About this deal

While Batman may have been enraged by her actions and wished for nothing more than to get his revenge, he still made sure to do the right thing and help protect her. This gives humanity a champion to protect them in the future, helping ensure their survival. In a way, Batman's choice to get over his own sense of vengeance helps ensure the survival of this world, even if he didn't get to see it. But it's also a decidedly tragic end for Batman, the ultimate defeat of the Dark Knight who could conquer any threat, with Batman just accepting his death and letting it come for him as he looked over the ruins of the city he protected. Frank Miller & John Romita Jr.'s Superman: Year One Arrives This June in Comic Shops With Collection in November" (Press release). DC Comics. March 15, 2019 . Retrieved June 24, 2019. Dead Earth” is human emotions and global fears rendered on an extreme scale. This has all been the story of what it means when you realize how terrible the world can be and your own capacity for destruction and how you decide to move on from that.

Wonder Woman: Dead Earth by Daniel Johnson, Hardcover Wonder Woman: Dead Earth by Daniel Johnson, Hardcover

The Unlikely Story of Felix and Macabber” w/ Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou & Juni Ba | CBH Interviews #114 September 26, 2023 And its not particularly well done, with art in the style of Paul Pope and a story reminiscent of Euro sci-fi. None of the DC superheroes shown seem to act in character. And for no given reason it limits the cast of the DC Universe, sort of ignoring the dozens of other heroes who probably would have been involved in the unlikely apocalyptic events outlined. I loved Daniel Warren Johnson's Murder Falcon, so I had high hopes for this. In the end it felt like some regular post-apocalyptic stuff but this time it had Wonder Woman's name on it, and that made it lesser. I always hate when the first thing that happens in some sci-fi/fantasy setting is female characters being abused, and boy oh boy that was certainly the first issue. Diana ends up hostage to the first man in the book and he is going to force her to be his "wife". She meets another character who implies a lot of abuse at his hands. I wish writers would leave this trope behind but hey if you're a man writing a 'dark' book you're obligated to do that, I guess. Breaking Ultimate Universe News at New York Comic Con! Children of the Vault! | CBH Live! October 20, 2023This take on an angry, hurting, and volatile Wonder Woman is one I love in theory, but in execution, it feels weak. I don’t know if having a woman write this story would’ve solved the issues I have with it...but it definitely wouldn’t have hurt. Johnson gives a solid attempt at doing something unique, and he succeeds in that he capitalizes on his setting, but he fails in his attempts to weave meaningful thematics. Now it’s not only humanity that Diana must question her trust in, but herself – who has become the cause of her own worst nightmare. If nothing else, it’s perfectly clear that Johnson understands Wonder Woman as a concept. She occupies a similar space to Superman (who does make an appearance, of a sort), in that she represents the best of us. An ideal to be striven towards. Unlike most incarnations of the man of steel, however, Diana is also deeply human and flawed, and the balance between these two sides is portrayed masterfully as the story plays out. Diana awakens from a centuries-long sleep to discover that the world of man has been ravaged by nuclear war, and it's up to her to defend the last remnants of humanity from the grotesque monsters that roam the wastelands.

Wonder Woman: Dead Earth

When Diana awakens from a centuries-long sleep, she discovers Earth has been reduced to a nuclear wasteland. Now she's marooned in a dark and dangerous future, protecting the last human city from titanic monsters and struggling to uncover the secret of this dead Earth…and how she may be responsible for it. Wonder Woman like you've never seen her before--fighting monsters in a postapocalyptic Earth, as brought to life in a daring sci-fi epic by visionary writer and artist Daniel Warren Johnson! Sequel Hook: In the final issue, Diana regains her full power and finds one of her gauntlets to keep her powers under control again. However, she needs to find the other one to activate the limiter, and she also vows to find her mother and make peace with her. Mike Spicer’s colors have the quality of hand painted animation cels, and he goes a long way to capture the tone of any scene he’s helping set. The desert wastes are composed of browns and oranges, highlighted with vivid crimsons when the action gets particularly visceral. Later in the story these earth tones give way to deep blues and grays when Diana and a few other characters are at sea looking for Themyscira. The Last God #1–12, The Last God: Tales from the Book of Ages #1 and The Last God: Songs of Lost Children #1Because Diana is made from the earth, she is forever linked to the world, even when it’s rejected by Hippolyta. And in being given incredible power, she is strong enough to make that world fragile.

Part of the reason this setting works so soundly is because Daniel Warren Johnson, who plays double duty as both author and artist, uses the harsh world to contrast and highlight Diana’s character brilliantly. The princess of Themyscira is both compassionate and brutally ruthless in combat. Relatively early in the story, she deposes the aforementioned dictator of this society of survivors, but she chooses not to kill him, instead jailing him and even offering him a chance to help her lead. In one particularly memorable scene while Diana is imprisoned by the people she thought would be her new allies, one of her captors incredulously questions a statement she makes about loving all of humanity, even when they betray her.Wonder Woman: Dead Earth is a grim and horrifying post-apocalyptic tale with a hero searching for hope and opportunities for redemption.
