Wondy #30
Three pages of interest from this week's ish.
First, we have the return of the Amazons to the island.
Keep an eye out for that bird, it's freaking everywhere in this storyline.
... okay. Akila is not a blonde white chick. Akila looks like this:
Notice how tremendously not-blonde and not-white she is, and the ways in which she in no way resembles the woman speaking to Hippolyta. That is some hardcore headdesk-inducing fail, there. Look, I think her eyes are even blue. Jesus Christ, NOT COOL, guys.
On the other hand. AKILA! Holy shit, you guys, that is so fucking fantastic. She's not dead! She's an acknowledged cast member! Her awesome potential can be explored!
Then, we have Cheetah's plan, as explained by Morrow after Diana smashes the crap out of half the Society.
That's... not a plan, that's a summary of events. And not very Minerva, either, or at least not the interesting version of her, so I will continue to assume she's playing a longer, more self-serving and less mustache-twirling game that we (and Morrow) still don't know about until I am forced not to. This Cheetah has not, thus far, done much for me, and the torture scene was really eyerolltastic (Barbara Freaking Minerva is afraid of getting her tail cut off? Really?), but that moment in Secret Six was the most FUCK YEAH CHEETAH scene since Jimenez left the book, so I choose to remain optimistic.
On the other hand, dig Shrapnel being unwilling to start shit with Diana. This ish does a pretty good job of demonstrating what an unstoppable badass she is. At least, when she's crazy-raged. Genocide infecting her through the lasso, I wonder, or is she just losing it? She's drifted so far from herself from the Heinboot that losing the last vestige of her center seems more than plausible at this point.
