"Wonder Woman/Captain America: Alpha Child" by Dimitri

"Wonder Woman/Captain America: Alpha Child" by Dimitri (dimitri_resides@hotmail.com). Guest review by Tooshoes. Like the Wonder Woman TV show, Alpha Child is set in WWII days. Most of the action takes place in Germany, where the Nazis were more advanced than our history books tell us. They had already perfected the technologies of sex-androids and inter-dimensional travel. They also have orifice-seeking tentacle monsters and lots of super-heroes, heroines and villains. Otherwise, this story captures the feel of an authentic WWII story. The plot in a nutshell: The Nazis want to destroy the two American superheroes by any means sexual, while at the same time mating the two, creating an offspring that would supposedly be the perfect genetic specimen. So the trick is capturing and controlling the heroes, which turns out to be surprisingly easy, especially when you consider how long this story is (about equivalent to 100 paperback pages). There are several intriguing subplots in Alpha Child, but these are bogged down by highly repetitive sexual adventures, mostly involving rape, mind control (via Wonder Woman's magic lasso) and strange creatures (androids and tentacle monsters). This story fails to treat these fetishes in a fresh way, and the sex scenarios do nothing to move the plot along. But I did get a few laughs from the androids, and their naive and totally logical approach towards sex. The plot picks up quickly in the last few pages, ending strong, but for me, it was too little, too late.
