3.0
So.....I really wanted to like this. I am interested in the story - a strange new hero with some hidden identity and connection to our two heroes. Wonderstar has no clue who or what he is, but it doesn't take long for the secret to be revealed. And even Superman is suspicious!
The problem is, sadly, more than just one thing. First, the backstory is pretty slim, without much actually explained. And it all falls apart pretty easily. The villain is kinda half-assed. Second, the art is just not my cup of tea. Particularly the character design. I mean, check out the faces:
And honestly, I spent most of my time reading trying not to look up Wonder Woman's vagina. And wondering who thought it was a good idea to put someone with, shall we say, generaous cleavage into a fighting leotard that barely covers the nipples?
Seriously, the leotard on the cover is the modest version of what they drew in the issues.
I'd say 2.5 of 5 - I'll round up to three because I did enjoy the relationship between Diana and Clark Kent. Based on their set personalities, the contention between the two of them, and the issues they disagree on, make perfect sense.
