The picture here on the left is not the actual cover to this issue. It's the one over here on the right. But, after putting this picture in here, I decided to keep it. It's actually quite a stunning portrait of Wonder Woman. Terry Dodson can really draw our princess quite exquisitely. If he or Adam Hughes were the consistent cover artist on this book, that alone would be worth the price of admission. Unfortunately, I don't think Terry will be around much longer. Which is really a shame. But then with Terry's talent, and appeal, he doesn't stick around with any book for to long. I guess we just have to be glad for the time we have with him. This issue Circe has stolen the powers from all the wonder girls. She using it to go around the world and stand up for women's rights, but she's also committing a lot of murder and mayhem in their name. Diana, with the help of Hercules, has to track down Circe and somehow get her to give everyone their powers back. The problem Diana has is that she finds out, to late, that Hercules has been in on this since the beginning with Circe. But, as with anyone siding with the witch, she ends up double crossing them and leaving them hanging in the wind. Diana does get her to say the word to give her her powers back, but then she finds out that Circe has already amassed an army of meta villains. So on the final splash page, while Circe and Hercules stand in defeat, Wonder Woman is surrounded by a wall of potential conflict. What do they say about out of the frying pan and in to the fire? The other thing I like about Terry is that, besides drawing such beautiful people, he always puts 2 or 3 full page, or even 2 page, splashes in each book. He is truly a phenomenal artist. I just hope that when the new creative team comes on board, I'm not really sure when that's going to happen, that they live up to what their predecessors were trying to do with this book.
