First Response: Amazons Attack #6

Amazons Attack #6
Originally uploaded by Heidi Meeley

I just got home and read Amazons Attack #6 to see how this whole war ends. I read it carefully, trying not to miss a bit. I also tried hard to be objective, considering that I really like the creative team and don't want to give them the bum's rush.

My reaction:

LAME!!

SPOILER ALERT!!

This book was nothing but a set up for Final Crisis. What it has to do with the **SPOILER** New Gods remains to be seen but it definitely doesn't spotlight the Amazons or Wonder Woman.

I feel so used right now. The Amazons are in tatters and Wonder Woman is rudderless for this? So that another group of characters can take the spotlight?

All it does is confirm my worst fears. My biggest hope left is in Grant Morrison who is writing Final Crisis. My faith in him is the string that I am hanging from. His writing hasn't let me down yet, so I am hoping that editorial edict from above doesn't torpedo it.

On that note, I am going back down to the basement to find back issues. I feel much safer there. These are books from a kinder, gentler, less pandering time.
