Merry Christmas, Wonder Woman, and Batman Teaser

Hi everybody. Welcome to the Pull List. First off I want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas. If anyone received any comic related presents, feel free to comment below. I'm hoping for a couple of Superman items that I've had my eye on, but if you don't mention it to anyone it is kinda hard to get them.

On to business. If you are not reading Wonder Woman right now then you are doing yourself a disservice. I think Gail Simone is one of the best writers in the business. To be completely honest, I haven't been as blown away by this title as I was hoping to be. That is until now. This is how I read my comics, from worse to best. I start off with something that I know is going to be craptastic and I go that way leading to the book I'm most excited about. Example: this week I started off with Hulk (anyone who thinks this is a good book is a liar) and for the first time ever I ended on Wonder Woman.

It all started with last month's Wonder Woman #26, the beginning of the "Rise of the Olympian" story line. The Secret Society created some sort of creature that would be able to fight the Justice League, only it went horribly wrong as things like this tend to do. It is believed that they created a god. How does one do that? I'm sure that Ms. Simone will fill us all in in due time. The creature calls itself Genocide, because according to it, "It is what I do." and it does it very well. Genocide's first encounter with the super-hero persuasion was of course Wonder Woman.
Let me tell you something, I have seen Diana escape some close calls before, I have seen her lose battles, but I have never ever seen this. Even when she fought a mind controlled Superman, courtesy of Max Lord, fails in comparison against this. She at least held her own against the Man of Steel. In fact, I WANT to see Superman fight this thing. Make it happen, Gail.
Issue 27 is basically the fallout from her fight with Genocide, with special appearances by Donna Troy and Wonder Girl. Also the gods are back from wherever they ran off to a few years ago. I had no idea that gods traveled in spaceships so I looked it up. Apparently, according to Scientology, they do. So it's good to be able to read about accurate descriptions. Zeus makes a promise to Athena about helping to restore the Amazons, but then he goes and has a conversation with Diana's mom and I'm thinking Zeus is a few lightning bolts shy of being a Greek god.
Anyways, I'm excited about this book again and it is now at the top of my reading list along with Captain America. Yeah, it's that good. I'm interested in hearing what everyone else thinks of the current arc.

In other news......did everyone see that Batman teaser image? Holy flippin' cow!
