham trial and the guy running the Darkstars is corrupt, so they should probably do something about that. Unfortunately, they don't have time for that, since everything fades to white at the end of the issue (again).

So, for Donna anyway, this will be CONTINUED IN ZERO HOUR!

Justice League America #92, Justice League Task Force #16, and Justice League International #68

Young Hal also appears in the "Return of the Hero" storyline, which introduces the Justice League's forgotten founder, Triumph. The first part reveals that Triumph was actually the one who first brought Hal, Barry "Flash" Allen, Black Canary, Aquaman, and Martian Manhunter (plus guest star Superman) together as a team to fight an alien invasion, though he was kind of a dick about it.

That first adventure ended with Triumph using his magnetic powers to stop the aliens, which somehow "trapped him out of phase with the timestream" and caused everyone to forget him. Now, thanks to Zero Hour, he's back and wants to lead the current Justice League against the also-returned aliens, but they're like "nah."

After a lot of drama and in-fighting, the JL does agree to join Triumph against the aliens. In the end, it turns out that the aliens only wanted to talk but didn't know how, so they expressed themselves via superhero fight scenes. One of the ways in which they try to communicate with Triumph in the last chapter is by turning into Hal:

Yep, that's Phil Jimenez again; dude was pretty busy this month.

Anyway, once Triumph learns to work on his interpersonal skills and gets through to the aliens, they instantly go away and the day is saved. The League welcomes Triumph (back) into the team, and then... everything fades to white. NOT TO BE CONTINUED IN ZERO HOUR, BECAUSE EVERYONE HAS CEASED TO EXIST!

(Note: Some GL-related Elseworld annuals also came out this month, but they'll go in another post since this one was getting too long. Get ready for Nazi Hal vs. Nazi Guy!)

Wonder Woman Historia: The Amazons by Kelly Sue DeConnnick (writer), Phil Jimenez, Gene Ha, and Nicola Scott (artists) and others. DC Comics, 2023. 9781779521354. Contains #1 - #3.

The story of the Amazon starts with seven goddesses who gather in Olympus because they've seen enough of the subjugation and abuses of men, and of their crimes against women. Six of them take action together despite Zeus's idea of justice; each gives something of themselves to the original Amazons. The warriors they create are more than mortal., and they are doomed.

The story of Hippolyta, a mortal who will eventually become queen of the Amazons, begins with her abandoning an unwanted baby girl in the woods. When she tries to return to save her, she's discovered by four men who do not intend to help her. The Amazons save her, and she longs to join them. Hippolyta sets off in pursuit of them and a different life.

The art in the book is spectacular, both realistic and otherworldly. My favorite thing is the pacing, though -- the way the art, layouts, and lettering moved the story forward perfectly, panel to panel and page to page. The graphic novel's oversized format makes it all more enjoyable.

[violent138]

top five favorite artists?

As this was unspecific a tad, I'm gonna go with top five DC comics book artists (an evolving ever changing list).

Top five in no particular order:

Dave Gibbons, Jim Lee, Tim Sale, George Perez, Phil Jimenez

Rest of the top five:

Mariko Tamaki, Jorge Jiménez, Nicola Scott Jamal Campbell, Barbara Ciardo.

As always this is an eternally changing list and very few people stay on a long time without being swapped out (except for Gibbons and Sale, I'm quite attached to their work).

Drop you guys' faves?
