Retro TV Rewind: Wonder Woman (1976 - 1979) | Starring Lynda Carter

Image
 Written By Ken Hulsey Lynda Carter will forever be remembered for her four-year run as the Amazonian goddess-turned-freedom fighter known as "Wonder Woman" on prime-time American television. The tall, buxom actress of Native American and Hispanic descent was the perfect fit to portray the character who first appeared in DC comics in the 1940s. As the former Miss World-USA 1973, Carter's presence on the show seemed destined for television success.

DC Comics Is Killing Off The Justice League!

Image
From DC Comics The Death of the Justice League is only the beginning of the story. Superstar writer Joshua Williamson (BATMAN) and artist Rafa Sandoval (THE FLASH) bring you the beginning of the next big DCU event starting in JUSTICE LEAGUE #75, available at local comic book shops and participating digital retailers on April 19! “We've been building to the Death of the Justice League for the last year across the main line,” said Williamson. “I remember buying DEATH OF SUPERMAN 30 years ago and now we have an opportunity to take that idea and go bigger with it. JUSTICE LEAGUE 75 allows us to showcase why the Justice League are comics' greatest heroes as we show the aftermath of the loss against their biggest threat ever and its impact on the DCU.” A new Dark Army made up of the DCU’s greatest villains has formed on the edges of the Multiverse and the best and most powerful heroes are pulled together in an epic war to push the darkness back. In the end, the Justi...

Wonder Woman 2011 - From the Vault of Failed Television Shows

Image
Six years before Gal Gadot became Wonder Woman actress Adrianne Palicki donned the satin tights in a pilot for a TV series produced by Warner Bros for NBC. The makers of the program, writer David E Kelley and director Jeffery Reiner wanted to take the character in a totally new direction by making her a lot more like Batman or Wolverine and a lot less like the traditional Wonder Woman that the fans had loved for decades.  In other words a badass Wonder Woman. The pilot episode scored so poorly with test audiences the show was scrapped entirely. From the footage that is out there it is easy to see why.  My Favorite part of that second clip is when Wonder Woman lassoes a woman, drags her down a hallway, picks her up off the grand and slams her against the wall like Darth Vader.  Interestingly enough there is a contingency of fans who view the show as the Wonder Woman series that should have been made. Obviously there are fans of a grittier style of Wonder Woman w...

Wonder Woman: An Angel In A World Of Darkness

Image
Written By: Ken Hulsey I honestly feel bad that it has taken me over a week to post my review of Wonder Woman . I guess that it has taken me this long to be able to get my thoughts together. It also doesn't help that I work a full-time job, run a successful internet business along with three popular web sites ... well actually four now including this one. I know, I'm just lazy. Anyway, after a request from my dear friend Tim Knight over at HeroPress (and some gentle prodding from my dear wife Terri) I have cleared my calendar in honor of writing this long overdue review. Let's just cut to the chase, I loved this movie! I mean I really loved it. To really punctuate the point, I'm going to refer to the initial Facebook post I made immediately after leaving the theater, and I quote (myself): " Wonder Woman was an amazing film. In my opinion, the best superhero film I've ever seen. Such an intense spiritual message ... it really touched my soul. I still hav...

Great Classic Comics: Justice League of America #143

Image
Here is a great bronze age classic from way back in 1977. Anytime you have Wonder Woman swinging on Superman you know that it's worth the read to find out why. Justice League of America #143 (1st Series 1960) June 1977 DC Comics Grade VF - $18.99 @ Atomic Robot From DC Comics "Am I on trial? "My side" of it is that ever since I asked the Justice League to monitor my performance and make sure I was fit for duty, you've been doing it-- Including all the time since I was supposedly certified fit! No! I am always on trial, and I'm sick of it! Yes, I've been riding Green Arrow and Flash! Oliver Queen is a loud-mouthed know-it-all, and Barry Allen is a closet male chauvinist!" — Wonder Woman Wow, sounds like Wonder Woman has been harboring some resentment against her fellow male heroes. If you had been reading the prior issues of Justice League you would have known that this had been brewing for some time.  Something about Wonder Woman hadn't been quit...
