Family Reunions Are Hell 1
When I first saw the cover to this issue, two thoughts came to mind, the first being rather obvious: What the heck is that blue thing, and why is Cliff Chiang's name missing from this cover?As it turns out, Tony Akins is a mighty fine substitute for Cliff Chiang. Either he always draws in this fashion, or he changed his style to match the tone of the previous four issues (I am unfamiliar with his work, unfortunately). The book looks marvelous, and will work wonderfully in the upcoming trade.Ther...

A step down, but not too much. 1
It took me two reads of this comic to get used to Brian Azzarello's style of writing a London English accent. As a Brit I'm soooo picky about this, and I really hope that not everyone Diana interacts with in Britain sounds exactly the same. Message to America: we are not all cockneys!!! OK, so she lives in London. So ok for now. :)I was concerned about how well Tony Akins would do filling in for Cliff Chiang. Chiang's art has been so incredibly good for this series, there was a lot to live up to...

War for the Chair 0
Brain Azzerello has been giving us one of the greatest Wonder Woman stories we've had for a while. Now that Diana has left Paradise Island and Strife is gone. Things might get a bit better. But why do things seem to be getting worst? THE GOOD: The artist is different this issue. Tony Akins is new to me but I'm liking what he did this issue. The colors make it look also similar to Cliff's work. I like the way he drew Diana is clothes this issue. The story is actually where things heat up but als...

Daughter of Zeus 1
This series is moving along at a nice steady pace here, not really disappointing on any front but not really exciting either. Of course a series which relies on plot over action will always be more enticing to me and this series has that, though even the action is present enough here as well. Sitting around London discussing the recent events, the three get two unlikely visitors, one a previously unencountered immortal whose path is tied to Diana's in a way she is not yet sure, and the other i...

Part of the Lennox Avenue Ladybugs Anyone? They Just Want to Win. 0
At first I kind of thought, huh, Tony Akins' art isn't too different from Cliff Chiang's, it has a similar minimalist cartoony look to it. Then I realized they're actually extremely different versions of that type of style. Chiang's art emphasizes the straight lines, keeps things rough and almost chiseled in a great way. Akins' is round and a little goofy at times. And even if his style was as similar as I originally thought, the lingering nag of 'Why?' must be accounted for. Why use Tony Akins ...

things get greeky with messy art 0
Art - Especially Diana & London could have been more beautiful!!When I turn the first page I get these questions: where did wonder woman go? who is this lady with blue hairs and some long gown? OH MY GOD? IT IS HER!!! what the heck happened to ART??????? then I turn back and see the cover only to find that CLIFF CHIANG IS not the artist anymore from this issue!!!I just could not accept the art on these pages after having a happy 4 issues of Cliff's art! I took a gulp and continued patiently ...
