Is the current Wonder Woman comic really good?

*Spike Spiegel* · 12-18-2006, 02:31 PM

I have been thinking about picking up those back issues of the current (NEW) series and starting a collection of comics about my favorite comic book heroine

I heard it was bimonthly

?

It is indeed bimonthly, as I found out on www.dccomics.com where everyone can go and have a look at the release lists so far.

As for the content, it's not too spectacular. It's not too bad either. It's what I'd file under "Yet another comic book series". Also, Diana isn't Wonder Woman anymore. She quit her "job" at the end of Infinite Crisis and hasn't returned since. However, she's still around as Agent Diana Prince.

Here's who the New Wonder Woman is:

I had already read the first issue but I wasn't sure I wanted to continue. I have a great respect for Diana as a character and want to see her continue.

Meh, I'm not too impressed with it all. I mean, sure, you have a new Wonder Woman, but they left every opening so that Diana could return every second in case the fans don't accept her, which is likely to happen, since everything's not too impressive about the new series. Also, it annoys me to no end that they chose a Wonder Woman who looks exactly like the old one. It's like there's never been a change. Okay, I admit, the new series isn't as bad as the new Flash-series, but it still is far from good. It seems to me that they're not even trying to make an effort.

And your new signature is even bigger than the old one. I mean, seriously, can't you just settle on one picture. And if you do want a personalized signature image, refer to this Thread. You have twentyfour hours before consequences follow.

Novelist Jodi Picoult is going to be doing a story arc staring in March or so that I'm interested in checking out.

I adore Donna's character, but she is'nt Wonder Woman, she's the most convulted heroine in the DC universe, and that distincition gives her an identity of her own entirely. This only serves to screw her place in history up further. She'll probably die (again), and Diana will pick up the mantle within a few more months. Never screw with the classics...unless your name is Green Lantern, which works because it's an organisation.

Diana is the best Wonder Woman. There I said it. As for the comic, it's bi-whenever. It took forever for issue #3 to come out and when it did I was greatly disappointed. They took nearly 3 months to get it out. They could have at least taken that time to come up with a decent comic.

Nah, that doesn't really work either anymore. I mean, look at them. First there's Hal who's been dead and The Spectre, then resurrected for some reason. Then there's Guy Gardner who was GL, Guy Gardner, Warrior and then GL again. He was re-written and retconned to a point where it's ridiculous.

Then we have the GL-organisation. One or two GLs per sector. Sector 2874 has at least three GLs, which doesn't make any sense either.

If they'd respect the GLs for what they are, then they wouldn't pull off this kind of stuff.

I've never been a fan of Alan Heinberg (sp?), but I do like his Wonder Woman.

But then again it may just be the gorgeous art thats making really enjoy this new incarnation.
