Someone Needs To Send Meredith Finch An Air Ticket To Britain

Wonder-Woman-045-(2015)-(Digital-Empire)-010

We could start with "pretty brill". Or check the "bobbies" and wrong London buses from previous issues. Or how you can't have a glottal stop before the indefinite article in "bit o' a history buff" – if you are going to write it in this fashion it would be "bi' ovva history buff" or "histree" if you were really getting into it.

But while Meredith Finch is showing a better grasp on the Brian Azzarello Wonder Woman run than I was expecting to be integrated into this current series, the portrayal of London has lowered several notches into the tourist-friendly image of above, crossed with over-the-top television series from the seventies.
