Post Awesome Things Month: Wonder Woman Picspam!

[beccatoria]

Okay, chaila43 has an awesome idea to do a Post Awesome Things month to counteract the dead air summer feeling around here right now, and I think it's great. Quite a few people are doing it, and I feel super bad for not replying to them all - I've been having a really busy/stressful week, to be honest, so please accept my apologies if you're reading this and I haven't replied. But I did spent this evening hiding from any and all responsibility by capping Wonder Woman pictures of Awesome Bits of the comics I recently read.

Honestly, these aren't the, um, what I consider the quintessential moments, really, because honestly most of those aren't easily capped because they're like whole SEQUENCES that BREAK MY HEART PRECIOUS and require like, context and stuff, but um, have a random collection of DianaCaps anyway!





She is very good at punching.


And practical about one should expect when engaging in tavern brawls in witchsquid hinterlands.


Sometimes she brings gorillas as back-up.

Actually I was originally just going to show the hilarious contextless gorilla-assisted top panel, but I forgot to clip it out and the rest of the page is actually pretty cool and says a fair amount about the character too. So have that also. But mostly, gorillas.


She will headbutt you.


She will also win. But winning might kind of suck.


I wouldn't.


I would.


She knows how to dress for an occasion.


This occasion requires an extraordinary amount of violence.


This occasion requires surrendering to the Hague in full diplomatic attire.


If I were going to war, I would wear this instead of a swimsuit, too.


She likes to hug people. Occasionally it is unsolicited


Occasionally it is a cunning ruse to discuss alien cuisine.


Usually it is full of love.


Sometimes there cannot be hugs.


She is super heroic!


And trained in ambidexterous dual axe technique!


And blind-fighting!


And is fully aware of how to properly address an enemy (a necessary corollary of dressing for an occasion)!


Being a practicing polytheistic superhuman in America can raise complex philsophical issues.


However, as a recent convert to the Hawaiian sky god, Diana promotes religious freedom.


In fact, the more gods with whom she is associated, the more she can defy in a dramatic manner. She has found Zeus is particularly useful for this.


When she defies Athena, Athena usually caves. Diana is a total Daddy's girl.


Oh Superman, I knew I loved you for a reason.


I FIND THIS UTTERLY CHARMING.

But mostly, Diana knows who she is:


And what's important:

How is she so flawlessly AMAZING? <33333333

*bliss and glee*

One of my favorite pictures of her ever is of her in that yellow ball gown and battle stance and awesome sword. DIANA. DIANAAAAAA.

I know the reboot of her has been very unpopular, and I'm not that fond of it, but it's also brought one of my favorite sequences of her. I should get it and upload it for you, it's beautiful.

There continues--even in reading these--to be something about the act of reading comics that I find off-putting, but I wish that weren't the case, because she seems fantastic!!! And the whole thing seems clever and witty and just generally great fun. Except...I just really have a hard time reading spatially. Argh!

Awesome things! She does indeed look very awesome! Wonder Woman > the DA, obviously. I'm intrigued if these aren't even the best bits. If we treat this as my first tiny attempt to read comics, I think I need to practice. I get lost about who's talking to whom and find myself skipping over the pictures to the words, which I think misses half the point. It's such a different medium than what I'm used to, but I am a bit curious about whether I'll get used to it if I give it a good try. If only to see whether I can be convinced to care about gorillas and cake along with mothers and sisters. :)

This post made my evening.

Wonder Woman is so strong and self-assured... I'm not a big reader of comics but if I wanted to see more of her, what would you suggest? Especially if there is something with her and Superman, because the little section with them was adorable. And you're right, that scene where they're eating dinner is utterly charming.

If I would like to try reading Wonder Woman comics, where's a good start? (I know nothing about the DCU universe, and the decades of canon in superhero comics are sort of frightening.)

I like when she wears the flappy skirt! It's like Xena! Is that from Rucka or Simone? -- the art is fantastic.

Also I like when she DOES THINGS to ladies! Ahem.

We have been just slammed this week getting ready for our trip/move. Sigh! Miss you and the Cavemen...
