Wonder Woman
WONDER WOMAN #11

• A new story begins as APOLLO makes his play for ZEUS’S throne – and WONDER WOMAN is the last obstacle in his way!
• As ZOLA goes into labor, a hideous secret is revealed!
The black costume element is really out of hand once you factor in the cape and eyeliner. She looks like Black Alice. I do like how Diana's latest phallic weapon is shooting a load out of the tip. Subtle. I wish they'd just thrown in a "goosh" sound effect.

It kills me that there's more copy related to credits and retailer incentives than actual story content. Why would I want to read about heroes who can't even keep their own costumes in check, anyway?

I like the cover to this latest issue of WW, but then I disliked the others. Still think Diana's boots are too large, though.
