Everything and the kitchen sink isn't always the best way to tell a story, even if you love the worlds.

Pretty awesome crossover series featuring Wonder Woman (drawn as Lynda Carter from the 1970s show) and the Bionic Woman (drawn as Lindsay Wagner from the 1970s show). I like the illustration style fine, and this was so much fun to read! I am approaching this from a being a big Wonder Woman fan (comics, cartoons, TV, movies) so I apologize if any Bionic Woman fans feel this is a skewed review.
I imagine the illustrator having a blast with all the
THUTT BRAKKAMM DEENEENEENEE SMEK TEK TEK FWOOSH KRASH
BREEEEEER KRONK TKKSSSHH WEEEPO WEEPO THUNT VLLLEP
RROOONK SHHHSHHCKK
I know I loved it. Sometimes you just need a good BREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER to cheer your day up!
For every time there was cliched villain dialogue like "our long awaited revenge is close at hand," there was a FOMP, BAWOOP BLATZ or DEENEENEENEENEE to liven things up.
And Drusilla is in the book! At one point, Diana reminds her "I've told you that men do things that aren't necessarily helpful"
This would be great for Wonder Woman or Bionic Woman fans, and overall was an extremely entertaining read. Loved it!

Ok - two things right off the bat.
Wonder Woman‰ЫЄs bracelets are made of feminum?
And when the Bionic Woman‰ЫЄs parents died, she moved in with her high school boyfriend?
Okay. Just making sure I have the facts right.
Some of it was a bit goofy - like 70s TV. And I like that the art kind of hails back to that time. And the Cat Staggs cover art was pretty fantastic.
Whoa! And the misogyny is rampant in the 70s!
Ha! They even use the Bionic Woman sound effects! I wasn‰ЫЄt even a regular watcher of the Bionic Woman (or Man) and I‰ЫЄve used those sounds. There were times when I even heard the Wonder Woman music in my head.
Bigfoot reference! I remember commercials for the Bigfoot episodes of Bionic Woman/Man. (It was in both, wasn‰ЫЄt it?)
It‰ЫЄs interesting that it references so many of the old shows. It makes me wish I was more familiar with them. Though I watched Wonder Woman, I don‰ЫЄt really remember specific episodes; and I‰ЫЄm sure I didn‰ЫЄt see all of them. But whenever there is intrigue with too many villains and too many organizations, the story gets convoluted and I start to get lost. Does anyone else have that problem? I‰ЫЄm thinking I would have liked it more if it hadn‰ЫЄt been so tied to so many episodes; or if I had been a bigger fan way back when.
I thought there was a misspelling, but apparently gamey can also be spelled gamy. I love learning stuff from comics!

Yep. Know that from experience.

This is so wonderful and pure, a perfect pick-me-up with the political bullshit we're in.

I really liked this comic!!!
The main subject is Sisterhood, which is awesome.
It tells the story of how Diana Prince and Jaime Sommers join forces to fight against the evil CASTRA and its members; two strong, beautiful and smart female working together it is really nice to see.
The characters are described so that even a person who has no knowledge of the comic can follow the story but it also made some reference to previous editions.
I was really enthusiastic to read a story of such an strong females written by a male author, is something I haven't read before but when I search for the author bio I discovered that Andy Mangels is homosexual, obviously he sees the woman with a different eye than an heterosexual male. This doesn't take away the greatest of the story obviously.
The illustrations of Judit Tondora, is worth to mention, are really good, I really enjoyed them.
My rating is 4.5/5

I absolutely loved this!! Fans of these 1970's shows would get a kick out of this trip down memory lane, with Wonder Woman and Bionic Woman in one story. The artwork is amazing and the sci-fi story is fabulous!

I wanted to read this book SO MUCH. It seemed super interesting even though I don't know much about Jamie Sommers. It expired on Adobe Digital editions before I could finish though, so I mostly flicked through it. It seemed interesting, but it probably would have needed up a skim read as these sorts of books en up for me. If you like Jamie Sommers and Wonder Woman, you'll probably love this.
