2023 reading list: Wonder Woman by Greg Rucka - Vol. 1 (1987 run; issues #195-205)
You do not change the world by the stroke of a pen or the sweep of a sword. You change the world heart by heart, mind by mind.
(ID under the cut)
ID: Four animated panels from Wonder Woman comics.
1: A television set depicts Wally West, dressed as the Flash, and Diana of Themyscira in her Wonder Woman costume. They stand in the middle of a forest fire. Wally starts to run, then comes back to talk to Diana, before finally leaving her behind. Scrolling text above the television reads: "...JLA No Comment..." Scrolling text below the television reads: "News From Colorado..."
2: Diana stands at a podium in a bookstore in front of a crowd. A poster for her book, "Reflections," featuring art of her lasso, is hung on the wall. Someone asks: "Do you, ah, do you have a boyfriend?" Diana responds, "I don't, no, not at the present. I'm not really looking right now." A few hands shoot up. Diana adds, "I should add that I don't have a girlfriend either." A few more hands go up. She says, "Does anyone have any questions about the book?" All the hands go down.
3: Diana stands in the rain as protestors call out to her. At first, it's bigoted statements about immigrants and her liberal lifestyle, but it quickly devolves into panic after someone in the crowd is shot.
4: Diana stands, silhouetted in gold, in front of a tableau of newspapers and magazines with her on the cover. Her silhouette hides her face, but she's smiling in all the photographs. The magazines start in black and white, but light up in colors one at a time.
