WW84 was too messy for me. The current book is only a few issues in. So i can't judge it yet.

[QUOTE=Robanker;5509566]Her sword and shield. They're pretty much her supporting cast at this point so I say we count them.
Okay fine. Jason. He offers nothing of value and only makes the Amazons look worse, playing into the idea that they're misandrists. Anything substantial about Diana having a sibling oft overlooked is better handled by Nubia. Jason only does harm to everyone around.[/QUOTE]
Gotta agree.
In theory I think the idea of Jason has potential... but there isn't a single writer who has found a way to [I]not[/I] make him detestable. :(

Well in slight fairness, he had something of an uphill battle to begin with giving he was tied to the Zeus origin. :p
Currently? WW. Thank you dc. You have truly done it.

Bro, please stop spamming that into every thread.

The Kapetelli's. Like, why?

I used to not care for them since Perez focused mostly on them and pushed Steve and Etta to the backburner after changing their characters and roles (which made it easier for them to be dropped). But I've grown to like them a lot more after re-readings of the Perez run.
I think they make great [I]additions[/I] to the core Man's World cast now along with Myndi, but I'd rather them share screen time with more classic renditions to Steve, Etta and maybe Darnell without shoving any of them into the background the way they did in early Post-Crisis.

That are almost my thoughts about the Kapatelis too, except that i liked them before my re-reading already, just less.

I would say the same thing about the Sandsmarks...

I really liked Julia and Cassie, but Helena and Vanessa I could do without.
[QUOTE=Koriand'r;5532367]I really liked Julia and Cassie, but Helena and Vanessa I could do without.[/QUOTE]
I found Julia and Helena to be analogous, which was annoying in its own right, because why replace one with a duplicate in glasses? And Cassie (at least under her creator Byrne) was an inverted, bratty Vanessa.
I remember Julia being the strong, level headed person whose daughter had these hidden insecurities while Helena was the meek, anxious woman with a hyperactive daughter. Though, now that I've written this out, I think Cassie and Vanessa might have some things to talk about.
Maxwell Lord, because I continue to find his heel turn incomprehensible. AFAIAC the DeMatteis/Giffen/Maguire.Hughes JLI books may be some of the best super-team ensemble writing DC has ever published, and only become poignant since DC has relentlessly tarnished their legacy and tried to poison that world with tedious grimdark. Nothing I remember from them suggested that Maxwell Lord would ever become so evil, or for that matter so powerful. As a Wonder Woman villain, he simply does not belong and I do not want him.

I gotta say I have all those JLI books too and Maxwell Lord becoming a villain isn't that big of a stretch. He was manipulative and unscrupulous from day one. We don't really need him around here though, we already have Dr. Psycho.
