![]() ![]() ![]() There's an issue in this volume called "Nothing Finished, Only Abandoned" which I think really sums up the entire collection. Skip to Rucka's Wonder Woman run during the Rebirth era. Then it all ends with a tie-in miniseries from Blackest Night that takes place years later and comes out of nowhere.Īll of these stories are actually pretty good within the bigger events, but without context and on its own as a book, it's a pretty ridiculous read. Then it doesn't get much better with an admirable but foolhardy attempt to bring the main story to a close within the context of Infinite Crisis. The book begins with major tie-ins to the Superman: Sacrifice storyline and The Omac Project, but none of the other issues from those books are included, so, if you don't have access to those other books, the first few issues feel like one big confusing mess of organic robots, fights with Superman, and an evil Maxwell Lord. Not because the main storyline is worse (it's much of the same), but because the run gets hijacked big-time by the big build-up to Infinite Crisis. This third and final installment in Rucka's first Wonder Woman run is probably the worst read of them all. ![]()

The editors of and contributors to God Is Change heighten our appreciation for the range and depth of Butler’s thinking about spirituality and religion, as well as how Butler’s work-especially the Parable and Xenogenesis series-offers resources for healing and community building. They explored, respectively, what happens during a divisive “cultural war” that unjustly impacts the disenfranchised, and the rise of a fascistic president, allied with white fundamentalist Christianity, who chants the slogan, “Make America Great Again.”īut religion, for Butler, need not be a restricting force.
