Going ...Yes, it's both before and after Trial.<br /><br />Going from the collected edition's contents, it collects the Bana-Mighdall backups that were running in Wonder Woman during the final lead-up to the event. Definitely essential as a prelude.<br /><br />The rest of the one-shots are set afterward and further explore the fallout while setting up the recent Nubia mini-series and other ongoing developments the main WW book's slowly starting to get to.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-13897759032675960832022-11-01T09:02:30.042-05:002022-11-01T09:02:30.042-05:00It's mostly set after Trial of the Amazons, bu...It's mostly set after Trial of the Amazons, but it will include the backups from Wonder Woman #781-784, which are set before the crossover.

It also aligns with a lot of the thematic setup from Afterworlds (you'll understand what I mean after reading Vol. 3).<br /><br />I do like that they've put Psycho back into focus during their run (even if it was to tie into his role in the Harley HBO series).<br /><br />The new Nubia mini-series also introduced a great new villain I hope sticks around, too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-69516150966396421432022-10-26T21:21:57.174-05:002022-10-26T21:21:57.174-05:00Fingers crossed for that movie!Fingers crossed for that movie!collectededitionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14698269790653953645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-20777681644295015332022-10-26T21:21:36.127-05:002022-10-26T21:21:36.127-05:00Well, I was not too keen on Cloonan and Conrad'...Well, I was not too keen on Cloonan and Conrad's first Wonder Woman volume, but your run-down of the next couple volumes does make me a little more optimistic.collectededitionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14698269790653953645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-90206286470724446392022-10-25T16:07:45.889-05:002022-10-25T16:07:45.889-05:00Nice to see Beetle book 2 coming out next year.

Since Batman/Superman is on here, I'll say I'm going to that I'm not that thrilled by Batman vs Robin and B/S being in HC - I'm really unsure about Lazarus Planet and having to read HCs to find out about it will not help.

I only read Williamson's run as it was a vital component of Snyder's Perpetua/Dark Multiverse epic (and I agree it should've just been a mini-series rather than an ongoing title).<br /><br />But the new World's Finest is Waid's grand return to monthly DC (after short stories here and there throughout 2021). So I cautiously gave it a try and I'm glad I did.<br /><br />It's neo-Silver Age, but it's great and loads of fun. A decade away from DC hasn't dulled Waid's DC storytelling muscles; his voices for Bruce and Clark are probably the best they've been written together as a team since Loeb.<br /><br />(The first arc's also mandatory reading as the prelude for the Batman vs. Robin event.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
