Thank you for the opportunities to read this book. I have attempted it on a number of occasions but unfortunately I haven’t been able to get into it.

'Wonder Woman '77 Meets the Bionic Woman' by Andy Mangels with art by Judit Tondora is a nostalgia graphic novel with the stars of two different shows of the 1970s.

Diana Prince and Jamie Sommers meet and realize they have some things in common, mainly stopping a group of evildoers. Amongst the villains: the Fembots. With Diana's home at risk, they must act quickly.

The art was pretty good and represented the actresses and actors fairly well.

The problem with a nostalgia book is the need to throw in lots of references. This can work if it's done well, but it really wasn't here. I would have preferred a better crafted story rather than one that served fans of the shows. There is a way to do both and I've seen it done better.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Dynamite Entertainment, Diamond Book Distributors, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.

I absolutely loved this!! Fans of these 1970's shows would get a kick out of this trip down memory lane, with Wonder Woman and Bionic Woman in one story. The artwork is amazing and the sci-fi story is fabulous!

While it has a lot of great '70s atmosphere, it lacks some story. I would perhaps only recommend this book for readers familiar with both Wonder Woman and the Bionic Woman.

I wanted to read this book SO MUCH. It seemed super interesting even though I don't know much about Jamie Sommers. It expired on Adobe Digital editions before I could finish though, so I mostly flicked through it. It seemed interesting, but it probably would have needed up a skim read as these sorts of books en up for me. If you like Jamie Sommers and Wonder Woman, you'll probably love this.

Wonder Women and the Bionic Women team up to fight evil in this 70s feel graphic novel. The authors tried to get the 70s so right that they forgot about the story. There is a lot of explanation and back stories that drag down the adventure. The art is OK and it tries and captures the style of the TV shows. For Fans only

Take two female television shows of the 1970's - Wonder Woman and Bionic Woman - and do a mashup of some of their villains and secret organizations so that they exist in the same universe. Now create a story line that requires that they interact to take down said villains. That is basically the plot of the book. The artists and writers do a good job of creating the feel and look of the shows and bond the two strong female leads while having a new villain masterminding behind the scenes. And that is part of the problem - the look and feel of 1970's TV, not always the greatest time or shows.

It was a little weird bringing together these two women, but it also seemed to work well as the TPB went.

They're (and their organizations) working together to go against a bunch of old villains as well as a group called Castra.

They also go up against some things called FemBots (some of which are confusingly male not female?)

And they also wind up on Paradise Island and meet some of the women Wonder Woman helped during the actual TV series and we get to see Drusilla go all Wonder Girl too.

It was a cool team-up and stuff like their banter was great.

And, heh, there's even a marriage/wedding that's talked about between two Amazons. Baby steps I guess.

I was given this ARC by Netgalley on behalf of Dynamite Entertainment.

Holy Captain Exposition Batman! There was so much exposition, this could almost be considered an illustrated novel instead of a graphic novel. Andy Mangels tries to bring any every single character from both shows and reference every episode, instead of just crafting a well told story. He even brings in all the characters from the first season of Wonder Woman which took place 30 years earlier during WWII before the show was retooled for modern (at the time) times.

Judit Tondora does a fabulous job of capturing the actors' likenesses. Her art made the mess of a story easier to digest.

A fun mashup of Wonder Woman TV series character with the bionic woman which will appeal to fans of those 1970s shows.

Ok - two things right off the bat.

Wonder Woman’s bracelets are made of feminum?

And when the Bionic Woman’s parents died, she moved in with her high school boyfriend?

Okay. Just making sure I have the facts right.

Some of it was a bit goofy - like 70s TV. And I like that the art kind of hails back to that time. And the Cat Staggs cover art was pretty fantastic.

Whoa! And the misogyny is rampant in the 70s!

Ha! They even use the Bionic Woman sound effects! I wasn’t even a regular watcher of the Bionic Woman (or Man) and I’ve used those sounds. There were times when I even heard the Wonder Woman music in my head.

Bigfoot reference! I remember commercials for the Bigfoot episodes of Bionic Woman/Man. (It was in both, wasn’t it?)

It’s interesting that it references so many of the old shows. It makes me wish I was more familiar with them. Though I watched Wonder Woman, I don’t really remember specific episodes; and I’m sure I didn’t see all of them. But whenever there is intrigue with too many villains and too many organizations, the story gets convoluted and I start to get lost. Does anyone else have that problem? I’m thinking I would have liked it more if it hadn’t been so tied to so many episodes; or if I had been a bigger fan way back when.

I thought there was a misspelling, but apparently <i>gamey</i> can also be spelled <i>gamy</i>. I love learning stuff from comics!

Favorite quote:

<i>Men do a lot of things that aren’t necessarily helpful.</i>

Yep. Know that from experience.

<i>Thanks to NetGalley and Dynamite Entertainment for a copy in return for an honest review.</i>

Two gorgeous women fight baddies - and more importantly, sexism - in this naff drama. Their biggest problem is keeping their identities and powers secret - oh, and sexism - so you really get fed up by the time the story turns into the problems of information coming out of Iraq. Oh, sorry - that's IRAC the computer. Yes, there is every scope for revisiting the '70s, but does it have to include all the '70s naffness and '70s cheese? The artwork would certainly deserve many stars, apart from the WonderWetsuit, but the story is just pants. If you want a better discourse on this kind of sexism, watch an Austin Powers title sequence - yes, this is that bad.

Wow! I absolutely loved this ! A trip down memory lane with Lynda Carter Wonder Woman and Bionic woman from the 70s . The artwork pops and the sci-fi story with fem bots is fabulous

Wonder Woman and Bionic Woman in one comic series is pure epic. Imagine these legendary female superheroes joining forces to fight villains will undeniably delight comic enthusiasts. I also love how Bionic Woman was turned into a honorary member of the Amazons in the Paradise Island. When the replay of the TV series of Bionic Woman was shown on a local TV channel in my country during the 90's, I had the chance to watched several episodes of. Hence, I also know Bionic Woman's abilities and her origin.

On the other hand, I wasn't able to watched any episode of the Wonder Woman TV series; thus I didn't have any slight idea of who she really is and where she came from. Just recently, I had read a novel about Wonder Woman and thanks to that, I'm no longer ignorant about her.

However, this comic series of Andy Mangels is the second print material that I'd read about Wonder Woman; I also had a great time reading it and would recommend it to anyone.

A fun tale by someone who clearly knows and loves the characters, this story brings together for the first time two 1970s adventure TV stars, Wonder Woman (as played by Lynda Carter) and the Bionic Woman (as played by Lindsay Wagner). Unlike some crossovers, it gets the two together quickly without the usual misunderstandings and conflicts, so they can work together to take on a complicated plot that brings together villains and plotlines from both of the TV shows. They have some fun banter about things like secret identities along the way.

Diehard fans may get the most out of this, but I haven't seen either show since the 1970s and had a fine time.

This totally took me back to my childhood when my favourite TV shows were Wonder Woman and the Bionic Woman (wait….does that age me?) I saw this and knew I had to read it. I mean, Wonder Woman and Jaime Sommers teaming up – this was the crossover episode that I never knew I needed.

As you can tell by the cover, this is a comic book. (Duh!) It was a really fun read.

The art is very impressive. The characters look like they did back in the day. The back story of the characters is explained (for those who didn’t see the original TV shows).

The story was engaging, the graphics were great. This was a delight to read. This will satisfy both old school fans of the shows (like me) and will hopefully engage a new generation of fans.

I rated this 4/5 stars on Goodreads.

Full disclosure: I received this eARC from NetGalley for a fair and honest review. (Thanks NetGalley!)

Two of my favorite super heroes from the 70s make a fantastic team-up in this graphic novel. These 3 strong female leads show true girl power as they battle mysterious fembots and a mysterious foe.

Fans of both shows will get to see several familiar faces. And their adventures even take them to Paradise Island. My favorite aspect of these stories is the incredible artwork. Diana and Jaime look just like Lynda Carter and Lindsay Wagner. And the secondary characters are easy to distinguish as well. The story is well-paced with plenty of action and intrigue. I will definitely be reading the rest of these homages to 70s series.

Confession: I've never watched either of the shows this book is based on. Getting into both is on my to-do list and after reading this book, that's even more true.

Prior knowledge of these programs is not required. to enjoy this and I enjoyed quite a lot. I've read a lot of these intercompany crossovers between DC and TV properties from the 1960s and70s.. This, by far, is the story that I enjoyed the most.

It avoids several tropes (no "superhero" battle between our protagonists) and it makes short shrift of Diana Prince's secret identity so that these two character can get to know each other, team up, and kick tale. Both are likable and fun characters to read. The art is gorgeous and vivid providing a nice almost painted feel to it.

The story itself is a typical yarn leading to Diana Prince and Jamie Sommers fictional top secret organizations to pool resources and thus they meet and go off to fight the bad guys, even taking a trip to Paradise Island where Jamie is most welcome.

The book does have a few portions that are backstory and consequently dialog heavy, particularly as the villains lay out who they are, but that's to be expected with these events.

Overall, this was a lot of fun and might even more so for those who are fans of the series.

****I received a free digital copy of this book in exchange for an honest review from Net Galley****

I feel like I can sum up this book with a line from it:
"They’re fembots, not mere robots! I would think that the difference would not be lost on you."

If you know the original shows (I will admit to knowing Wonder Woman better than I know the Bionic Woman), you know they weren't quite as campy as Adam West's Batman, but also weren't as serious or dark as the comic book shows of today. This book is definitely a treat for those of us who grew up on these shows. How that will translate for younger readers, who are used to darker comics, I don't know.

We find our heroes working together, battling villains that they had previously fought separately. For those who aren't obsessive enough to know every episode or book, they do recap those prior encounters (also an editor's note will tell you which episode or book that encounter took place in).

The artwork is really good, though I found the Wonder Woman / Lynda Carter art just a wee bit more identifiable but that tends to happen in books that base the art on a real people we all "know".
