Better, but Still Not Good
Big Spoilers, not that there's a lot to spoil;
This issue actually started off OK, (especially considering the last two woeful instalments). Basically just a generic intro to Wonder Woman that fills in all the "she's badass" cliches of military men explaining what she's done. We also see that her handler, Steve Trevor, doesn't like her that much and the feeling is mutual. Nothing interesting, but nothing grossly offensive either.
Cyborg is now made partially of Apokoliptian tech too, for some reason. Again, not that bad.
Then we get to the main part of the issue. ANOTHER joke is made about Batman having no powers (that's about the seventh in three issues) as a bunch of Parademons start teleporting into Metropolis. Wonder Woman is there too, for some reason, we're never told why, and she eventually meets Batman, Superman, GL and the Flash who are also fighting the Parademons.
Then Superman kills a few.
Superman. Kills.
People are arguing that they're just Parademons so it's OK, but the truth is, Superman didn't know that. All he knows is that an army is attacking. An army of possibly drafted alien men who had no choice but to attack Earth. He mercilessly kills them anyway. The only defence that Johns can give Superman is that "they look evil, so it's OK to kill them", NOTHING like how Superman should act, well you know, unless he lives in Hitler's Germany.
Then Wonder Woman inexplicably appears alongside the others who have inexplicably moved from the middle of Metropolis to the harbour. There's more fighting and Superman says to Wonder Woman "you're strong". She says "I know" and they eye-f*ck.
Also, the first thing said when Wonder Woman appears in front of the "heroes"?
"Dibs" by Green Lantern. He sees this powerful, violent woman destroying Parademons and his first response is "Dibs". The DC Reboot's philosophy of having all women either on their back or as objects is working out so well so far. (SARCASM)
Anyway, back to Superman. It's important to keep in mind this is the Superman who attacked GL, Batman and the Flash based on the assumption they were his enemy, but a warrior woman brandishing a sword is OK. What's the only defence to this; Superman likes to punch people unless they're hot women, then he'll try and flirt with them.
Finally a big fish-thing rises from the water and we see Aquaman who says to the "heroes";
"Who's in charge? I vote me."
Aquaman doesn't know that these guys aren't allied with the Parademons, as he's literally just risen from the water. He doesn't know that they're not just enemies of the state in general. He has no idea what any of them can do, but his primary concern is who's in charge. Not if people are safe, or if anyone needs help, but if he's in charge.
Terrible. Just terrible.
These characters feel like they've been written by a 15 year old who thinks that "modern" stories need the protagonists to be a**holes. No one in this comic is likeable, and it's a damn shame.
And one final message to the fans of this "work";
Bring it on.
Addendum;
I originally gave this issue a 1/5, but after reconsidering my view on it (due in large part to Mighty Monarch's retort), I've upped it to 2/5. I still think there are a lot of errors, and that we should be expecting more, but I was too harsh in my initial observations.
