But I promise you the illustrations are to die for and the over large pages showcase it beautifully All New Collectors Edition Superman vs Wonder Woman This was a pretty obvious pairing for a superhero battle but it maybe wasn t quite the match up that fans wanted to see as this was set in World War II so it was Superman and Wonder Woman from Earth 2 not the primary characters from Earth 1 although the monthly Wonder Woman comic of the period was telling stories of Wonder Woman from Earth 2 during World War 2 For those not familiar with the distinction Superman of Earth 2 was the original Superman and he wasn t as powerful as the later version although in this story he was about half way between the two. Gerry Conway s story felt slightly forced to me and his reasons for the two battling before they talked didn t feel quite right to me he was writing a lot for DC at the time and generally his work was better Heroes battling each other is pretty much a staple of the comics industry and it s always difficult to come up with stories that don t make it seem forced so I m happy to cut Conway some slack here Jose Luis Garcia Lopez and Dan Adkins did a great job with the art and visually the book is excellent All New Collectors Edition Superman vs Wonder Woman Pastel de manzana Una excusa argumental pobre donde destaca el cuestionamiento que la hero na hace respecto al desarrollo de armamento nuclear por el gobierno estadounidense que la lleva a enfrentar al campe n que se aliena con el sistema El dibujo de Jos Luis Garc a L pez es tema aparte con esa precisi n y estilo que son r brica de una poca All New Collectors Edition Superman vs Wonder Woman I read this book way back in 1982 But it was translated in Indonesian in black and white in standard comic size I was in awe reading this beauty Now I read this in its original English language in color and in treasury sized It was awesome. This earlier Elseworlds DC comic puts Superman and Wonder Woman in the middle of World War II Wonder Woman finds out that America is planning to build nuclear bombs It doesn t sit well with her so she goes nuts trying to prevent it from happening That s where Superman comes in. There s nothing bad that I can find about this book As a big fan of Mr Garcia Lopez I find the art spectacular as always Highest recommendation possible All New Collectors Edition Superman vs Wonder Woman
I first got ths back around when it came out I never actually read it until now As Michael reviewed this is a bad story by Conway carrying his political views on his shoulder As usually happens in such a case plot is secondary to emotional views and the entirely fails. What really makes this story stupid is portraying Wonder Woman as a hippy activist against nuclear weapons Wonder Woman was created as an warrior The creation is the definition of what the atomic bomb can do Conway actually muddles his story as he has both Wonder Woman and Superman drawn as destruct bombs destroying various locations Conway undermines his message. Bottom line I don t recommend this book 3 out of ten points All New Collectors Edition Superman vs Wonder Woman A 72 page comic novel with many double page layouts by Garcia Lopez and Dan Adkins the tale is set in WW II in which our protagonists disagree over the use of the bomb by the United States so Wonder Woman tries to prevent everyone from having it President Roosevelt promises never to use the bomb against enemies near the end of the tale I think this idea could have been explored a lot Along the way Superman gets involved with the Battle of Midway as well While this ends in a draw as most do between heroes comics history shows that in fact Wonder Woman holds an advantage over Supes of 6 wins 4 losses and 5 draws as compiled in 2017 by Comic Book Resources All New Collectors Edition Superman vs Wonder Woman Good Wonder Woman portrait and nice view of the Manhattan project The bad Sexist as most comics of that time And Superman was a Je k as he used to be until the 90 s All New Collectors Edition Superman vs Wonder Woman I still own the original tabloid size comic edition of this as well as Roy Thomas s 90s Young All Stars retcon of how the story played out in a continuity in which there was no Superman or Wonder Woman during World War II but it had been over a decade since I d last read it and I m a sucker for nice hardcover re issues. The story holds up well enough The requirement that Supes and Wonder Woman had to fight first always felt a bit forced to me and still does but it gives us that great set piece on the Moon that introduced a lost city I m not sure anyone ever followed up on Baron Blitzkreig has been one of my favorite villains since his first appearance this was his second and Sumo the Samurai intrigued me I forgot just how little Lois Lane and Steve Trevor are given to do though. The small continuity mistakes also stood out to me the Earth 2 Clark and Lois would have been working at the Daily Star not the Daily Planet under editor George Taylor not Perry White Not a huge deal but still. Regardless this was a fun trip down nostalgia lane Still love the story and the art as much as I did when I read the original comic All New Collectors Edition Superman vs Wonder Woman I first read this as a young boy when it originally came out in the late 1970s. I had fond memories of it and was a little nervous to read it again as I was afraid the actual story wouldn t hold up to my memory of it But enjoy it again I did The art and Story hold up very well and the fight scenes between the two though brief are well done.

.. The bad guys are poorly thought out characters that seem a Conway afterthought to work his message in, The Lopez illustrations are outstanding though Adkins inks dull the art a bit: The brighter colors and pristine paper makes the action pop and Jose Luis Garcia Lopez s pencils are always a joy: Basically Supetman and Wonder Woman have drastically different opinions on the idea of the United States having an atomic bomb The story works as does the resolution
