Wonder Woman #14 - DC

What a fantastic book. Starting this issue Gail Simone will be the new scribe. So we should only expect great things from the Amazon Princess in the near future. This issue starts a four part-er entitled What you do not yet know. I'm not sure what the significance of that phrase is yet, but I'm sure we'll find out. This issue is also beautifully drawn by Terry and Rachel Dodson. Got a couple of nice covers too. Am I right? Anyways, we find out this issue that Sarge Steel doesn't fully trust Agent Prince. So he's putting a mole into his own organization, Lt. Colonel Candy. Her sole job is to find out just exactly how Diana is tied to the Amazons, and then bring her down. Meanwhile Wonder Woman is off fighting a band of rebel Gorilla City warriors. They're young, but they've attacked Diana, so she has to fight back. At first she fights, but then she uses her status as monarch to quell the violence. By the time she's done, the simians are bowing in the water in observance of her. She does carry herself well. But she can't take them back to the City because Solovar would be very strict in his punishment for their breach of ethics. So she takes them back to her

apartment. Don't know how good of an idea that was, but . . . we'll find out. In the process however, she learned that Grodd is going to attempt to put the Society back together under his leadership. After giving that information to Steel, her and Nemesis are sent to Canada, where the Societies last known base of operations were. They are no longer there, but Captain Nazi is. Surprisingly he is more than they can handle. But honestly, I think that he was just left behind as a diversion. We find out that at the same time, his brethren are invading Paradise Island. They want to use it for their new base of operations. I've always liked the breathe of fresh air that Gail brings in to all of her books. She's another author that really knows how to handle her characters. I'm thrilled to death that she's on this series now. I'm also thrilled that Terry and Rachel have decided to stick around for a little longer. I really thought that they would've been gone by now. But hey, I'm not complaining. Every issue we can get out of them, is another piece of art I get to peruse. Who says the gods don't answer your prayers. This was a fantastic book, and a great beginning to this new storyline. It looks like Gail's going to shake everything up. But . . . that's ok.
