Episode #075: Wonder Woman: Challenge of the Gods
We revisit George Pérez’s redefinition of Wonder Woman with the second major arc, 1987’s “Challenge of the Gods.” In these pages, you’ll get to know Diana’s supporting cast better and find out how a hard-rebooted Wonder Woman fits into post-Crisis continuity; meet the Cheetah, a savage reimaging of one of the series’ most iconic villains; delve into an underground prison beneath Paradise Island swarming with mythological monsters; and learn the secret origin of why an Amazon warrior wears a costume that looks a bit like an American flag. It’s Wonder Woman vs. Greek mythology’s greatest hits, and Jim will explain all the historical and classics-based context that Justin did not pick up on repeated viewings of Clash of the Titans.
Discussed in this episode: Wonder Woman (vol. 2) #8-14.
