For three pages, Wonder Woman has good art. In their all-knowing wisdom, DC only had Carlos Rodriguez do three pages. The first part is by Rich Buckler, who’s not terrible, just not even mediocre. But the last part, by Tim Smith III, is absolutely hideous. I wonder if they were willy-nilly hiring artists, trying to make the issue a mess, since Roy Thomas’s script doesn’t deserve good art, much less publication.
Thomas’s script, full of casual sexism and atrocious expository dialogue, is one of the worst things I’ve read in a while. My favorite moment is when Silver Swan calls herself something 2.0. Now, since the story’s set in 1983, is just a dumb anarchism or is Thomas giving Swan credit for that catchphrase (based, presumably, on DOS releases).
Oh, I forgot how he kills her because she’s ugly.
It’s crap. Thomas probably can’t write grocery lists.
