When it comes to comic book heroes, Wonder Woman is as iconic as Superman, Spider-Man, and Batman. But while most superheroes were made by comic book guys, Wonder Woman was created by a psychologist who also invented the lie detector.
This, however, is not the most interesting thing you’ll learn in The Secret History Of Wonder Woman (Knopf: hardcover, digital), an insightful and engaging tome by Harvard history professor Jill Lepore.
Funko have announced that they will release a new series of DC Comic Mystery Minis action figures in January.

The Walking Dead adventure game by Telltale is arguably one of the most engaging adventure games of the last few years. But what would’ve made that emotionally gripping game even better is if there had been a metal ball flying around the whole time, knocking into things.
I make no bones about the fact that the third season of The Walking Dead pissed me off. Watching two guys make stupid decisions because of their egos is not my idea of a good time. But while the aftermath of their idiocy continues for a while in The Walking Dead The Complete Fourth Season — which Anchor Bay are releasing on Blu-ray, DVD, and as a special limited edition Blu-ray — the second half goes in such a different direction that it’s renewed my hope for this show.
Over the years, there’s been a lot of bad movies based on good video games. And some of the worst have been animated. But Batman: Assault On Arkham — which Warner Home Video has released as a Blu-ray/DVD combo pack, on DVD, and digitally — bucks this trend by not only being a great ’toon based on a game, but by also being a great animated movie for Batman fans who don’t play the games that inspired it.
In The Amazing Spider-man 2 — which has just come out as a Blu-ray/DVD combo pack, a 3D Blu-ray/DVD combo pack, and on DVD — Harry Osbourne says that Peter Parker’s life is always complicated.
