Now this, I've never read before.

I also don't have any idea what's happening right now

...

...

This fucking crosshatching

...

And the Queen of Hair herself appears!

She sure knows how to pick 'em.

>I know he's a lord of evil and suffering who enslaves women but he's really a nice guy! You just don't understand the nature of our relationship!

Now this is what I call a "power fantasy"

I didn't think anything with Wonder Woman in it could be more 90's than the Deodato run, but here we are.

Thighs thiccer than torso: check

>doubting 90s Benes

...

...

He is a Sup Forums favorite for a reason, I suppose.

...

Relevant

The demon-punching action continues!

Back from the dead, and pissed

Guess these guys' names:
>Shootgunner
>Chainlock

No wait, his name should be Cables, no relation

Artemis is the 90s.

...

Pretty nice bondage panels tho

...

Diana = loving bondage
Artemis = rough bondage

...

Politically relevant?

>Artemis vs. The KKK

Isn't this like the currently longest consistently running comic volume still going?

>she's cute, let's torture and kill her instead of just killing her

Yes Longest big two comic without renumbering. RIP hellblazer and fables.

The fuck is this

Byrne moved Diana to "Gateway City", which is the made-up city she sometimes operated in in the Silver Age.

"Anywhere" isn't an answer, Diana

Cyberella is an American comic book series first published in 1996 as part of the short-lived DC Comics imprint, Helix. The title was initially scheduled to be an ongoing monthly, but, owing to poor sales figures for both it and the Helix line generally, was cancelled after twelve issues in 1997. Written by Howard Chaykin and drawn by Don Cameron the title has been variously described as a techno-satire and a populist cyberpunk dystopia.

Oh, Helix, that I know about. I guess they changed the name from Matrix.

...

So this guy is a Belmont?

COMIC URBAN LEGEND: DC had to change the name of their Helix line of comic books because of the Shadowrun role playing game.

STATUS: False

When DC announced the name of their new science fiction and science fantasy line of comic books (that notably featured Warren Ellis and Darick Robertson’s Transmetropolitan) back in 1996, the name of the line was the Matrix. However, there also grew a significant scuttlebutt that it, instead, had to do with the Shadowrun role playing game, which included a Matrix of their own. Reader Richard Rittenhouse explains:

The story that I heard at the time was that the change was prompted by FASA, the publishers of the SHADOWRUN pen-and-paper role playing game. In the game, there was a virtual reality cyberspace called the “Matrix”, and the publishers had supposedly trademarked the term.

Yes, that’s pretty much what happened. Given the way things change all the time in Hollywood, I was just glad when THE MATRIX film actually came out, under that name, and was a hit. At least that justified all the last-minute hell of changing our imprint name. I remember, at the time, being sure that years later I’d go to the theater and they’d have changed the movie’s title to “THE LATTICE,” or something. That would have been too much.

Interesting. But definitely they couldn't trademark a word as generic as "matrix".

HOLY SHIT

I know right. trademarkia.com/matrix-73769710.html

That was probably the fastest turnaround from the introduction of a new character to them being revealed as an evil traitor I've ever seen.

Artemis one-ups that bitch from 50 Shades of Gray

BRB coffee

Demons out of fucking nowhere.
Watch Artemis ruin a superhero team literally the day she joins it, that's impressive.

...

Oof. Went to the local BIG-BOOKSTORE to check out their renovated "graphic novel" section. Lots of nice oversized things, but little Wonder Woman. They did have several "Wonder Woman by Mike Deodato" copies

This looks cool

Let's hope that means people are just buying everything up

Isn't that just the Punisher's costume?

LOL

...

Posting just for the hilarious Judge Batman face

Leading to the best JLA run. Nice

Largest thing there should have been the Sandman Absolute vol.4 that was chilling on the top of the shelf, but it was absolutely dwarfed by some Marvel Avengers "Adamantium Edition" thing that I didn't bother to even look at (seriously huge).

It looks like a pretty crummy collection because it's just pieces of completely disparate, unconnected runs, when you could just get the actual omnis for those entire runs.

It's like you're paying a premium price for a sampler.

I like Artemis' "watching a video" pose.

Also note that she is still standing on her tiptoes

Yep, wrong Metal. I found a funny picture of a guy holding it. The price is for the size, not the contents:

Fucking Artemis

...

TENTACLES

This proves KISS turns people into Satanists

I want the WML Wonder Woman stuff collected in an omnibus.

Same. It's only 38 issues altogether, including this mini.

I think if DC really wants to reverse the misconception that Wonder Woman "doesn't have any good stories", they really gotta push all these great runs from her history.

Yup it's Helix now

...

I like how unlike characters like Azrael and Eradicator, Artemis is still basically a good guy.

"Squeamish Flesh Shell" is the name of my band

Or maybe "A Thousand Painful Pleasures"

...

...

Intradasting

More tentacles!

>Demons... and the women who hunt them!
Why can't real life TV be as awesome as this?

...

...

That lady's skirt is way too short for broadcast television.

Maybe she's actually wearing a one-piece like Artemis

>STRIKT

Bayonetta-style Artemis game when?

Mai edgy waifu.

...

This one's for you, user

This is why I love her

Definitely got the legs and ass for it.
