razzatazz's Wonder Woman #238 - Assassin of a Thousand Claws review

    Kind of Strange

     Diana is back in time in the 1940s with a cast of characters common to her golden age years.   Steve Trevor is a major and Etta Candy is a private and Diana is a yeoman.   Diana is trying to protect General MacArthur from an assassination attempt from Kung, a bitter Japanese American who has the ability to transform himself into any animal he chooses.   Kung explains his history and that of his family and expresses dismay about Japanese Americans being placed in detention camps.   The golden age Sandman also makes an appearance though in the end this appearance turns out to be quite unnecessary as Diana figures out the plan for the assassination attempt by herself and then deals with Kung almost single handedly.   The issue was kind of strange.   I was not really expecting something like this from reading the cover, but being out of the timeline and interacting with World War 2 people seemed like a poor choice of a concept for a multi story arc.   I would recommend if you want a taste of the golden age just read those comics instead of this one.
