As both writer and artist, Martinez (REPRESENT!: “It’s A Bird,” Batgirls, Nubia Coronation Special) creates a team-up readers would never expect, as Nubia and Mr. Mxyzptlik join forces to prevent both a dark mage and a minotaur from invading Themyscira.[/QUOTE]
Golly im looking forward to this one XD
I am glad Nubia continues to be present in stories.

I like the idea of this story, and I definitely want to read it. But, how in the world did a dark mage and a Minotaur get a hold of Mxyzptlk? The story is both grand and small at the same time.
Will they address it? I don’t care too much, but I’m interested in seeing how they explain the setup.
How are people feeling about Nubia as Queen of the Amazons? Is it an interesting development? Only for show? Under-written? Pretty much the same situation as Hippolyta?
I personally would have been more interested in Nubia is she had her own "space" to occupy in the mythology, rather than just taking over the throne. I like Hippolyta on the throne, Artemis being the hot-tempered one, Cassie being the adopted Amazon learning and improving, Phillipus as the solemn general with a warm touch, etc.
It might have done more for the character to be integrated in with her own traits and purpose, and then later take over as Queen. (Not that I enjoy Hippolyta dying or giving up her throne in general.)
How about Nubia is the travelling knight errant? Maybe she wants to see the world and understand her place in it after so much time on the Island. She could run the embassy, too. Kind of like Rucka wrote Diana.

I think she's been fine as Queen but I also think it holds her back to a degree as they want her to have plenty of adventures off the island. I think it should come to a point where Phillipus takes up the crown. Nubia leaves for her own adventures and is a diplomat just as Diana is.

Nubia being Queen has been ok. Nothing has blown me away but it isn't terrible. Although, I feel as if writers haven't found her voice yet. As of now, I feel like her voice still sounds too much like Diana. Artemis, Donna, Yara, and Cassie, all have their own unique/distinct voice and tone, but I still don't get that with Nubia.

Well,that's disheartening.When I saw people praising so much "Nubia and the Amazons",I thought we finally got something right in the wonderverse and now I hear that she still doesn't have her own voice and that her crowning achievement(no pun intended) may be a mistake
