I'm excited to see Themyscira through Nubia's eyes. Everything Williams has said so far sounds good.
[QUOTE=Gaius;5637661]lol, I love them describing Artemis as the Guy Gardner of the Wonder Woman world.[/QUOTE]
That got a laugh out of me too. Artemis/Guy Gardner team-up, when? :p

[QUOTE=Avi;5636894]Stephanie Williams was on the [URL="https://anchor.fm/cerebrocast/episodes/Episode-043-Roxy-Washington-feat--Stephanie-Williams-e14iprj"]Cerebro Podcast[/URL] and while she talked mainly about X-Men, she also let some info drop about her Nubia stories starting at approx. hour 2:
Nubia won't be Diana's sister, but they are going to have a connection.
Philippus and Nubia will certainly interact. The story focuses on Nubia coming into her own as the queen of the Amazons. Williams describes it as Nubia's "T'Challa moment".
We'll learn more about Themyscira. Specifically, The Cavern/Well of Souls is mentioned. There'll be an effort to show that Themyscira is open to all women. Meaning trans women are included.[/QUOTE]
All of this sounds really good.

[QUOTE=John Venus;5637892]Hmm, guess she could just be Philipus's daughter but Hippolyta raised her still.
[B]That's the least flattering description of Artemis I've ever heard[/B].[/QUOTE]
Agree!!
The last time I read anything about Guy Gardner was at the JLI 20 years ago, I don't know how much the character has changed, but for me Artemis is far from being like him.

The unrest surrounding Nubia’s ascension is rising fast! The politics of her new role and responsibilities as guardian of Doom’s Doorway have led to rumblings that she isn’t quite ready to lead. How can she prove her worthiness? As any monarch on Paradise Island would…an Amazon fight club![/QUOTE]

After their fight club battle, Nubia believes she has gained an ally in the warrior Andromeda. Little does she know, this new prospect destined to become Champion of Doom’s Doorway is a little too eager to prove herself, and it has led to a bargain with the evil she swore to protect Man’s World against![/QUOTE]

Huh?
A fight club is the last concept I would associate with the amazons of Themyscira.
I am intrigued about how this plays out...

Looks like the Nubia series will be leading up to another storyline.

I'm not up on my Nubia continuity but this title brings up a peeve of mine. If Nubia is an Amazon, then it shouldn't be Nubia and the Amazons--because that makes it sound like the two are separate (to my ear anyway). You got your Nubia and you got your Amazons. A better title would be Nubia of the Amazons, if she's an Amazon.
It's like it shouldn't be Jason and the Argonauts--Jason was an Argonaut. No Frankie Valli and the Four Seaons--Frankie was a Season. No Paul McCartney and Wings--Paul was a Wing.

Eh, it's no different than the [I]Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps[/I] title from a few years back.

Well in the solicitation of the Annual 2021 it says "Judgment is coming for all the Amazons, and you won't want to miss this prologue story leading directly to the next chapter of the Wonder Woman epic!" so probably is the next arc in Wonder Woman main series.

Multi book event books are usually annoying, but since we've never had one in the WW books (because we usually only get one!) I will consider it a win.
