Well, considering Diana's previous appearances in this series, I'd be shocked if she doesn't end up face-down in the dirt and/or turned into mud or chewing gum by someone. That seems to be the pattern.

Hopefully Waid cares enough now to actually know/decide which Cheetah this is.
Looks like Rich as more of a were-cheetah like Minerva, but the imp is basically Domaine.

I think the Cheetha is supposed to be Minerva but the Imp is being cute by transforming into Domaine.
Kind of reminded me of Cyber in Rucka's second run.
Jumpa is on the SUPER-PETS SPECIAL: BITEDENTITY CRISIS cover. Hopefully she actually appears in the issue.

Her or Rich would make the most sense. But Waid said basically choose which one it is last time she appeared.
She looked like Domaine since she first appeared. But it honestly doesn't matter which one she looks like. Kinda makes it funny if she is a fan of all of the Cheetahs.

I can imagine thats probably intentional.
Previously we were introduced to Green-Mite who is a fanboy of both Green Lantern and Arrow, appearing in the shape of GL wearing an archer's cap. The Mites are being deliberately kooky with some fun mythology gags here and there.

World's Finest and their sidechick.
I tried asking this elsewhere on CBR, but the only response I got was "buy the omnibus!" and that's not what I'm looking for.
I found the three Wonder Woman Blackest Night issues and was trying to figure out which single issues from the overall event would be needed to make sense of the events in the WW books.
In the first one, she's up against a Black Lantern Maxwell Lord...in the second, [I]she[/I]'s a Black Lantern killing Hippolyta, Cassie and Donna (not fun)...and then in the third one, she's a Star Sapphire fighting a demonic Mera...
Obviously a lot happens between those issues, but if I'm looking to pick up 3 or 4 comics to flesh the story out enough to "get it", which ones do I need?
Thanks guys and gals!

Not the worst choice. Probably the best to be honest from an imp.

Is that Mark back as the Joker? It sounds like him but...rougher. Older. (To be expected)
I hope they paid him well. Apparently he's retiring as Joker without Kevin around to be Batman. (Also, to be expected)
I'm surprised they didn't get Susan E to reprise Wonder Woman.
Is that still Justin Roiland as Rick?

It's Mark.
That is also Abby "I'm Your Girl" Trott as Diana.
I think it's the new VA for Rick?
Cool.
Now back to my Blackest Night question :)

Justin Roiland got recasted yes.
Rick is now voiced by Ian Cardoni and Morty by Harry Beldon, both of whom do a very good job voicing the characters.
Anybody read World's Finest 27? How was Cheetah and Wonder Woman in it? Since Waid is writing WW soon in both Absolute Power and WF.

WW is barely in the story. She is in 3 panels and plays zero role in anything.
[QUOTE=Laser_Man;6829036]WW is barely in the story. She is in 3 panels and plays zero role in anything.[/QUOTE]
Thanks. I ended up reading it myself. Like you said zero role and Cheetah-Mite was one shotted.
[QUOTE=Skytten;6829081]Thanks. I ended up reading it myself. Like you said zero role and Cheetah-Mite was one shotted.[/QUOTE]
One-shotted is a bit much. She like the rest of the villain mites helped the villains clean house on the heroes (we also had Green Arrow getting his ass kicked by Merlyn, Aquaman by Black Manta, and Supergirl was getting throttled by Sha-vam), and they were all only defeated once Myx unleashed an insane army of super-powered Jimmy Olsen's to overwhelm the villains leaving Myx to combat the other mites.

No, I’m saying Cheetah-Mite was one shotted by Myx which she was. He took her (and the others) with one attack. We see the one punch he uses to take her out.

Wonder Woman and Cheetah boh had errible showings. Cheeah was overpowered by tha wolfman. The cheetah mite was also weak. Which makes WW worse since she could do nothing to cheetah mite. waid will likely write WW as a jobber in absolute power. That man has 0 talent to write a good WW.
Which hero who wasn't S/B/R was shown a better character edit?
Was it Aquaman? Nope.
Green Arrow? Nope.
Firestorm? Nope.
Supergirl maybe? Nope.

I certainly will. I myself said every other Mite got one shotted as well. But obviously why it was more important to mention her (other than this being her forum) is because she will be written by Waid both in Absolute Power and WF and she hasn't had any big roles written by Waid in such a long time. So people are curious how it will be when she is to written in two big roles.
[QUOTE=Primal Slayer;6830565]Oh its definitely a continued narrative that she is treated THE WORST. Not just because this is her forum. So keep laughing.[/QUOTE]
She is usually treated worse. And nobody can deny it, when she is supposed to be this important pilar of the DCU and the big iconic super heroine, then you look at the trackrecord, and it ain't all that. Other characters being treated badly, doesn't make anything ok. But one would expect more for the so called fame of super heroines in the industry.

It comes across as very "this man lives rent free in my head" which doesn't sound very healthy, being constantly paranoid over what a particular writer will do at all times.
