Superman/Wonder Woman: Power Couple by Charles Soule

Superman Wonder Woman Power Couple
Soule does a fantastic job of weaving in the story and plot from both Geoff Johns' Justice League and Brian Azzarello's Wonder Woman into a new storyline focusing on the relationship issues of the appropriately named "Power Couple." Readers new to these characters might find some segments a bit jarring without having first read the Justice League series by Johns, but fans of any of the Justice League characters should be just fine. Soule's take on the take-charge Diana, who rightfully thinks of herself as a goddess and refreshingly has no self-confidence issues when it comes to men, is long past due. Even Superman has more appeal than his usual goodie-goodie, small-town farm boy persona generates. This pairing of Superman and Wonder Woman is perfectly suited for the restart of the DC Universe and is an invigorating change from the usual Superman and Lois Lane match - even if this "Power Couple" doesn't last. The artwork by Daniels is superb as always and makes this tale near perfect.

Ultimately, this is a fun, romantic twist on the traditional superhero fare. But don't worry, there's still plenty of epic action scenes to satisfy all superhero fans.
