Wonder Woman is fast becoming my most anticipated and most dreaded New 52 title. Each month brings us closer to the grand finale of Brian Azzarello and Cliff Chiang's saga. It's tough to picture a New 52 without these two chronicling the adventures of Diana Prince. But at least issue #33 suggests that they'll be giving her the sendoff she deserves.
Not that this book has been all roses and sunshine before now, but the darkness creeps in even more in this issue as Diana finds herself a captive of the First Born and a forced witness to the devastating war between his army and the Amazons. Here is a conflict that Diana can't win with fists and swords and magic lasso. Only her cunning and wordplay can keep her alive. Luckily, cunning and wordplay are two of Azzarello's specialties. He crafts a terrific interplay between captor and captive, managing to paint the First Born as imposing, disgusting, and a little sad all at once.
