Wonder Woman: Paradise Found by José Marzán Jr., Travis Moore, Phil Jimenez, Brandon Badeaux, Andy Lanning, Marlo Alquiza, Lary Stucker, Kevin Conrad
3.0
Though the cover is complete crap, the book itself is not that bad. Is it on par with 'Paradise Lost'? No. The first story is rather silly--but its great stuff if you're a Wonder Woman fan...Circe appears again, with a male Cheetah. The concept of a male Cheetah is pretty hot [hat tip to Jimenez, and even though I tire of seeing Circe as a villain in WW comics--she really is the only one who could possibly get away with making a 'male Cheetah'!
The main bulk of the book is the 'Her Mother's Daughter' storyline; about Earth being dragged into a dimensional war with an alien race. ***SPOILERS***
Quite frankly, I was happy to see Hippolyte go. As a queen without a country, she came off as a bitter woman with little to do except 'be bitter'. Donning the suit and helping with the final battle, was a very noble way to take her out--despite the very uncool way she gave up her crown. I love the way the Amazons under Phillipus and Artemis were so battle ready and prepped for the fight--and of course, the whole connection between Diana and Darkseid [I only wish it played out without the inclusion of the Teen Titans].
We're then treated to another Circe story, which I hated. It was the typical tripe that makes me hate Circe stories--the only good point about the story was watching how the Amazons dealt with their island being destroyed again--after the last story 'Her Mother's Daughter', and seeing all the Earth female heroes and villains team up, to take out the male/animals and Circe. Not only that, we get to see male Cheetah again, and Superman cry like a toddler.
The last story is Paradise Found--and it's quite cool in a weird 'all is fixed' Hollywood sort of way. Themyscira is in the Bermuda Triangle, Phillipus and Artemis are in control of the two main city-states, the ghost of Hippolyte is happy, and Wonder Woman might have another shot at getting into Trevor Barnes pants. All is well in the world.
