Johnson’s art isn’t terrible, the grimy style just isn’t very appealing to me. This is also the homeliest-looking Wonder Woman I’ve ever seen - she’s Wonder Cavewoman and I don’t know why. Not that she has to look like a supermodel but she does have an established look that’s consistent across her numerous appearances and this is nothing like that. despite his great art, there was one thing that I hated and that was Diana's face design. He gave her the ugliest face and that i didn't like. Due to the Dead: After bearing witness to Diana's failed attempt at peacefully stopping her mother and her resorting to killing her "sisters", the humans put the Haedras to proper rest in graves.

Garófalo, Nicolaos (March 2, 2020). "DC encomenda linha de HQs de autor Batman: Cavaleiro Branco". Omelete (in Portuguese) . Retrieved January 23, 2022. This take on an angry, hurting, and volatile Wonder Woman is one I love in theory, but in execution, it feels weak. I don’t know if having a woman write this story would’ve solved the issues I have with it...but it definitely wouldn’t have hurt. Johnson gives a solid attempt at doing something unique, and he succeeds in that he capitalizes on his setting, but he fails in his attempts to weave meaningful thematics. Wonder Woman creator William Moulton Marston, along with his polyamorous wife Elizabeth Marston and partner Olive Byrne, designed Themiscyra to be a female utopia that thrives free from the influence of man’s world. And while the island’s relationship to the world has changed over the years, “Dead Earth” explores that relationship as a cycle of abuse. There are lots of great moments making this one allmost a five stars read, but I'm afraid I had to be far more familiar with Wonder Woman character to give that score. Sorry, but I just thought the story was incredibly meh. I didn't hate-hate it, but I'm sure as shit not reading any more of it. To be very honest, I just didn't like this incarnation of Wonder Woman at all. The explanation for the state of the world was weird, and several things seemed completely out of character for Diana. The humans huddled together were (to me) a very throwaway group that I didn't care about at all. And the battle at the end wasn't very gripping. It felt like every other story I've ever read about how our warmongering and pollution will eventually end us.

No offense to fans of it, but I don't tend to like post-apocalyptic stories that have a bunch of grubby people with weird haircuts fighting over resources. I do realize that there are a lot of folks out there that really dig this setting, and this comic will probably be spot-on for them. There’s a kind of innate trust created by a mother and her child at birth. The lifegiver and the fragile life that depends on her. And there’s a trust that an innocent child places in the world before they know how deeply they can be hurt by it. Bittersweet Ending: Diana regains her full power and humanity is safe, for now. After killing all the Haedras in self-defense, Diana attempts to reach out to her mother again, who still refuses to make peace with the humans and Diana for costing her everything and she disappears to places unknown. Some of her human companions are dead, but Dee, Reya, and Eddog survive and they begin to rebuild on Themyscira. Diana is woken from suspended animation to find a destroyed world. No spoilers, but part of her journey is discovering what caused the destruction and the agents behind the even more death and destruction in a devastated world.

One of the things I like about writing Diana is her willingness to put herself on the line,” said Johnson. “She has this loving character about her, which you don’t really see in Superman or Batman. Wonder Woman is not afraid to say ‘I love you.’” Any size contribution will help keep CBH alive and full of new comics guides and content.

Wonder Woman: Dead Earth is just not the DC's take on Old Man Logan or Batman: Last Knight on Earth re-telling/tie-in I was expecting for, but an epic, brutal, and sometimes distutbing mini-series with a grimdark main storyline much more metal than recent event/crossover with the same name and dripping with comics/games/movies references/easter-eggs.

Kdyz uz si clovek rika, ze superhrdinskej zanr je totalne vycpelej, tak prijde muj oblibenej autor a kreslir v jedny osobe, vezme postavu, ktera me nikdy nezajimala a napise ctyrdilnou paradu, kterou me odpali do vesmiru.This what-if story offers fans the chance to discover an unprecedented level of grim narrative and gore with Wonder Woman at the heart of this calamity. Split into four issues, the story immerses you in a ghastly world that looks nothing like the Earth this hero has known and protected with her compatriots of the Justice League. As the story progresses, the reader is immediately introduced to the variety of world-building elements that help piece together the history and war that led to its current state. The subtle and sometimes very brutal connection to some of the iconic heroes who perished from the war also smoothly consolidates the universe in which this story takes place. However, there’s nothing more ghastly in this tale than the reveal of the source of destruction, following the divide on the matter of climate change, and what it implicates for the remaining humans in their own war against the strange creatures called haedras. Fortunately, through Wonder Woman, it is possible to identify the very virtues she fights for and recognize her iron will and belief that there is still good in everyone despite what her environment reveals, giving readers a vessel of hope in this dilapidated world.

Diana's equipment is on Themyscira because she left them while she defended the island from the nuclear missiles. This includes her gauntlets, which her mother had taken off to help her against the nukes. The world of “Dead Earth” is a more extreme, mystically-infused take on a global apocalypse, with the world destroyed through war and something called “The Great Fire.” And while humanity’s violence is the cause of Earth’s sudden destruction, Johnson also has human-created environmental catastrophe play a role in our doom. The earth is fragile and humankind’s destructive nature, on both a short-term and long-term scale, has consequences. The world that limps on in the aftermath is a sort of feudal nightmare, with few holding power and the rest in service to the whims of brutal men. Princess Diana of Themyscira left paradise to save Man's World from itself. When Wonder Woman awakens from a centuries-long sleep to discover the Earth reduced to a nuclear wasteland, she knows she failed. Trapped alone in a grim future, Diana must protect the last human city from titanic monsters while uncovering the secret of this dead Earth--and how she may be responsible for it.

Wonder Woman: Dead Earth” is a hire wire act of tone and thematics – a brutal and bloody post-apocalyptic survival story that slams headfirst into a superhero tale that embraces the core truths of its lead hero. And the power of this story is that Johnson is able to keep both of these tenets in balance with one another. “Dead Earth” is grim. It’s exciting. It’s frightening. And it’s inspiring through its use of compassionate brutality. Which I totally agree with, but I think I've just read this same story too many times for it to be compelling. As mentioned before, Daniel Warren Johnson handles both writing and artistic duties on this book, with the aid of Mike Spicer’s coloring. Johnson’s art style isn’t necessarily what you would expect given the violent nature of the subject, and yet it fits perfectly. It has an almost children’s storybook illustrative quality to it, which matches with the mythical tone of the narrative. The main difference here being most children’s storybooks aren’t full of evisceration blood spouting from gaping wounds. The art is hopeful when it has to be, and incredibly dark when it’s called for.

Wonder Woman: Dead Earth is a grim and horrifying post-apocalyptic tale with a hero searching for hope and opportunities for redemption. Vomit Indiscretion Shot: Diana vomits after finding Superman's corpse, plus learning that she killed him, although Shadow Discretion Shot is also in play. Diana has had many different origins over the years, but Johnson chooses to use the story that Wonder Woman was shaped out of clay by her mother while adding a new layer – that her mother stole blood from all the gods and mixed it with the clay to give her daughter unimaginable power. And it’s clear that Hippolyta made her daughter like this to be strong enough to never be harmed by the world. Yet Johnson uses this origin to add a layer of strength and tragedy to Diana that her mother could never anticipate. Adams, Tim (July 19, 2018). "DC Announces Batman/Joker Series By Marc Silvestri".
