I’m sure that Connor was a nice kid, but he never really got to grow up and become a very powerful fighter. He wouldn’t be able to face Edward in a true hand to hand fight and he can’t keep up with his speed. Edward Kenway has won his debut match on the blog, but will he be able to keep it up? Only time will tell! Edward Kenway wins.

Thor vs James Bond

Thor is the Prince of Asgard and he has vanquished many foes. His strength is far superior to James Bond’s and one good swing will end this battle in an instant. James Bond has never faced someone who was quite as strong as Thor and that was lucky for him. James Bond takes yet another loss with this battle. Thor wins.

Blastaar vs Thor


1176406-blake3
Blastaar is tough to be sure, but he won’t be able to take Thor down. Thor has mighty Mjolnir and he’s been through many battles. Thor can access the Odin Force within him and he can use his Berserker Rage to end the battle quickly. Blastaar is a very powerful Marvel villain in his own right, but he just won’t be able to overcome Thor. Thor wins.

Marth vs Peach


Oh dear, Marth
Marth is an impressive swordsman and one good slash will be enough to deal some serious damage. Peach may have her shadow abilities, but they just won’t be enough in this case. Marth is an experienced veteran and he’s been through a lot of tough spots in the past. His mastery over the sword will give him a significant advantage. Marth wins.

Thor vs Black Adam

This is a tribute to Thor The Dark World. Thor didn’t look as impressive as he should have looked. Black Adam is an impressive DC villain and his power is almost on par with Superman’s. Thor wont have enough speed to win this battle against one of DC’s highest tier fighters. Black Adam may not be an extremely popular yet, but this win could boost his rank. Black Adam wins.

Dio Brando vs Sonic

Sonic has the edge in speed and he’s obtained many power ups over the years. He has the 7 Chaos Emeralds and he can also transform into Darkspine Sonic. I don’t want to underestimate Dio Brando, but he just won’t have enough skills to win this round. Sonic massively speed blitzes him for the win and Dio Brando just won’t have any defense against him. Sonic is just far too skilled to lose this round. Sonic wins.

Stranger vs Silver Surfer

The Stranger is back and now he’s up against the Silver Surfer. The Silver Surfer is very powerful and while he’s not quite as powerful as Thor, he’s still a very powerful opponent. The Stranger can fire immensely powerful energy blast, but so can the Silver Surfer! The Silver Surfer has the Power Cosmic and he can use his speed to evade the Stranger and take the win. Silver Surfer wins.

Wonder Woman Rumble in the Rainforest Review

9781434219923

This is the first Wonder Woman book that I’ve read from the DC novel series and unfortunately, I can’t say that it had a great start. The book has several villains and the threat is very real as our hero(s?) head out to fight one of the toughest mechs alive! How could this book not epicly succeed!?

The plot involves Wonder Woman as she sees a suspicious character and quickly realizes that the wildlife is in danger. The book goes into more detail so that this whole thing makes sense, but all that you need to know is that she’s after the villain. He’s a rich person who is basically protected by society since nobody can prove that he’s guilty. Well, Wonder Woman’s going to find some evidence and take him to prison! Things take an unexpected twist when she sees Gorilla Grodd and Poison Ivy duking it out. Can she defeat both of them or win them over to her side to fight the rich guy and his powerful mech?

The plot technically sounds exciting, but I don’t care for Gorilla Grodd and Poison Ivy. They’re hardly my favorite villains and their abilities are nothing special either. Wonder Woman should realistically be able to beat them with one punch and then take out the mecha with one punch as well. Unfortunately, that is not exactly how the fight went down.

It’s hard to explain why the book wasn’t so fun. It lacked the enjoyment that the other DC novels bring to the table and there were no real fight scenes. The Giant Mecha shouldn’t have been able to give her a decent fight and he’s just soooo slow. The ending was also extremely cheesy. I don’t think that Wonder Woman was written very well. None of the characters were written very well, but Wonder Woman stood out. It’s hard to explain why she was written badly, but she just didn’t feel like Wonder Woman to me. It was almost like she was in her Diana Prince personality for the entire story.

Overall, this is definitely not the DC novel that I would recommend for you. It may have had heart and emotion, but it wasn’t well done. I’m sure that the next one will improve this as the villains were the main problem. That being said, the writing also needs to improve for the next novel. If you want to see some cool superhero action, I recommend Superman Brainiac Attacks.

Overall 5/10

Thor vs Collector


2043522-__collect_true_f
The Collector doesn’t usually fight, but he’s actually pretty menacing in his true form. His strength is considerable and he is able to give Thor a solid fight, but he’s definitely not going to win that battle. The Collector doesn’t have Thor’s combat experience and his power isn’t quite as high tier as Thor’s degree of strength. Thor wins.
