The
Wonder Woman is gone, and in her place stand the Wonder Girls. They channel the
will and the strength of their hero to defeat Clayface, by conveying the mercy
and passion for what is right. But it only works when the writer decides it
will work. I can’t help but feel their strategy would have normally been
ineffective, and the results not nearly so… magical.
Because
magic is what it is, as the second portion of the story dovetails into the next
story arc. As if by some wave of a wand, people are made to realize the error
of their ways ands the folly of their path. It stretches the boundaries of
credibility, even for a comic book.
While the
Bombshells may be united, we have seen very little of them over the past four
issues. Yes, there has been Donna Troy and Cassie Sandsmark, but what of the
other DCU analogs – Harley, Hawkgirl, Supergirl, et al. for a book that claims
to be “united,” its cast is somewhat narrow.
The current
storyline appears to be over, but as I said, it dovetails into the next chapter
as a new threat looms over Los Angeles. The war that gave rise to the
Bombshells appears to be over. This being an alternate universe, it was
apparently won in short order, thanks to the heroic actions of the Bombshells.
But it’s still the 1940s, and the style of that era continues to resonate
within the title.
