If He Be Worthy
I have much more porn to post, I promise, but at the moment, I'm feeling a bit down over the Pens victory (look, I know they're a good team, I know we weren't going to sweep, but it was still a nice thought, you know?), so I thought I'd pull out a good pick-me-up I've had on tap for a while. I bring to you one of the few awesome things to come out of the Amalgam event - a Worthy Warrior.

Okay, yes, her Thor!costume is bloody stupid. But it's Diana. That sort of comes with the territory.

That entire story was a huge mess. The premise is incredibly stupid, and the fact that all the battles were determined by fan votes led to some really idiotic solutions... not to mention, there were so many of the battles that the comic only had room to give each battle two or three pages... often with oversized images and half-pages.

The entire "Diana with Thor's hammer" idea is a perfect example of the problems with the story: They set it up and then do nothing at all with it, because there's no room in the story. The only thing we get is a couple of panels with Wonder Woman sporting an even more ridiculous-looking costume than usual, and then she throws the hammer away. The "what the HELL was the point of that?!" factor is enormous.

The one good thing that came out of all this was the Amalgam universe.

	Nah. Establishing that Diana qualifies as worthy was a good thing. The Robin/Jubilee stuff was a good thing. Hulk dropping the giant penny in the Batcave on the Molemen was fantastic. It had its moments. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I thought Aquaman dropping a whale on Namor was pretty funny myself. (Reply to this) (Parent)
