Take a trip back to the days of disco with everyone's favorite Amazon Princess. Wonder Woman hits the dance floor in pursuit of an escaped Russian spy.
The writing is... Well, it's like the 70s, so don't expect it to be deep or too serious. It's sort of serious but always light, like the show they're patterning it after.
The art is great all throughout, and the Lynda Carter Wonder Woman looks appropriately gorgeous.
Great artwork. It is clearly Lynda Carter being depicted as Diana Prince/Wonder Woman (which just makes me happy as I was raised in that era - she is my Wonder Woman.) Little disappointed that this was just part ONE of three for Chapter ONE. What a way to drag it out. Best to wait for the completed tale -- or a least a complete chapter.
Wonder Woman '77 (2014-) #1 DISCO INFERNO: Part 1: “If there’s one thing I really dislike about Man’s World... ...It’s their reliance on guns!” Silver Swan and the Starlings!! are more than what they just seem!
This was my first time reading any wonderwoman comics and I adored everything about this. The illustration style was gorgeous - I was in awe at how much detail went into each frame - and I found the comic to be a perfect blend of art and text.
The dialogue was slightly cheesy, but adorable. I loved the relationship between Agent Prince and Agent Trevor - it was clear he treated her as an equal, but even more so, a friend, despite not knowing who she really was. Steve's relationship with wonderwoman was also super cute, especially when she wins the giant teddy bear for him at the fair and he tells the game operator that 'she can handle it'.
The feministic messages were amazing too - particularly the way Diana interacts with the woman who had struggled with domestic abuse.
I also loved how each storyline brought readers into the story as everyone was in the middle of something, and slowly we picked up on what was happening, and then there's an interlude of backstory/context for the next mission, and then back into action. It was very formulaic but I found it to be super effective.
All in all, loved this ^.^

Poor Wonder Woman has gone through a lot of changes, but for some of us, the real incarnation of the superheroine will always be the 1970s TV version. This collection of two multi-chapter stories takes place in the world of the second two seasons and is full of the camp and color of the show. While the illustrations look like Lynda Carter and Lyle Waggoner, that's not nearly as important as the good-natured fun of the plots, which feature a Wonder Woman who brims with an earnestness to help and the attitude of a wise older sister. If you feel like the heroine's recent incarnation is too violent (or like me are really not pleased with the rewrite of her origin in the New 52), this is the book for you.
It's not perfect, but it is pretty damn fun. If you're a fan of the 70's TV show and Linda Carter and appreciate the camp value in it all, you'll enjoy this issue. They totally have the camp value tuned in just right. The spinning to become WW is there. The I.A.D.C and I.R.A. are there. That ponytail and the big glasses are there. Good hair Steve Trevor in attendance too. Pretty good stuff and only for a $1. I'll be subscribing
Part 1 of 3. Here are Steve and Diana Prince in white disco spandex at NYC's Club 52. They are fighting those pesky Soviets and the scenery is a hoot. A 3 because it is in 3 parts and there is no way to tell which is what as all the covers are the same. Have to go back and try to figure which are the other 2 parts of this series.
I loved the artwork and the story seems good so far. As far as viewing this goes, I viewed it on an iPad and had no problems with formatting, it looked great. I love the throwback to the 70s, the roller skates and disco. I can't wait for more.
