Amazons Attack! #2 - DC

This one was pretty good. I like the way with this title that they're overlapping with the regular books. Usually when something like this happens, such a large crossover, there's a lot of overlapping stories when you go from book to book. So basically, if you read all the regular titles, you can pretty much pass up the mini, because you'll get all the info in the other places. You just have to put it all together, which is what the mini's do. Or, if you read the mini, you can skip all the crossovers because you'll get all the info you need here. Well . . . with this one . . . that ain't the case. You'll get part of a particular scene in one of the main titles, but you have to come here to see how it finishes. An example is the Wonder Woman book. In that book, Nemesis exposes Everyman as being a duplicate for Sarge Steel. While he himself is mimicking him also. But that's where the story ends. This issue, that scene picks back up, and plays out. Also in the Teen Titans book, Donna has been in contact, and kind of hanging out with, Jason Todd. He has a theory, from what he heard from the Monitors when they killed Duela, that there are heroes that are misplaced. That is to say on the wrong Earth. He believes himself and Donna to be two of those heroes. And I think Donna is starting to consider that story also. Anyways, there is reference, in this book, to her hanging out with a new acquaintance. But that's all the farther the reference goes. So you have to read the Teen Titans to get the rest of the story. And that's how this whole book plays out. I like that they're being smarter about their series, and how it fits in to the rest of the DC continuity. And I'm glad that they're assuming that the reader is smart enough to put it all together. This book ends with an attack on Kansas. The whole state is in flames. So in this book Superman takes of, which Batman doesn't know where at first . . . until he finds out about Kansas. And that story, I'm sure, will be played out in one of the Superman books. Meanwhile in this book, the crux of the story is about the Amazonian army, and about Hippolyta in particular. I really think they did a great job with this book. Props to Will Pfiefer and Pete Woods. An outstanding display of talent by both.
