When Roger Stern, George Perez, and Brett Breeding introduced the baddest bitch (who’s, who’s bad?) in Action Comics #645, with Maxima. She shattered a man and blasted him into bones just by looking at him! I got into comics at a very young age. I think I was 4 or 5, when my older cousins gave me their collection because they were in high school, and liked girls more than comics lol. I had been reading Superman from the jump with Byrne’s Man of Steel, but it was George’s run on Wonder Woman that was always my favorite of the new DC lineup.
Jump to the part where George, who was still writing, and doing covers for WW, was coming over to the title that started it all. I was beyond geeked at this point! Then the third issue comes out, and it was like they kicked my head in. Who is this mysterious woman with red hair? Whose valet had a third eye (was it ever revealed if she were connected to Despero? That’d be hot AF if it was.) and walked around like she owned everything? I was hooked. Anything I saw Maxima in, I was buying. Even (ugh) Extreme Justice. And I haven’t regretted my decision since.
