DC Retroactive- Wonder Woman 80's


DC Retroactive: Wonder Woman - The 80's #1 

    In this special, a lost tale of Wonder Woman’s has her pitted against a ‘clone’ of herself. Meanwhile, paramour Steve Trevor commandeers a jet in hopes of tracking the Amazonian down in order to determine once and for all if the Princess of Themyscira loves him or not! A great use of American tax dollars and resources, folks!

   As an added bonus, there’s a reprint from 1982 that explains some of the origin and backgrounds of the villains who are trying to defeat Wonder Woman.

   Unlike in the 1970s volume, both stories have either a conclusion or a caption explaining that the tale is to be continued. The 80s story is a little confusing as Trevor is from Earth-2 and Wonder Woman doesn’t know anything about multiple earths despite decades of teaming up or fighting visitors from Earth’s-2 and 3. There’s obviously some retconning prior to this reprint that I didn’t know about and it makes for a difficult read at those plot points. Otherwise, both stories have great art and a reasonable overall storyline.

   Worth Consuming.

   Rating: 7 out of 10 stars.
