The
Wonder Woman faces her greatest challenge as goes toe-to-toe against Clayface.
He would have her as he sees her, a hero to the American people. But heroism
isn’t just great deeds, or the courage against overwhelming odds. It’s the
compassion of mercy and forgiveness – something Clayface is sorely lacking.
But Diana is
not in this battle alone, as the women who follow her – Donna Troy, Cassie
Sandsmark and others – take up the battle against Clayface and his twisted
ideologies. Readers will have to wait to see if their combined powers will be
enough to finally put Clayface in the ground.
I was a
little concerned during one particular sequence in this issue, as it seemed
that Wonder Woman was literally about to “stop a war with love.” But the
villains of the DC Universe are not nearly so gullible as that. If nothing
else, they are on a committed path of evil, and less susceptible to the will of
the heroes. That’s why they’re villains.
This issue
is drawn by two separate artists. Siya Oum handles the first portion of the
book, later replaced by Luciano Vecchio. Oum’s work is more painterly and
traditionally illustrative, while Vecchio’s work reminds me of animé. There is
a place for that, but I am uncertain if Bombshells
United is it.
