SUMMARY:
This Amazons Attack: Aftermath tie-in is entitled “Hubris, Part 2 of 2.” DC Comics released the issue for October 2007. Returned to Washington, D.C.’s smoldering battlefield after a scolding from Athena, Wonder Woman rejoins Batman. Diana contemplates the sins incurred during the recent Amazonian invasion. At the Department of Metahuman Affairs, Special Agent Diana Prince ponders Sarge Steel’s abduction and subsequent impersonation by Everyman.
Forcing his release from the hospital, a recuperating Tom “Nemesis” Tresser tag-teams with Wonder Woman against the shape-shifting Everyman and possibly Circe herself. Once an explosion sidelines Wonder Woman, Sarge Steel’s fate may well rest with Tresser pitting his own impersonator skills vs. the psychotic Everyman.
REVIEW:
While writer J. Torres’ script glosses over some plot holes (i.e. Sarge Steel’s air supply – where is it?; how is Diana Prince and Wonder Woman seemingly in two places at once?), the story itself is certainly entertaining. Even better is the art squad’s high-caliber visuals (including the cover image). Impressively, Wonder Woman # 12 delivers some well-played DC entertainment.
ADDITIONAL CONTENT:

BRIAN’S ODD MOON RATING: 7½ Stars
