But, not surprisingly, it all goes wrong (this being part 5 of the inevitable 6-part arc).  Mark Millar&#8217;s story is appropriately bloody, but Romita, Jr.&#8217;s art is again too blocky.\n<li><em>Wonder Woman<\/em> #215-217 (DC):  Obeying Athena, the new queen of Olympus, the still-blind Diana leads a party down into Tartarus.  But can even she succeed Hades, Poseidon, and Zeus?  Well, if she had a secret ally with a lot to gain from it, perhaps so &#8230;  Rucka wraps up a bundle of loose plot threads, just in time for &#8230;<\/p>\n<li><em>Wonder Woman<\/em> #218-219 (DC):  OMAC Project cross-overs, especially the latter.  We finally get to see who&#8217;s a better fighter, Superman or Wonder Woman &#8212; as well as who&#8217;s better able to act when need be.  Pretty good stuff.<\/p>\n<li><em>Astonishing X-Men<\/em> #11 (Marvel):  Prof. X battles, physically and mentally, with the newly-self-aware and mobile Danger Room.  It looks like it may be defeated &#8230; until you notice we&#8217;re not at #12 yet, so the TPB collection would not be complete.  Which explains why things get apparely very bad, very quickly, at the end.<\/p>\n<li>Year One: Batman\/Ra&#8217;s al Ghul #1 (DC):  Victim of an automatic cross-over pool, dagnabbit.  The now-dead Ra&#8217;s seems to be extracting revenge (in between his origin flashbacks) by preventing anyone in Gotham from dying &#8230;  Clusy story by Devin Grayson, clumsy art by Paul Gulacy.<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Insert witty comments here.)&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","_seopress_robots_follow":"","_seopress_robots_imageindex":"","_seopress_robots_snippet":"","_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_robots_breadcrumbs":"","_seopress_robots_freeze_modified_date":"","_seopress_robots_custom_modified_date":"","_seopress_robots_canonical":"","_seopress_social_fb_title":"","_seopress_social_fb_desc":"","_seopress_social_fb_img":"","_seopress_social_fb_img_attachment_id":0,"_seopress_social_fb_img_width":0,"_seopress_social_fb_img_height":0,"_seopress_social_twitter_title":"","_seopress_social_twitter_desc":"","_seopress_social_twitter_img":"","_seopress_social_twitter_img_attachment_id":0,"_seopress_social_twitter_img_width":0,"_seopress_social_twitter_img_height":0,"_seopress_redirections_value":"","_seopress_redirections_enabled":"","_seopress_redirections_enabled_regex":"","_seopress_redirections_logged_status":"","_seopress_redirections_param":"","_seopress_redirections_type":0,"_seopress_analysis_target_kw":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[13,11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7818","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blogathon","category-media-comics"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":15418,"url":"https:\/\/hill-kleerup.org\/blog\/2009\/07\/26\/bt09-hey-kids-the-last-of-the-comics-blogathon.html","url_meta":{"origin":7818,"position":0},"title":"BT09 &#8211; Hey, Kids!
