2013 Wonder Woman “Female Super Hero Fan Film”

Female Super Hero Fan Film from Jesse V. Johnson on Vimeo.

Could have done without the butt shots, but the costume is reasonably accurate, and I'll take it if the moneymaker leads to the filmmaking. Despite the budgetary restrictions, I've seen super-hero feature films *cough*steel*cough* with lower production values. Dig the homage to the "Red For Death!" airplane versus machine gun cover to The New Wonder Woman #189! Dude-- Peter Stormare, dude! Featuring Nina Bergman as the Amazing Amazon and Timothy V. Murphy as a mighty damned handsome Nazi, as directed by Jesse V. Johnson.

2011 “Vil7: Circe Cubee” by Joshua Wolf

Click To Enlarge


From what I've read on the internet, a "cubee" is a form of paper craft, like origami or folded airplanes or those things girls put on their fingers to predict the future. You print them out on a piece of paper, cut out as directed, then fold and apply adhesives until you have a crude blocky figure sitting on your desk. As you might have noted from my thinly veiled disdain, this isn't really my kind of thing, though I bet they're fun to design.

Joshua Wolf's output would bear that out, as he has dozens of galleries spanning the spectrum of geek media devoted to turning characters cubee. Circe was one of the earliest inclusions in his subset devoted to villains, and this was her most current look at the time, based on appearances in issues during the Gail Simone/Aaron Lopresti run on Wonder Woman. I wasn't a fan of that, either, and their Circe was pretty off-model, so this ain't my bag, either.

2013 Young Romance: The New 52 Valentine's Day Special Wonder Woman cut-out card

"You're wonder-ful"
Would it have killed them to 'shop out the holstered sword? Sigh. The text is appropriately cheesy like we did it back in the old (grade) school, and this is a recognizable, frankly gorgeous drawing of Wonder Woman, even with the New 52 accoutrements. See the full set of cut-out cards here.
