    Better... and worse.

    wow. 
    The first issue of BN. Wonder Woman was kind of a let down, and as a result i almost didnt pick this one up. But as i flipped through it to make my final decision, i saw an image that made struck me dumb immediately. I slapped it shut, payed the lady, and hurried home, struggling to purge the image from my mind until i got home. 
     The actual read of this issue is pretty awesome. One of my favorite characters kinda bites the BN bullet in this one (read), and there is a pretty cool ... i guess revelation about who WW is in love with (its always kinda been an underlying idea in JLA/Wonder Woman stories, but as of this issue its at least sorta addressed). 
     I love this issue, but the ending kinda bugs me. Its one of those endings that we as readers have gotten mad about in the past. so read at your own peril. 
     3&a half.

      I was a bit disappointed by the first issue in the mini. Rucka seemed to offer only a one dimensional version of a deep character and a story that seemed in the same style as most of the other Blackest Night minis. This issue changes everything. Set during Blackest Night #6 this issue is as much a spotlight on Mera as it Wonder Woman. That's not to say that WW doesn't get her time to shine, SHE DOES, but Mera continues to evolve into a character I care about. A lot happens in this issue that act...
