Wonder Woman #21 - DC


Last issue Diana came to this world of scorcery in search of Lord Beowulf. Although for the life of me . . I can't remember why. I'm sure it'll come to me though. But you know what? Right now . . I really don't care. Between Gail Simone's stories and Aaron Lopresti's art . . I really can't find a reason to not like this book right now. But now it seems as if they've taken up the Stalker's mission . . . to destroy the devil, Dgrth. Apparently, now, they're on a quest for the 3 swords necessary to kill him on the stone alter at the end of the world. The 3 of them also come across the Claw, but it seems they can't call him that here. I think his name is being used by another company right now. But after their fight, Diana absorbs the deformity of the man they've just bested. Hence . . the cover. Meanwhile, back in the regular DC Universe, Director Steel, of the DMA, has come to suspect Diana and Etta of being undercover agents. He thinks that they're trying to subvert his organization under the direction of the Amazons. He doesn't want there to be an Amazon's Attack: the return. So he tasks Agent Tresser with their surveillance. Which leads Agent Tresser to discover the Apes living in Diana's apartment. And on Paradise Island, Diana's mother has come to suspect that her daughter is on a mission which may be perilous to her well-being. You know . . mother's intuition and all. Who ever thought that Wonder Woman would be a Sword & Sorcery book? Or that Gail Simone would be writing it? But, it's these things that Diana goes through that keeps this book interesting.
