duc's nest

After moving in August, I now live near the biggest public library in Montreal. And they have a pretty big collections of (american) comics, in English even (like many people, if I speak the original language translations grates).

So I've been reading a lot of stuff and I realised yesterday that with my brand new camera i can take pictures of relevant passages and share my reaction.

First one: Wonder Woman: The Circle, by Gail Simone, Terry Dodson, Bernard Chang.

The scene starts like this: Diana and Special Agent Tom Tresser have a potencial something going on, they're both definitely interested. Diana comes to visit him in his hospital room and asks him omminous questions such as "Are you, at the moment, sound of mind?" and gives him tokens ( a nectarine pit pendant and a bracelet).

of course he asks what's going on, and she says:



I'm courting you in the manner of my people!

So many things in that little line. Explicite aknowledgment that Amazones form romantic relationships amongs themselves, explicite stating that the amazones have rituals and traditions regarding relationships, the fact that diana wants to follow those customes instead of adopting the traditions of the heterosexual America.:) That made my day.

But it gets better.

After a few pannels Tresser finally remembers a little fact:



Now everyone who think he's going to either ask if they really court as in I-want-to-have-sex-with-you- and all or just boggle at the warrior women dating and fucking raise your hand.


here's what he actually says:



"Does all this stuff still count with a guy involved?"

Agent Tresser, you just sold me on your character.
