Wonder Woman 2011 29

If the helmet fits...then it's time to play God.

Wonder Woman returns to Paradise Island, and she's in for a surprise: The Amazons have chosen a new queen to lead them!

Diana returns to Paradise Island for the first time since the Amazons were wiped out...but do those ancient stones hold the answers she's looking for?

Wonder Woman has been shot through the heart--by the Lord of the Underworld himself, who wants the Amazon for his bride! It's up to Lennox to pull his half-sister out of hell!

As her duties as God of War draw Wonder Woman into battle, the Cheetah resurfaces to strike!

It's the grand finale of the historic WONDER WOMAN epic by writer Brian Azzarello and artist Cliff Chiang! Saying more would spoil all the surprises--and there will be plenty!

With her people against her, Wonder Woman has left Paradise Island more uncertain of her intentions than ever before! And with only the mantle of God of War to turn to, she's challenged to give that up!

In its exploration of some of the most influential, popular, or critically acclaimed television dramas since the year 2000, this book documents how modern television dramas reflect our society through their complex narratives about prevailing economic, political, security, and social issues. Television dramas have changed since the turn of the 21st century—for the good, many would say, as a result of changes in technology, the rise of cable networks, and increased creative freedom. This book approaches the new golden age of television dramas by examining the programs that define the first 15 years of the new century through their complex narratives, high production value, star power, popularity, and enthusiastic fan culture. After an introduction that sets the stage for the book's content, thematic sections present concise chapters that explore key connections between television dramas and elements of 21st-century culture. The authors explore Downton Abbey as a distraction from contemporary class struggles, patriarchy and the past in Game of Thrones and Mad Men, and portrayals of the "dark hero protagonist" in The Sopranos, Dexter, and Breaking Bad, as a few examples of the book's coverage. With its multidisciplinary perspectives on a variety of themes—terrorism, race/class/gender, family dynamics, and sociopolitical and socioeconomic topics— this book will be relevant across the social sciences and cultural and media studies courses.
