Diana has the powers of a demi-god but has compassion of human from her love with Clark which is touching.

I haven't been pleased with it since Tomasi took over, but I don't (and won't) dismiss it because Lois isn't Superman's girlfriend. Like you said, it makes sense for Superman and Wonder Woman to want to be together. Again, Eric and myself talked a bit on this week's podcast about the hate I got for just reviewing this book (not the score...just reviewing it) so I appreciate getting to talk to someone like yourself who was resistant to this book, but gave it a chance.Jim Wernerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12307419602315578911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8557726951171561616.post-85692863073764470132015-06-19T10:19:09.933-04:002015-06-19T10:19:09.933-04:00This issue is my first for the Superman/Wonder Wom...This issue is my first for the Superman/Wonder Woman series. I hadn't been interested in reading a title with them together until the Truth saga began after Convergence. I would rate it a bit higher than you have (6.5 to 7 maybe?), but I agree with you on the flaws you mentioned (Not much action, forced cliffhanger, etc.). But I was surprised to have enjoyed the chemistry between WW and Supes as much as I did. I'm one of those people who were resistant to the change of Clark's love interest from Lois to Diana. But it really does make more sense that the two "gods" would be want to be with each other. And now that the relationship has become asymetrical (in regard to powers) it will be interesting to see how that plays out. Also, although, as you mentioned, Mahnke wasn't given much to work with in the story, I enjoy his art enough to feel like it makes the issue worth while. I could look at a page of panels with just faces drawn by Mahnke. His work is brilliant.O. Douglas Jenningshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16821793924706435516noreply@blogger.com
