Amazons attack Miss Gulch

Phillipus and Artemis share a lookI've now read Amazons Attack! issues #2 and #3 and I think I've found the golden nugget in this series. It's Phillipus and Artemis, Hippolyta's top generals and leaders of the Amazon attack on the U.S. These two clearly need their own series. I'd certainly buy it. I've already been led into buying a half dozen tie-in titles just to follow this attack story, so why not one more?

The Amazons Attack! series continues to confuse me with its witting and unwitting camp references. At the end of issue #2, when it was announced that all of Kansas was on fire (because of the attack!), it took me a full minute to remember that Kansas was Clark Kent's boyhood home, even with a helpful illustration showing Superman flying over fields of corn. My first thought was, "It's not just those dykey Amazons attacking, they've got all the friends of Dorothy in Oz riled up, too. They're striking back at Miss Gulch!"

Well, once they're done with it, it won't be Kansas anymore....
