Wonder Woman #34 - DC

I just love Gail Simone's humor. And . . it's perfect for this book. Dinah and Diana have to go undercover to Japan and enter Roulette's fighting rinks. Supposedly, according to Professor Morrow, that's where Genocide's body is being held. Anyways, Dinah is trying to pick an outfit for Diana when she mentions, "We have an issue here . . the sexier the outfit, the fewer questions asked. But that mean exposing our community's second most famous bosom." This confuses Diana, and she asks for explanation. "Well, yeah. After Power Girl, of course. You mean you haven't seen all the websites? Trust me on this, those things are considered like a national treasure." But then, she can also push the emotional buttons. When Diana is questioning Professor Morrow, she asks him why he's willing to destroy his own creation. His reply . . "Do you know my name Wonder Woman? My real name. Tomek Ovadya Morah. My family was from Nasielsk, a little town outside Warsaw. I can't be part of anything called Genocide, Wonder Woman. I beg you. Destroy that aberration." Meanwhile, back on Themyscira, the new 'pecking order' is being established. King Achilles has 'respectfully requested' that General Phillipus and her soldiers relinquish their weapons. He's not happy with the way it's being handled, but . . he was so ordered by Zeus. He also asks Alkyone, and her companions to be his personal guard, and for Alkyone to become his Queen. At the end of the issue, after the Orphan Sisters, Dinah and Diana, have defeated Lira and Muck, someone else is asking Sgt Steel to fight in the ring. Do you still remember that Sgt Steel is actually Doctor Psycho? Anyways, she tells him ". . I am the Goddess of Violence, and she killed my father. Do I need more reason?" Apparently someone can see through Diana's disguise. This should be a good story-arc, with Dinah and Diana working together. They make a good team. Again this issue was brilliantly drawn by Aaron Lopresti.
