The Fellowship was fortunate enough to obtain a copy of WONDER
WOMAN ’77 MEETS THE BIONIC WOMAN #1 from Dynamite Entertainment and DC Comics.
The story is by Andy Mangels, with art by Judit Tondora, colors by Michael
Bartolo & Stuart Chaifetz, and letters by Tom Orzechowski & Lois
Buhalis.
All the intelligence agencies are meeting in Washington,
D.C. to discuss the threat of a new paramilitary group called Castra. There is
also a possibility of a member being a mole working for one of the intelligence
agencies. Diana and Jamie’s assignment is to protect a scientist who appears to
be Castra’s next target. Castra strikes again on different fronts, but our
heroes are victorious. However, there was a cost to this victory. But questions
remain: Who is the mole? Who is the leader of Castra? What is their plan? Stay
tuned…
This issue literally starts with a bang and is action
packed. Andy Mangels’ script definitely captures the vibe of the 70’s shows
(especially the sexism). I thought it was a nice touch that Jamie automatically
figures out who Wonder Woman is, but plays along. The narration boxes matching
from the Wonder Woman TV show was perfect. Fans of either show or character
will love this book. Check it out.
WONDER WOMAN ’77 MEETS THE BIONIC WOMAN #1 is in stores
now or available at www.dynamite.com.
