I guess there are pages between WW kicking ST and the rest.

This looks great. Finch's art has been taken up a notch from his Justice League of America and Forever Evil days. His Wonder Woman in Justice League of America wasn't very impressive but I like this quite a bit. Any thoughts on who the villain could be being that he can apparently control water/the weather? It's supposedly one of her old rogues reimagined for the New 52.

Interesting that Hippolyta is shown in what seems to be "full statue" mode--not only stone, but unanimated. I wonder if she "froze up" again after the war (in the process, returning to the pose she was in before) or is those panels are set before she was reanimated.

Wonder Woman is speaking to Swamp Thing in a language he understands. What's so bad about that?

Really enjoyed the preview, hopefully Meredith delivers a great Wonder Woman book for us all.

Do you have to complain about every little thing? Jeez.

I thought the forums were free to give my opinion

Not only is the dialogue to Swamp Thing really silly, i also don't buy into Wonder Woman having "attack first, ask later" attitude.

[Fokken]

That's a lovely opening.

I think that's a pretty harsh judgment of the book based on just a little bit of dialogue.

But I do agree that "vegetative injustice" is an odd-sounding and forced phrase--partly because, as worded, it sounds like it should mean not "injustice against vegetables" but "injustice delivered in a vegetative manner," the way "bestial brutality" would mean brutality in the manner of a brute.

So true vegetative injustice it would be, I guess, a slow-moving, passive sort of injustice: "'I and my Vegetative Injustice League will strip you of everything you hold dear, as soon as we get around to it--but first, a nap!,' cackled Dr. Bureuacracy, making as if to twirl his mustache, but then not bothering, because it would have taken too much energy."

I know right? Back off Wondy. Plants gots feelings too.... apparently. <waves goodbye>

C'mon ladies. Its ONE line.

C'mon ladies. Its ONE line.

To be fair, I also don't like the art (Specifically Diana constant pouty baby face and her mother looking like a thirteen years old, or that broken back + tumor-knee she's sporting on the cover).

Beyond that, I just need to read these pages to have my fears for Meredith Finch's writing confirmed: a generally bland, unharmful style that can fall into dips of stupidity ("vegetative injustice" god), and attempted poetry (oh a monologue about the rain, how poetic).
Typical "first time/unexperienced writer's writing. It would be perfectly acceptable on a lower key book.
Not on Wonder Woman. Not after Brian "Need I remind you I won an Eisner" Azzarello.
