Its the REMIX
This may just be the best of the big three's anniversary books. Batman's was great, Grant Morrison moving his story a long. Superman's was hit or miss with the three different creative crews and no pin-ups. The Wonder Woman #600 was really saving the best for last.
George Perez COVER!!!! Lynda Carter speech. 5 creative crews. 5 stories. Pin-ups. And the Definition of a RE-Mix Jim Lee and JMS style.
The Breakdown:
Valedictorian
Gail Simone gets the leave the book with George Perez. This is nice. Her run was hit or miss. After Rucka's run all the Wonder Woman runs have been hit or miss, so its not her fault. Also Perez is back for a few pages :D I like the idea behind this issue. Gail shows us how smart she is by explaining the meaning of Valedictorian. This is very appropriate because its her Valedictorian speech as the writer of Wonder Woman and the new class is about to start.
3.5/5 Stars
Fuzzy Logic
Amanda Conner is not just a comic artist. She shows she can write a funny story too. Pulling double duties on this story it is one that any Conner Fan would enjoy and its nice to see this comedic side of Wonder Woman
4/5 Stars
Firepower
Louise Simonson and Eduardo Pansica take on Wonder Woman is more of a classic story. How she interacts with Superman and why is as imporant to the DCU as he is.
3.5 Stars
The Sensational Wonder Woman
This is a quick history lesson of Wonder Woman. Written by Geoff John's, but is maybe the most forgettable story of the lot. It is short and Sweet, but it could of been written by any writer. The art by Scott Kolins maybe my favorite part. This story also is nicely placed as we see the old suit Wonder Woman one last time.
3/5 Stars
Odyssey, Prologue: Couture Shock
This is what we were all waiting for the JMS prologue. This is bold and exciting. A great jump on spot for anyone who has never read a Wonder Woman Comic before. JMS is defining the Remix in his run. Redeveloping Diana for the modern day. New costume and new direction. Fresh start to bring Wonder Woman as the iconic improving Woman she was.
5/5 Stars
Pin-ups:
Oh my not a single in-up I won't hang in a men's washroom. The only problem was the Phil Jimenez pin-up not being in the middle with ads on the opposite side, so it can be pulled out and hung like how the posters where when I was younger.
5/5 Stars
The Jim Lee and JMS Mission Statement:
I have to admit, this issue was a great read and I feel Wonder Woman is in good hands. From the reasons for the new custom change to the direction JMS is planning on taking the Amazon Princess, I have gotten excited over this series again.
4/5 Stars
