A long awaited 2 issue crossover arc of Batbrick and Wonder Woman.

And it’s first part feels quite inconciquential. It is nothing but a setup for an interesting part, the part that DC by their tradition given out to Batman…

>:(

Never stand behind a centaur!

As you could’ve guessed i don’t realy like crossovers with Batman, i think that Bats is the parasite on any of this crossovers, he always becomes the center of attention, even if he dies he still lives. THAT HAPPENED TWICE!!

ABSOLUTE ZATANNA IS HERE!!! For whole 3 pages

AND NOW SHE IS A BAD GIRL!!! In a Suicide Squad and her own book was announced. So most likely she is not really evil

AND SHE’S HOT! Which is true

It was a nice and simple anthology comic about Wonder Woman. All of the stories had a very different tone, so it gone from pseudo-philosophy on human nature of dillusion to a funny kid story about somebody stealing peaches

I had really liked only the last story in here

Automation could do the work faster.
We do the work cheaper.

I read this series for The Question and Green Arrow, and i have and idea why Batman is here, but i cannot explain it without swearing :)

Honestly out of the annual issue i expected more. Of course it was good to see how much compassion Diana is holding and how she was impacted by her temporary transformation into Medusa. And it was good to see her try to fix real Medusa’s curse after feeling how torturous this form was. But it could’ve been done better

In this episode of “Life and torture of Bruce Wayne” we finally have long awaited debut of Poison Ivy. And damn she is fabulous, especially in her true form

This issue has three plots run simultaneously. First is Bruce’s daily life going to hell. Second is Ivy’s origin full of delightful deranged philosophy. And third happens in current time with Ivy taking over the center of Gotham and corrupting it with her idea of “the Seventh Kingdom of Life”

Tropelet Annataz ot ytefas.

As i predicted Absolute Zathana is not evil. She was mindcontrolled by a starfish living in her throat. On literally third page she had coughed it out and ran away

Also this issue had a fight between two giant women :)

Proper status quo Absoulute Superman was pretty good. This small arc continues breadcrumb trail from the Absolute Evil. Hawkman sucks in the best way possible. Clarks daily life is fascinating and shows that realistic and gritty Superman still can and should be a kind person. Parasite given me some long needed dose of body-horror. And Absolute Lex Luthor is a kindest and chillest family guy ever. Untill Brainiac comes to his home

And this part was truly painful to watch. Especially the reveal page on which Lex just sits alone in the aftermath of the massacre that Brainiac done for some idiotic reason. The only thing the open brain accomplished by that was gaining the enemy potentially far worse than any kryptonian

What a disappointing mess. Ivy was beaten by pointing a gun at her still human heart. And Batman in the end shot her anyway because fuck her i presume. What he expected by that? Snapping last straw between her humanity and godhood? And Bruce got not one but two pep-talks with Gordon and got nothing from them

“What publication is even less respected than comic books? One that can make me feel better by comparison?” That’s when it hit me: MAD Magazine

An April Fools one-shot of a bunch of DC’s writers and artists making short comedy. It was pretty hit or miss. A whole lot of milenial humor of “Had we really did this stupid thing?”. A small bit of really smart pages that made me giggle. So yea the cover is not lying, comedy is subjective. And i don’t like most modern comedy because i have taste

I liked Weid’s, Coover’s, North’s and Taylor’s sketches

It is a classic story. I don’t really like it. Moore written better works and modern recolored editions look like they were made by amatures who just opened Photoshop and not original artist

Zatanna saved Diana’s life and got a useless, almost completely unjustified beating for it. Because what would a superhero comic be without pointless fights due to misunderstandings >:(

On the other hand, it was a really cool pointless fight due to misunderstanding. Both sides were creative and fully utilized their skills. I especially liked how Zatanna(whose magic depends on language) casted a spell in actual ASL (i checked, she gestured “TSOHG”) when Diana put her in a chokehold, expecting that by depriving her of her voice, she would be deprived of her magic. It’s a small thing, but it’s cool thing. I’m sure they hung the Chechov’s gun on that.

And there’s also a whole page of dialogue about love, vulnerability, and compassion between a young Diana and the winner of the 1184 BC Sexy Halloween Costume Contest (see Absolute Wonder Woman #16)

So, it wasn’t a bad idea to miss a month to read the latest issue today :)

Now we are talking. Everything finally makes sense. And the writer finally remembered that the Absolute is supposed to be more depressing. So long story short, Aphrodite accidentally gave Diana a very serious curse. Simply put, Wonder Woman miraculously makes people fall in love with her, as if she unconciously poures a diluted Love Potion into everyone’s tea. And this will likely break Diana’s impressive 19-issue long optimism marathon, because sooner or later this fact will surface, and the question arises: who’s going to be more freaked out by this fact? Diana, from the shock, or the entire planet from betrayal?

The fight with Zatanna’s dad ended rather quickly, thanks to the use of a lasso called Troika. It’s essentially the good old Lasso of Truth, but to use it, you need to get inside someone’s head.

Gotham never changes

It was a pretty fun comic, until Batman showed up and ruined it by one line

Two-face is the perfect villain to be reformed. But noooo he’s a psycho and gone too far. Don’t look at Ivy’s list of borderline sexual assult and eco-terrorism, doing normal crime with a coin gimmick is somehow makes the mentally ill guy an irredeemable villain

Don’t get me wrong i don’t want to see Harvey in the Bat-family, but i liked this new status quo with the White Church(for whole 4 issues he had it). He’s not a hero but definitely not a straight up villain, he’s just a dick who tries to redeem himself in not the best way, but now he’s also a criminal lawyer

If authors were given more time and were going for more procedural court drama(as it started) it would’ve been one of my favorites, but sadly it’s a miniseries
