Book: Wonder Woman volume #1 by George Pérez
Description:
Once upon a time, the world’s greatest heroine was reimagined by a comic book legend.
More than forty years after debuting in ALL STAR COMICS #8, the Wonder Woman was reshaped by the legendary George Pérez and returned to the public eye in 1986. She was met with such acclaim that Pérez’s original commitment of six months was extended, and extended, until almost five years had passed. In collaboration with co-writer Len Wein and inker Bruce Patterson, Pérez spearheaded Wonder Woman’s adventures for years, leading her to an unprecedented level of success.
Now these groundbreaking tales are available in the first of a series of trade paperbacks, collecting WONDER WOMAN #1-14 with bonus material including a Who’s Who of Wonder Woman’s world and an art gallery.
TV Show I Want to Rewatch:
Firefly
I haven't watched Firefly is quite a while. It's one of those really good shows that got cancelled way too soon. What I like is that thanks to constant fan interest in the show, a big screen movie Serenity would later get released a few years after Firefly was cancelled. Not many cancelled shows ever get a movie let alone one that's really good. But I'm glad this one did. Anyway, I really like Firfly and I just want to watch this short lived series again.
Starring: Nathan Fillion, Gina Torres, Alan Tudyk, Morena Baccarin, Adam Baldwin, Jewel Staite, Sean Maher, Summer Glau, Ron Glass and more
Description:
Five hundred years in the future, a renegade crew aboard a small spacecraft tries to survive as they travel the unknown parts of the galaxy and evade warring factions as well as authority agents out to get them.
