The Comprehensive Evolution of American Comics

Seeing that Yang Le didn't seem to be lying, Wonder Woman didn't say much more. After all, she knew the characteristics of the Lantern Rings. The power of the Red Lantern Ring was considered top-notch among all the colored Lantern Rings, and its domineering nature was self-evident. The host would be modified by the ring as soon as they came into contact with it, and it would never be worn on the wearer's hand without any movement like this.

Ignoring this little episode, the two turned their attention back to Circe and the girl named Troy.

Seeing this girl reconstructed from her mother's body, Diana's complex feelings can be imagined. This Valkyrie experienced confusion for the first time since her birth.

"I bet Superman's feelings when he saw Superboy weren't even half as complicated as you are now," Yang Le said, putting his hand on Wonder Woman's shoulder to comfort her. In fact, he was also complaining a little in his heart.

This girl named Troy, no matter how you look at it, should be the famous second-generation Wonder Girl, Donna Troy. The reason why Yang Le was able to recognize her at a glance was because this second-generation Wonder Girl was famous not because of her identity or beautiful appearance, but because of a topic that no superhero can avoid—origins.

The origins of famous superheroes generally have two or three, including the initial design and the later continuous updates or reboots. Donna is no exception, but her origins are really a bit too many.

How many? Roughly calculated, there are about fifteen, and these are the more famous ones. Some fans even think there may be more.

And the clay figure made from the fragments of Hippolyta's statue is one of Donna's origin stories. Coincidentally, in this origin, Donna's initial identity was a weapon to kill Wonder Woman, and Troy, who was bewitched by Circe, happened to coincide with this identity.

Although he guessed the girl's identity based on his knowledge of comics, it wasn't very useful, because Yang Le still knew nothing about Circe and the girl's whereabouts. The comics he had read could only give him foresight on the big picture, and Yang Le could only fumble around on these small matters.

Wonder Woman didn't have any ideas about Circe's whereabouts either. After thinking about it, the two decided to look for outside help. Dad's words were valuable; to defeat magic, you have to rely on magic. Of course, you have to ask a magician about the magician's whereabouts.

As a local, Diana took Yang Le non-stop to another place, and this place can definitely be called one of the most famous places in DC.

...

Lively but elegant music sounded, and well-dressed gentlemen and ladies walked in pairs on the red carpet into a huge theater. A huge sign was displayed at the entrance of the theater, with a huge photo printed on it. An old gentleman in a tuxedo and top hat was using his wise eyes to look at every guest who came.

Next to the sign, a passage was written in mysterious purple artistic font: The magician Giovanni Zatara will show you the true magic before your eyes. We will work together to swim in the ocean of magic.

The music began to become rapid, reminding everyone that the performance was about to begin. The guests couldn't help but quicken their pace to take their seats. After the seats were full, the lights in the theater went out, and the entire theater fell into darkness.

"Pa!"

Suddenly, a light hit the stage, but what was strange was that there was not even a person under the light, let alone the props that magicians usually use to perform or cover up their tricks.

Before the audience could feel strange, elegant music had already sounded. The musicians on both sides of the stage began to play the instruments in their hands. To everyone's surprise, notes actually floated out of the instruments.

The colors of the notes produced by each instrument were different. These colorful notes were like free birds, floating肆忌惮ly in the theater. The audience changed from shock at the beginning to curiosity, and many people even reached out to catch the notes.

Those notes were even more agile than birds. Not only did they avoid the hands that were trying to catch them, but they could even tease those viewers who were trying to do something wrong to them triumphantly.

Gradually, the music came to an end, and the notes began to converge towards the light in the center of the stage. The various colors of notes were like puzzles. In full view of everyone, those countless notes actually formed a man, who was the protagonist of this magic show, Giovanni.

Giovanni stretched out his hand and lightly tapped the last note that floated over. After the note expanded, it turned into a magic wand and landed firmly in Giovanni's hand. At this time, the music stopped just right, and Giovanni bowed smoothly.

The audience applauded spontaneously. This magical and novel way of appearing was something they had never heard of. Just this opening was worth the price of admission.

"Thank you, thank you, everyone." Giovanni stood up straight. "Welcome everyone to the Gotham Theater to watch my magic show. To thank you for your support, I will bring you the most unforgettable night."

Giovanni's voice was not loud, and he didn't carry any sound amplification equipment, but his voice was able to reach the ears of every guest clearly.

In the expectant eyes of all the audience, Giovanni smiled and took off his hat. He was going to use the most classic hat magic to start today's performance. This was Giovanni's favorite way to start, almost all of his performances started with hat magic, but unfortunately there may be an accident today.

"Bang!"

A deafening gunshot rang out, and Giovanni had to stop just as his hand reached into his hat. Unlike the panic that the audience showed at first, Giovanni's expression actually carried a hint of helplessness.

'Gotham never lets me down.' Giovanni muttered to himself.

"Robbery!" A man wearing a clown mask stood at the last aisle of the auditorium. Although the light was dim, it was not difficult for everyone to see that there were many shadows behind him. They should be his accomplices. A strong man in a suit was lying at the feet of the masked man. It seemed that he should be the security personnel for this performance. The red carpet under the strong man in the suit was more enchanting than other places. It was obviously stained with blood.

"Ah!!!!"

As soon as the scream sounded, the clown-masked man pulled the trigger again. The loud gunshot covered up the scream, and then he pointed the gun at the woman who had just screamed the loudest and threatened.

"I spared you because I thought you were a hostage. If you dare to scream again, I will definitely kill you."

The theater fell silent again, just like when the performance started. The masked man nodded in satisfaction and waved his hand. Immediately, many masked men similar to him涌出 from behind. These people were men and women, but without exception, they all wore clown masks.
