Totally forgot to mention in yesterday's post the awesome flashback sequence by Melinda Gebbie. This series was definitely sticking to the format that worked with Supreme, and we get another flashback this issue. These are arranged through comics lying about in Gloria's apartment that are send-ups of the old Wonder Woman comics and the stories they told. Ms. Gebbie's art nicely characterizes the Golden Age tales in yesterday's issue. Today's flashback, by Matt Martin, is a little less apropos. While I love his covers on this series, I'm not sure his style fit what was meant to be a story from the weird superhero era of the 1950s. Instead of EC-style work, we get an Al Rio-esque romp, nicely told and amusing, but definitely not what comics in the 50s looked like. And, holy cats, are there a lot of just full-on panty shots.
And that's it for Glory. The story ends on a cliffhanger, and when we next see the character, she's living on an island, now separated from Gloria, and is discovered by a wandering teenager named Riley. And that series is fucking amazing.
We'll stick with the remnants of the Awesome Universe for a bit after this, I think.
More to follow.
